Phy- Ed Update ~ From Ms. Stefonowicz and Ms. Jergenson

In Physical Education we have been working on volleyball skills, frisbee skills, stunts and tumbling activities, glow ball and tag games. We have been enjoying being outside and will be doing track and field events.  

National Teacher Appreciation Week off to a great start!

Teachers and staff have enjoyed the start of the week, including a surprise Girl Scout Cookies and milk delivery (thank you, Aimee Munson!), and will end their week on a sweet note with a yummy treat from A-Z Creamery! 

Families: on Friday, remember to have students wear their teacher’s favorite color. And it’s never too late to send in a card or picture of appreciation- they are a special gift to teachers any day! 

Thanks to such a successful Silent Auction fundraiser, the PTO is funding the entire Teacher Appreciation week this year - thank you, Susan Lindgren community for your support!!

School Supply Kits - Online Ordering now Open 

School Supply Kits are back after rave reviews last year! For your convenience, we’ve partnered with @SproutSchoolSupplies for our second year. Sprout offers prepackaged school supply kits customized to exactly match Susan Lindgren’s grade-specific classroom lists. Make back-to-school easier than ever and order your school supply kit today! 

The PTO is purchasing high quality headphones for ALL Susan Lindgren students for the 24-25 school year, thanks to additional funds raised through the Silent Auction fundraiser!  

Therefore headphones will NOT be included in the kits and have been removed from the school supply list this year, reducing the overall cost to families.  These headphones will be higher quality and a longer term investment, with the goal that they last beyond one year.

Order now at https://sproutsupplies.com/order with our School Code: SLES001.  Order by June 18

Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer S-EBT

The S-EBT program provides families with school-aged children eligible for free or reduced-price school meals at $40 per month per child ($120 total) during the summer months to purchase healthy foods with funds on EBT cards. Minnesota will provide eligible students with a one-time summer payment of $120.00 per child on their S-EBT card.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 authorized a permanent, nationwide S-EBT program for eligible families beginning in 2024. The program will be a joint effort between the MN Department of Education (MDE), the MN Department of Human Services (DHS) and MN Information Technology Services (MNIT). 

St. Louis Park Schools is reaching out to families that may qualify for this Summer Benefit. Families that know they receive Free or Reduced Benefits will NOT need to do anything. The S-EBT card will be mailed to you automatically. If you are not sure if you have qualified or need help completing the Free and Reduced Benefits application, please contact the School Nutrition Department at 952-928-6146 or email woelffer.jodie@slpschools.org

Please submit applications by May 15, 2024 to qualify for the S-EBT.
