We hope this message finds you well. We want to thank the PTO and Susan Lindgren Families for the very kind and thoughtful gifts that were presented to us at the April 29th PTO Meeting.


As we prepare to embark on new adventures, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible thoughtfulness and unwavering support you have shown us.

Your kindness has made our time at Susan Lindgren truly special, and we are immensely grateful for the wonderful memories we have shared. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of such a caring and vibrant community.

Strategic Plan Focus Groups

St. Louis Park Public Schools is building its next 5-year strategic plan (2025–2030), and we need your input to ensure it reflects the lived experiences of all families.


While we’ve received valuable input from many community members, we recognize the critical importance of including more perspectives from our Black, Asian, and Indigenous families.


PINK Consulting, LLC invites Black, Asian, and Indigenous families to participate in a confidential focus group to share how the last strategic plan—centered on racial equity—impacted you and your student(s).
