Last Tuesday, May 9, the 622 community came together to celebrate the cultures of our families. The event featured performances by students. including by our dual immersion elementary students, food, and lots of fun!

The crazy daisy annual event, which was held at Gladstone senior center last month with Hocus Pocus magician Markus Clegg, was a huge success. With acts such as magic rings, card tricks and shadow puppetry, our seniors were very entertained. The decadent dessert sponsored by Shores of Lake Phalen sweetly topped off the afternoon.

Governor Tim Walz recently signed the bill to provide universal free school meals for all students, regardless of household income. The new program will begin in the upcoming 2023-24 school year.

In the meantime, families that currently do not qualify for free or reduced meals must continue to pay for school meals for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year.

If your child is approved for Educational Benefits (free or reduced-priced school meals), they may be eligible for P-EBT benefits of $8.10 for each day they were absent due to a COVID-19-related illness.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month off their internet bills (or up to $75 per month for households living on Tribal lands), as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off an eligible connected device like a laptop, desktop computer or tablet. In many cases, households can get high-speed internet without paying a dime by choosing a fully covered internet plan.

A household is eligible to participate in the ACP if a child in the household receives free or reduced-price school meals. Therefore, under the ACP rules, every household with a child attending a school participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program is eligible for ACP benefits.

Households can learn more and apply for the ACP at GetInternet.gov​.
