Local Schools
The five schools that serve St. Anthony Park are helping build a community prepared for the future. We'd like to provide venues where students can communicate beyond the classroom about climate action and the “Smaller Footprint, Stronger Community” goal. Student voices are welcome at our meetings. For details, send an email to Mindy Keskinen, communications@TransitionASAP.org.
Some recent projects:
-
St. Anthony Park Elementary: At this School Forest/Outdoor Learning site, students are exploring trees and their uses. They're also interested in zero waste ideas.
