North and Tartan High Schools brought together twenty-five dedicated Super Fans to participate in the Metro East Conference Super Fan summit at the Roseville Oval on Wednesday, September 13th.

Purchasing school supplies can get expensive for families. You should save your receipts from these purchases because most school supply purchases qualify for a valuable K-12 Education Credit or Subtraction. Learn more about the credit and subtraction and how to claim it on your taxes next year: www.revenue.state.mn.us/k-12-education-subtraction-and-credit

We kindly ask ALL 622 families to complete the application for educational benefits. Even though school meals are free for students this year, there are still other benefits that come from completing the form. Visit isd622.org/services/nutrition or scan the QR code below to apply.

Why is it important to fill out the application? Check out this article from the Star Tribune about educational benefits.

622 families, please check that your contact information is up to date in Campus Parent.

Jill Markovich recently donated a treasure trove of woodcarving tools and accessories to Gladstone Senior Programs previously owned by Paul Kummel, a retired Principal of Richardson Elementary School.

We now have an amazing collection of tools at our disposal, ready to take your woodworking skills to the next level.

The woodworking club meets at Gladstone in Room 107A from 1-3pm every Tuesday. One of our very own members, Dennis St. George, won a blue ribbon at the State Fair this year in the woodcarving and whittling class. Congratulations Dennis!

This beautiful little library was created by Laura Greenlee-Karp, and it holds a very special place in our hearts. It's not just about books; it's about celebrating diversity, inclusion, and the power of storytelling.

The library pays tribute to "The Snowy Day" by Jack Ezra Keats, a timeless tale that features a young African-American boy named Peter. Jack Ezra Keats, an author and illustrator, was a visionary who recognized the importance of representation in children's literature.

Gladstone Little Free Library stands as a symbol of this commitment to diversity and inclusivity. It houses a treasure trove of books for both adults and children, inviting everyone to learn, grow, and explore new worlds.

We invite you to visit the Gladstone Little Free Library, take a book, leave a book, and be part of a community that celebrates the power of stories to unite and inspire.

Let's continue to honor the legacy of Jack Ezra Keats and his dedication to ensuring that every child sees themselves in the pages of a book.

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​.
