I have recently “retired” after serving for six years on the
South St. Paul Educational Foundation Board of Directors
and would like to take a moment to reflect….
This Foundation – donors, supporters, volunteers, staff and
board combine to form a most impressive organization whose
sole function is to support the students, staff and schools
in South St. Paul. For more than 25 years the work of this
Foundation has been nothing short of amazing!
I have been actively involved as a parent and volunteer in six
school districts in five states and what you have here in this
community is unmatched. This is by far the most rewarding
volunteer opportunity I have ever been involved with.
You should be very proud of this Foundation! If you are
involved, in any capacity, THANK YOU, you are making
a huge difference in our children’s lives! If you are
not yet involved, please join us, we can use your help,
both financially and volunteering your time and talents.
Supporting this Foundation and this community may be one
of the best things you ever do – it was for me!
See everyone at the 2014 Gala, if not before….
Thanks for letting me be a part of your community!

International
Baccalaureate at
SSP Thrives Due to
Foundation Support
The SSP Educational Foundation
provides funds to cover fees to
the IBO. These fees provide SSP
students with a level of education
excellence that is hard to match.
SSP instructors teaching in the
PYP (Primary Years Program),
MYP (Middle Years Program),
and within the high school’s IB
Diploma Program get additional
training through the International
Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)
to enhance their skills.
The SSP Educational Foundation
funds provide the needed
resources for the SSP public
schools to be able to pay the
fees to the IBO, which in turn
allows the schools to set the
cornerstones for creating K-12
excellence in educational
programming and better
preparing students for their
futures.
The funding made available
through the SSP Educational
Foundation allows SSP to
continue to offer this outstanding
academic programming to all
of its students. Students benefit
from the district’s thoroughly
committed administrators and
instructors, who work tirelessly to
keep up-to-date in the nuances
of the programming provided by
the IBO.
2012-2013
Endowed Funds Create Lasting
Memories
Linda Kjerland, a special education teacher at Kaposia Education
Center and Jon Gustafson, a 7th grade math teacher were
presented the 16th Annual “Roxanne Bliss Silver Apple Award”
from the South St. Paul Educational Foundation. Linda Kjerland
was nominated by students Nicky Rorhlen, Chase Rosenquist and
Thomas Barth. Jon Gustafson was nominated by Matt and Emily
Forbrook. Don Bliss, SSP Class of 1950 established the Silver
Apple Award in honor of his wife, Roxanne Waldhauser Bliss,
SSP Class of 1951. This award was created to encourage students
to appreciate educators or support staff who are especially
important to them. It is their belief that school employees play a
very instrumental role in the future success of students. Students
nominate a
teacher or
other employee
who made a
significant
difference in
their lives.
Award recipients
received a
silver apple
commemorating
the award, as
well as a cash
stipend.

Our Students Benefit from
Every Gift–Large or Small
The Foundation enthusiastically looks forward to your
gifts of time, talents and monies as we continue our support for programs, projects and scholarships for the students and staff of South St. Paul Public Schools.
You are welcome to visit the Foundation office at 521
Marie Avenue in South St. Paul to discuss volunteer
opportunities or pick up a donation form. You can mail
contributions with a note or make a gift on line on our
website (www.sspef.com).
South St. Paul school employees can make payroll
deductions. Many companies have matching gift programs. Shares of stock are a welcome gift to the South St.
Paul Educational Foundation and often benefit the donor
as well. Your donation is tax-deductible, based on your
original purchase price or value on the date of the gift.
In either case, you can contribute without touching cash
accounts or incurring out-of-pocket expense.
The future will present many opportunities and challenges. Our ability to meet them successfully depends upon
the partnerships that we develop. Together we can meet
the challenges that lie ahead. We invite you to join us!

SSP Educational
Foundation Celebrates
the 25th Anniversary
of the Walk-A-Thon
4TH ANNUAL FRIENDS
OF THE FOUNDATION
CELEBRATION
The South St. Paul Educational Foundation held its
4th Annual Friends of the Foundation celebration
on Thursday, October 11th, 2012 at Southview
Country Club. Friends of the Foundation gathered
to show support for the Educational Foundation and
its efforts of enriching the lives of South St. Paul
students. Over $30,000 was raised to help support
programs for students of South St. Paul public
schools.
It has been 25 years since the
first South St. Paul Educational
Foundation 5K Run/Walk. This
year we had perfect weather and
an overwhelming amount of
participants.
So, what are the top 10 reason to
participate in the Walk-a-thon? One
of our teachers came up with these
for her class and we agree:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
The evening was filled with great food and
refreshments, and a live and silent auction. We were
please to honor all past and present school board
members and the Class of 1962 for their continued
support and dedication to the Foundation.
50% of all money raised goes directly back into the classrooms.
It funds school programs
It’s great exercise
You get to see your classmates
You get to spend time with your family
You get a hot dog dinner
You get a cool t-shirt
You get to enjoy the outdoors
You get to see your teachers
It’s FUN
The event was a huge success and we thank our
donors, guests and volunteers who participated.
Plan to join us in the annual celebration!
The South St. Paul Educational Foundation would like to thank the many donors, sponsors,
volunteers and participants who made the 25th Walkathon our most successful. Over $40,000
was raised to help support special student projects and events.

Winners Circle
Scholarship Fund
The Winners Circle scholarship was formed in
2009 by past scholarship recipients to pay it
forward. In May, the Foundation sent out an
appeal asking former scholarship recipients to
join this group and reflect on the education
that they received from South St. Paul public
schools. South St. Paul has long believed that
an investment in a child’s education was an
investment in its future. Not only has this
community believed this but is has acted on
this belief.
We would like to thank everyone who has
contributed and made The Winners Circle
Scholarship Fund possible. Our members have
increased since the beginning of this campaign
but we would like to establish this fund as a
permanent part of the scholarship program. To
do this we still need your help. For example,
if half of those who received scholarships
contributed even $10 (or more), we would raise
over $10,000 for our scholarship fund. You can
really see what can be accomplished by pulling
together. Every contribution can make an
impact in the success of our students and they
are truly grateful. Finally, as we move forward
we encourage you to “Pay it Forward” and
thank you for your generosity

Bruce Simon Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in memory of Bruce Simon by his wife (Jill Sobaski
Simon) and daughters (Anna and Meg). Bruce was a resident of South St. Paul for over
18 years and even though he didn’t grow up in South St. Paul, he called it home. Bruce
and Jill decided to raise their daughters in South St. Paul because of the reputation of the
schools. Bruce was a caring and devoted father who was involved with his children and
their activities. From the time Bruce’s daughters were in grade school through high school
he enjoyed watching and supporting them in choir, band and theater until he passed away
in 2011 after a short battle with cancer.
William
New Scholarships Established in
2012-2013
Each year new scholarship opportunities for
South St. Paul High School seniors are provided
through the generous donations of sponsoring
groups, individuals, and organizations. On behalf
of the recipients, we extend our appreciation to
those who established the following scholarships
through the Foundation in 2012-2013.
and
Thomas Sobaski Memorial Scholarship
The Thomas Sobaski scholarship was renamed to include Tom’s father Bill who passed
away recently. Bill was a 1944 graduate of South St. Paul High School. He was a lifetime
resident, longtime business owner, and active in many organizations. His kindness and
generosity were felt throughout the community. Tom, the youngest of five children, was
a 1982 graduate. He had a gently but competitive spirit and thoroughly enjoyed athletics,
hunting, fishing and the out of doors. He touched the lives of all who knew him. Both Bill
and Tom were always proud to say they were from South St. Paul, and truly believed in a
strong sense of community.
James J. Lindell, Sr. Scholarship
This scholarship was established by Jim’s daughter Lynda Voge to honor his commitment
to the South St. Paul public schools. Jim was always proud of South St. Paul schools for
their high level of academics and their athletic programs.

Sounds Heard from Dodge Nature Center:
“Moo”. . .“Baaa”. . .“Neigh”. . .and “Ooooh!”
Each spring the Kindergarten students from Kaposia and Lincoln Center study a PYP unit on animals. They discuss
animals that we keep as pets, those that live on farms, and those that live in the wild. The children are always so
excited for this unit! While children are usually quite familiar with the kinds of pets people keep in their homes,
many of the Kindergarten students have never been to a farm or seen farm animals up close. Dodge Nature Center
in West St. Paul provides a terrific opportunity for children to experience a farm, learn about the animals that live
on a farm, and discover how exactly they help us.
The SSP Educational Foundation has funded the trip from donations from the SSP Garden Club. Kindergartners
have visited Dodge Nature Center for a number of years now and it is always a greatly anticipated field trip for the
children. Kindergarten Teachers Erin Roescke (KEC) and LaVonne Francis (LC) made the request this past year on
behalf of the fourteen Kindergarten classes within the two schools. They reminded the Foundation that the children
have really enjoyed this field trip in the past and that the children remember so much more about the animals that
they have had the opportunity to see and touch. The experience helps to build background and to activate prior
knowledge. The teachers also explained that Kindergarten age students are still very concrete learners and need first
hand experiences to learn new concepts.
The trip occurred this past May and 290 Kindergarten students were able to attend! That’s a whole lot of “ooooohs”
that were heard!
Paleontologists Alerted:
Students Unearth Fossil Shark Teeth In Lincoln Center!
As part of this past spring’s Science Night at Lincoln Center, children were provided the exciting
opportunity to participate in a hands-on fossil dig right at the school! The students sifted
through sand to “discover” fossil shark teeth, then sort and identify them. Each participant could
keep two of the fossils he or she found, as a remembrance of the special learning event.
Program requester, Nancy Gerber, informed the Foundation that the Science Night has been held
the last two years and the interest keeps growing. Last year’s attendance was over 500 students,
and more than 600 students were expected to attend this year.
The goal of the fossil dig is to spark students’ interests in paleontology, using methods similar
to those used in the field. Science Night, in general, is meant to generate excitement for STEM
(Science-Technology-Engineering-Math) Education. Throughout SSP there is an aim to introduce
stronger emphasis on STEM in our schools. The dig, along with the other STEM stations that
were set up that evening covered many areas of science and technology that would be of interest
to students ranging between K-6 levels.

Youth LEGO League Inspires High School
Robotics Team
1st Grade Students Advise Red Riding Hood:
Walk with a Buddy
Avid readers of last year’s SSP Educational Foundation Annual
Report may recall that during the 2011-12 school year the
Foundation sponsored a program request to start a LEGO League
for students at Lincoln Center and Kaposia Education Center.
The success of that project was outstanding and it inspired the
creation of a robotics team for the older students! Just a short
year after the LEGO League began, the Foundation received
a program request for funding to offer a robotics team at the
high school beginning in the 2012-2013 school year. The
financial support needed was to help with the start-up costs to
purchase a robotics team packet and join the “For Inspiration
and Recognition of Science and Technology” (aka FIRST) League.
The Robotics League falls right in alignment with existing
International
Baccalaureate
programming.
Last December, 150 first
graders from Kaposia
Education Center
had the wonderful
opportunity to travel
to the Old Log Theater
in Excelsior to watch
the play Little Red
Riding Hood. Kaposia
instructor Paulette
Spafford made a
program request to the
Foundation. Spafford
explained that the play would fit in with the PYP Unit of Inquiry
called “How We Express Ourselves”. She wrote in her request:
“Students will watch and interact with a real play and make
connections to the English Language Arts standards that address ‘I
Can’ statements.”
The first graders attended the play and both the students and their
parents found it to be an incredibly positive experience. However,
some families were affected by the cost of the ticket price. Thanks
to you—our Foundation supporters—$500 was given to subsidize
the trip so that all of the students could attend, with no financial
hardship.
Chad Sexauer,
who made
the program
request,
explained that
the Activities
Department
goal is to allow
SSP students
an opportunity
to learn and compete in the fields of science and technology
and that robotics just happens to be the vehicle to make that
happen. At the time of the initial request, Sexauer noted, “The
competitive robotics movement is continuing to grow throughout
the state and nation. Thanks to you! SSP is now competing in
the Robotics League!
This winter, the “Iron Bulls” finished in 10th place for their
first official competition at the 10,000 Lake Regional held at
the University of Minnesota. This was just the start. With more
than 170 teams competing in the state of Minnesota, the Packers
finished 41st for the season. The team is excited to grow and
looks forward to new challenges in 2014.

Excellence Funds
Endowed Funds provide the
opportunity to recognize
specific interests through
designated named endowed
funds. These funds - often
named to recognize donors,
teachers, classmates or family
- may be established with gifts
of $25,000 or more to provide
permanent annual support
for programs and special
curriculum enhancements in
South St. Paul Public Schools.
Gifts of any size may be added
at any time to established
funds. Permanent endowed
funds keep on giving year
after year because the gift is
invested by the Foundation
to provide perpetual funding.
To learn more, contact the
Foundation office at
651-457-9440.
