First Artist Panel of the year! Shoutout to CASS alumni who are changing the world with their art!

[Matthew R. Kay @MattRKay]

My unasked-for 2 cents

1) Less kids are “reading for fun” outside of school. (I find the stats devastating!) This impacts things more than school does.

2) The farther secondary ELA gets from “lets read and talk about cool books” the farther it gets from being a *solution.*

Here is an unfortunate part about grief. I NEED TO TALK TO THE PERSON THAT DIED.

First Friday Open Mic is my favorite. Two seniors taking a beautiful risk today singing and playing the piano! #wearecreative @sppscass

@swaeria @sppscass 🙌🙌

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

It’s been two years since we had a night like this. Great families. Talented kids. Supportive and knowledgeable staff. This was the food my soul needed as we head into spring break.

[Creative Arts Secondary School @sppscass]

The stage is set for our first annual Arts Night!

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

I always wanted the game Operation as a kid. It was even better to play the games students had made. 😂

[Creative Arts Secondary School @sppscass]

Mr Winberg’s Physical Science classes made their versions of ‘Operation’ to demonstrate current and voltage. It was so fun to play!

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Just because most kids are in school buildings doesn't mean that this year is "normal."

Many are saying it's the hardest year yet.

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

@yesimhotinthis Ordering this for my school’s library!!

Watering the school garden when it’s in the 90’s is a Saturday family affair.

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

We will have two community gardens at @sppscass this summer: one for our downtown community and one for our school community! #wesupporteachother

[Creative Arts Secondary School @sppscass]

Shoutout to our Environmental Science classes for getting our playdeck community garden started!

If you can barely recognize the Twin Cities you know and love, please listen to our neighbors who’ve been living in fear, inequity, and insecurity for their entire lives. We’ve mistook quiet for peace for far too long, and the absence of justice for some means insecurity for all.

Secondary Families:
SPPS will begin in-person learning for all 6-12th grade students who want it starting Wednesday, April 14. 6-12th grade students who wish to stay in distance learning for the remainder of the school year must enroll in virtual learning by Thursday, March 11.

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

Kicking off today with some grounding!

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

I have never successfully used a planner in my life. But distance learning has me trying all sorts of new things.

[Creative Arts Secondary School @sppscass]

Using your assignment book really can help keep track of things in distance learning.

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

As families pick up their materials for school we’ve been offering them vegetables from our community garden. Today I harvested potatoes! It’s been so awesome to feed our downtown and @sppscass communities!

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

#collegewearwednesday is still a thing, right @sppsavid ?

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

@sppsmaldonado and I hosted two Zoom parent meetings today and have two more on Monday. It was just so good to connect with people. We visited with new and returning families, calmed some worries, and had some laughs. (Insert sigh of contentment) #wesupporteachother

[Kristen Lynch @SPPSLynch]

Appreciating the ability to #WFH. Puppy is happy while I engage in @SPPSmathrocks training this morning. #wearegoodatwhatwedo
