Costa Rica Update
We will be here for 2 weeks. Today was our first day and we went on the coffee tour to see how coffee is grown and processed and then we went to an orphanage in San José to play with the kids and make some donations. Tomorrow we go to the Arenal Volcano and hot springs
Freshman Orientation: There will be an orientation for incoming Freshmen on June 29th (Mon), June 30th (Tues), or July 7th (Tues) between 12:00 - 2:00pm in the courtyard. There will be several tables with information on different programs and activities for students. Students will also be able to obtain their schedules. Tours will also be available.
HP Students win the National History Day competition:
More than a half-million elementary and secondary students compete each year in the contest. Students extensively research and analyze a
historical topic and present their work in original papers, websites,
exhibits, performances and documentaries. Dena Coffman, Erica Dombro and Hannah Powers took first-place and won the $5,000
History Channel Award for a group documentary. Congrats!! Read the Star Tribune article.
A message from Principal, Dr. Nancy Katzmarek regarding the H1N1 Virus:
I want to take a moment to remind you that, even as you return to your summer routine, whether it include school or not, there are still tips we want you to take into consideration to keep yourselves healthy. The Minnesota Department of Health continues to tell us that H1N1 Novel Influenza is behaving much like other influenza strains, but is still present in the community. If someone in your family has a fever of more than 100-degrees and a cough or sore throat, health experts are advising that you stay at home for seven days. If you need help finding medical attention, please contact Neighborhood Health Care Network at (651-) 489-4899. For periodic updates on this and other issues, please go to the Saint Paul Public Schools website, at www.spps.org . Again, thank you for supporting your student and our school.
