"Educational Excellence with an Environmental Emphasis"
Annual Stowe Elementary Fruit, Flower, and Vegetable Show
September 23rd - Thursday
The Fruit, Flower, and Vegetable Show has been a tradition for over 60 years here at Stowe. To celebrate our growing season in Northern Minnesota, we encourage all students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 to enter displays of Fruit, Flowers and/or Vegetables that students, friends, or family have grown in the area. Every year each child takes great pride in whatever they bring, so please encourage them to enter something in the show. Students will be able to view the show with their classmates during the school day and entries will go home the same day. An entry form was sent home with each student for more details, a copy of that form is also included here.

Masking Reminders
Students, staff and families have done a great job so far wearing masks in school. Wearing masks and getting vaccinated are two important ways to keep schools open for in-person learning this fall. As a reminder, students and staff are required to wear masks in all district buildings unless eating or drinking. Parents are asked to not enter the building at this time based on our ISD 709 Safe Learning Plan. Masking is not required while outside of the building. Please send a spare mask with your children in case they lose or break their mask. Any exception to the mask requirement would need to follow the ADA process. Thank you.

College of Saint Scholastica Tutoring Services
During the pandemic last year, Duluth Public Schools secured a county grant and partnered with The College of Saint Scholastica to provide tutoring support services to our students.
This fall, we are able to continue with this support from our CSS partners! Woo-hoo! They will utilize their Work Study money for those students who qualify and have some remaining dollars available from our contract last year.
Here is a link to book a tutor for your child:
