"Confident. Prepared. Excited."
To our community:
The Class of 2026 has walked, diploma in hand, across the Commencement stage and into their future. More than anything else, we want each of them to feel confident, prepared and excited for what comes next.
In this issue of SLP Experience, several members of the graduating class share memories and plans. Again and again they talk about the benefits of all the opportunities they’ve had and taken advantage of while at SLP. All these opportunities – from activities to classes to career exploration and college credit – help students feel confident, prepared, and excited.
The graduates shared stories of learning experiences that have stuck with them and that they will carry into the future. They spoke to engaging, relevant and applicable learning that carries well beyond their time with us.
The variety of opportunities we are able to provide is only possible with the support of our community. We never take that support for granted. Each day, we are working to earn your trust and to partner together to prepare our community’s young people for their next steps. Through our work together, we can feel confident, prepared and excited for our community’s future.

A Special(ist) Approach to Elementary Science
Fourth graders are experimenting with pinwheel turbines during science. They are testing two methods to generate energy, wind power and hydropower. They hypothesize, then work in small groups through timed experiments. There’s wind, there’s water and it’s all a little noisy – and maybe a little messy. Judging from the smiles, it’s also pretty fun. Last summer, the science competencies were refined giving more focus to “minds on, hands on” science learning.

When Math Feels Like Play, Learning Adds Up
Second graders are sprawled on the floor in pairs. Some groups are working with small buckets of shapes – hexagons, trapezoids, rhombuses. Some groups have plastic coins and cards. Some have spinners. There is an air of fun and competitive excitement. Math work places are hands-on, engaging, and often game-based math stations used in K-5 classrooms to practice skills, develop conceptual understanding, and foster fluency. They are a part of the Bridges curricular resource that Spring Lake Park Schools’ elementary classrooms use for math.
