St. Anthony Park's 15th Annual Read-a-Thon, January 10-20
We had a great launch to this year's Read-a-Thon this Monday! In case your child missed it, or you'd like to watch, here is the Read-a-Thon kick-off video from Monday. Our goal is 195,000 minutes and word on the street is that students are reading up a storm at home and school. If you need a back up version of materials, please check out our website at ww.sapsamn.org/read-a-thon
Pledges are rolling in already! If you would like to encourage friends and family from near and far to sponsor your student, we will be accepting cash and checks. But the easiest way to support your student is online! Donate here: https://www.givemn.org/story/Read2022
We hope you will help support your student by snuggling up for a read-a-loud, borrowing books from the library or simply encouraging
them when they are reading and helping them logging their minutes. Our collective goal is to get lost in books that activate our hearts and minds so we can foster a love for reading this winter and have some while doing it together.
And when we hit our goal? Dr. Duke will transform into a Super Reader all day!

Thank You For Your Generous Blanket Donations!
Thank you to all the families who donated to our Blanket Drive to benefit Project Reach. We are proud of the work our students did to contribute to this important cause and to their families for supporting the project.
Thank you also to parents, Cara Melvin and Lara Bollweg, for organizing our first service project of the year. We look forward to a few more opportunities to give back to our community this spring!
Get Vaccinated, Skip Quarantine
Fully vaccinated persons do not have to quarantine! You will still be notified if your vaccinated child was a close contact, but they will not have to stay home. Please have your child vaccinated against COVID-19!! Saint Paul Public Schools is offering free vaccine clinics on January 13, 20, 22, and February 2 at various district sites.
