Marilynn Forsberg, Spring Lake Park Schools school board member since 1982, has been recognized by Minnesota School Board Association for her commitment to school board service and education.

With 1,200 student submissions and 217 submissions, the first Panther Pride Sweepstakes was a success. The event allowed the community to engage with the Panther Foundation, learn about the district and provide funds for the schools. 

Seniors Ellie Jeppson and Bella Sciara are this year's student representatives on the Spring Lake Park Schools school board.

When our seniors graduate next spring, each will have had opportunities to engage in hands-on experience as they explore potential career paths through our Career and College Pathways courses. Each will have had an opportunity to earn 12 or more college credits by the end of the 12th grade without leaving the support of their high school environment. Through these experiences and more, it's our goal to ensure our graduates are set to soar.

We've officially welcomed the Class of 2034 to Spring Lake Park Schools. We know the most important things these students will learn in our schools is who they are as a learner, how they learn and where they want to go as they move through their career at SLP and beyond. For this year's Kindergarteners, that learning started at Kinder Camp before the school year began. The goal? To set each student up for K-12 success starting day one.

For 15 years running, Spring Lake Park Schools has received the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting award.

While this school year may continue to be impacted by COVID-19, the energy at the beginning of this new year of learning is focused on transitioning out of pandemic. We're off to a strong start as we accelerate learning, provide enrichment, support social and emotion well-being, and build (and re-build) community in our schools.

Several Spring Lake Park School staff members started their next adventure as retirees during the pandemic. As a learning community, we gathered to recognize their tremendous contributions to our schools and community and celebrate their next steps with them.

Congratulations to junior Rachel Keenan for winning first place for her acrylic painting titled “Letting Go” in the 2021 MN-05 Congressional Art Competition.
