Dear Susan Lindgren School Community,

It has been my great honor to lead this wonderful school for the past seven years. I am deeply grateful for the support, dedication, and spirit that each of you has brought to our community. Working alongside such inspiring students, families, and staff has been a true privilege, and I will miss this community immensely. Thank you for making these years so meaningful—I will always cherish my time here.

Community Resource Event

It’s time for the 4th Annual Senior Resource Fair - don’t miss this free event!

Cart Art in the Park Contest

Through the new Cart Art in the Park contest, members of the St. Louis Park community are able to submit original artwork that reflects the theme of organics recycling to be displayed on organics carts at multifamily drop-sites. Residents living in apartments, townhomes and condos can use these carts to dispose of their food scraps instead of throwing them in the trash. Food scraps are then composted, and the resulting compost can be used to create nutrient-rich soil for gardening and landscaping.

The winning artwork will be displayed as a two-dimensional, 11-inch by 17-inch decal on organics carts at the 11 multifamily organics drop-sites located throughout the city for a minimum of one year.

Your art could inspire more residents to sign up for city organics programs and divert their food scraps from the garbage!
