Our 5th grade leadership team is organizing a food drive May 1-31. All donations will be going to the Neighborhood House in St. Paul to benefit local families. If you are able to donate, consider donating in the following categories:

• Pre-K/K: toiletries, baby food/formula, diapers

• 1 and ½ split (Ulla): snack foods (popcorn, fruit snacks, etc.)

• 2: breakfast foods (coffee, oatmeal, breakfast bars, pop tarts, etc.)

• 3: lunch foods (rice, beans, canned meat/fish, peanut butter, etc.)

• 4: dinner foods (oil, pasta, pasta sauce, etc.)

• 5: canned vegetables/fruit

*All donations are great and obviously there is overlap between categories.

The 5th grade leadership team will count donations and the two classrooms with the highest numbers (one from preK-2 and one from grades 3-5) will have a reward to be decided on by the 5th grade leaders. Thank you!

Highland Park Middle School will be having a Meet & Greet (like an open house for incoming 6th graders only – meet 6th grade teachers) on Thursday May 11, 2023, from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

Sixth grade staff will be in their classrooms. Families will check in the main lobby of the middle school & meet administrators and counselors there, & families be given a map with room numbers and names of staff that their students will have next year. This is a “come-and go as you please” event, i.e., there is no formal presentation.
