Food Drive:

Did you know that over 42 million people face food insecurity in the United States? As a community, let’s help as many families as we can get food on their table with a food drive! Starting May 14th through May 21st, students can bring non-perishable food and personal care items to the barrels that will be located at Simley’s entrance. This food drive is brought to you by the Tri-District CAPS students and is also being held at South St. Paul High School. Let’s show our Spartan pride by beating the Packers! More information can be found on posters located around the school.

We are thrilled to announce that Volkswagen of Inver Grove will support our graduation season again this year, providing the program on complimentary flash drives to your 2021 graduate families. You can pick them up at Volkswagen beginning Saturday, June 26.

 

Last chance to order a yearbook!
