Fourth grade families - Elders Wisdom Children's Song Project:

We are excited to share that it is time to begin the Elders Wisdom Children's Song project with your students. Each class will adopt an elder from our community to tell his or her story. Each story is recorded, transcribed, analyzed and interpreted by the students. Inspired by the life story of the elder, each class will write and perform a song about their elder. The PSI community celebration of the elders will be held on Tuesday, May 2 at 6:30 p.m.

Fourth graders will be seeking assistance in helping to identify elders in our community who could come into the classrooms, share their stories, and be honored at our celebration. We would like the elder to be a member of our St. Louis Park community, possibly a family member, friend, neighbor, coach, etc. Please contact Sra. Wieber if you know of an elder who might be interested in participating in this project.

¡Gracias!

PSI PTO Imagination & Inventors' Fair

The 2023 PSI Imagination & Inventors' Fair is scheduled for next Tuesday, January 17, 2023 from 6:00-7:30 pm in the PSI gym. The goal of the Imagination & Inventors' Fair is to encourage all families to participate and nurture our children's love of science and imagination!

Each child will have half a table to display their project. The gym will be open as early as 4:00 pm the day of the fair for participants to begin setting up. For those wishing to register their child, please use the link located HERE.

Registration closes tomorrow, Friday, January 13th. Table assignments and additional instructions will be emailed to participating families by Monday, January 16th.
