FSO - Fundraising
The Hidden River FSO is beginning to fundraise to support our families, staff, and the community and we need YOUR help!
Our goal is to raise $15,000, the equivalent of a little more than $25 per student. In the past few years, we have used our money to support
Staff Appreciation Events
Student Honor Roll and Graduation Events
Books for the Library
Student Programs (AVID, WEB, Dare 2 Be Real and more)
Field Trips
Counseling and Nursing Supplies
Volunteer Background Checks
Community Engagement (Student T-Shirts, Childcare and Food at FSO Meetings, Staff Appreciation Efforts, and more)
Community (Staff, Student and Parent/Guardian) Requests for Supplies or Events to Enrich Our Students' Experiences (like the new Little Free Library and the expanded bicycle racks!)
If your family is able to support us, donations can be made in a number of ways. You can find us online through the GiveMN donation platform at https://www.givemn.org/organization/Hiddenriver.
If you prefer to write a check, it can be made out and sent to
Hidden River Middle School FSO
1700 Summit Ave
Saint Paul, MN 55105.
We are also able to collect cash, check and credit card donations in person at school events - just look for the FSO table.
All donations are tax-deductible! We also appreciate corporate matches and Amazon Smile donations (currently we are still listed on Amazon as the Ramsey Middle School Parent Teacher Organization – but we are trying to change that).
Thank you for your support!!

Classroom Updates

Hunger Impact Partners
With our partners, we are working to inform families they can access federal funds through the Child Tax Credit. Deadline is November 15, 2022.
Families with no income or low income could get at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit, plus $1,400 with the third stimulus payment - even if they have never filed taxes before and if they have not filed taxes this year. It is estimated that more than 33,000 children in Minnesota could miss out on this money if their parent/guardian has not filed.
There is an easy form for people to file on their mobile devices in 15 minutes or less at: getctc.org
Counseling Corner
**Class visits will take place the week of October 31st. Counselors will go into a core class (class that meets everyday) to deliver Core Counseling content.
**Families, please think about how you want grades delivered to you at the end of each term (quarter) for Final Marks. You can receive them multiple ways: via Campus Portal (Parents can access); via email (Counseling staff email to guardians at the end of term); or the Physical Copy of the Grades Report can be sent home with your child. Please click the highlighted area in the link below to indicate how you would like to receive your child’s grades.
