Local Businesses supporting SAP Elementary
Thank you to Hampton Park Co-op and Sunrise Banks for each making SAPSA the recipient of their monthly round-up/donation programs during the fall. We appreciate your support!

School Choice Fair and SAP Open Houses
We need parents and guardians of current students to help promote our school! During this "school choice" season, families considering SAP really appreciate hearing from current families about their experiences with SAP. We need your help! Please consider helping out with:
School Choice Fair (Saturday, December 9)
SAP Open House (Monday, January 22 from 8:00-10:00 AM)
School Tours (Tuesdays and Fridays throughout January - April).
School Choice Fair is at the St. Paul RiverCentre. We need volunteers to work with Dr. Duke, Ms. Hass, and school staff to hand out information and share what they love about SAP with families who are "shopping" for a St. Paul school. People always love the opportunity to talk with parents of current students, about their experiences at and perspectives of our school.
There are three shifts. Parking is easy and is across the street from the RiverCentre Parking Ramp & Transportation | Saint Paul RiverCentre | Saint Paul RiverCentre
The SAP Open House will be at school during the school day. We need volunteers to greet visitors and walk around with tour groups (led by students) to talk about what makes SAP a great school.
School Tours happen on Tuesdays and Fridays through the winter and spring. 1-2 tour guides lead a group around the school so they can see our awesome teachers in action. Training and direction are provided if you want it.
Sign up for the School Choice Fair or Open Houses HERE.

5th Grade Trip Fundraiser
Over five days during the fall, fifth graders and their families raked leaves for 27 neighbors in St. Anthony Park. We had volunteer teams made up of nearly 20 fifth graders and their families and are so grateful for their hard work! Thanks to their efforts and the generosity of our neighbors, the fifth graders "raked in" a grand total of $2,775 which will go a long way to funding partial and full scholarships, which will help to make the fifth grade trip to Wolf Ridge within reach for all students and their families! Neighbors were very enthusiastic about supporting the kids and their trip and were super grateful for the work we did and the energy our rakers brought to every yard! Many of the neighbors we spoke with asked us to "put them on the list" for next year! Thanks to all who took part to make our first annual fifth grade leaf raking fundraiser a success!
