Learn About the Levy
Extra Clothes at School
If your child has had an accident and came home with clothes that belong to the school, please wash them and return them to school as soon as possible. We use them frequently and are running low right now.
Also, if you would like to donate any of these items, feel free to send them to school with your child. We need a variety of sizes for both boys and girls. Pants with an elastic waist work best for our students.
New 60-Second Levy Snapshot
In 60 seconds, a new video explains how a successful levy this fall would stabilize class sizes and maintain comprehensive programs for the next decade. Click here or on the image at right to watch the new video about the levy, and visit www.moundsviewschools.org/doneforadecade to learn more. Early voting begins October 29 at the Shoreview library.
Visiting Pike Lake
Snackpack Program
The Snackpack program is supported by community donations and volunteers. It is designed to provide non-perishable food items every Friday to children that would benefit from supplemental nourishment over the weekend. Snackpacks consist of 8-10 mini meals and snack items that are child friendly, non-perishable and easily consumed. Bags are dispensed in a discreet and caring manner by school staff each week. This program runs the full school year and there is no cost to participate.
If you wish for your child(ren) to participate in the program please contact Barb Schochenmaier at Pike Lake at 651-621-7438 to request a permission form. If your children attend more than one school, you can include them all on one permission form.
Interest in supporting the Snackpack program? Visit ralphreederfoodshelf.com or call 651-621-6280.
Sincerely,
Lisa Baker
Ralph Reeder Food Shelf Program Manager
