Read-a-Thon


...is going on NOW. We hope your students are having fun reading! The Read-A-Thon is also an important fundraiser for the school. Family, friends, and neighbors can sponsor your student (pledging a certain amount per minute) or simply make a donation. Send donations to school with your student at the conclusion of the Read-A-Thon, or make them online at: https://www.givemn.org/story/Read2025


Students that meet their goals get a ticket entered in a raffle. Classes that meet their goals get a cookie party. And if the whole school meets its goal? Frost gets to be principal for the day!


Watch Dr. Duke's kickoff video HERE.

In this issue ... Read-a-Thon, spirit night at Zero Gravity, and our mascot gets a name! Oh, and the 4th graders put on an incredible puppet show with the help of Hinterhands Puppet Company, their grade’s artist residency this year. Traveling through time and space, set to Beatles songs, the show was fantastic!




Upcoming Events



  • Monday, January 27th - No School (teacher training)


 

And our mascot's name is...


Frost! Word on the street is that "Anthony" and "Wolfie" were also in the running, but "Frost" seemed the perfect name for St. Anthony Park Elementary's new mascot. He has been putting in appearances at school rallies, and even woke up early one morning to welcome his students to school. Thanks to everyone who helped name him!
