Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Dear Kingfield, how do we love you? Let us count the ways!—

It’s Give to Max Day Thursday November 14, so we Ask that You Consider Donating to KFNA, Your Most Local Nonprofit!

There are so many things to love about Kingfield…a great park, a hopping weekly market, delicious homegrown food cooked up by local restaurant owners, plus (and here is where KFNA comes in!) a jumble of engaging and creative events, meetings, and activities designed to keep you informed and get you engaged with your community.

 

And this “community” isn’t something that just happens, it is something that Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA), your local nonprofit, works really hard to create. Why? Because we believe that now, more than ever, taking time to grow connections and foster community can make a foundational change to not only our neighborhood but also in our city and country.  Also, by building a welcoming, inclusive, open and caring community we will have a positive impact on our current and future neighbors.

Learn more about what KFNA does and consider making a donation to your local nonprofit organization here.  Thank you!

MPS Comprehensive District Design Survey

MPS Comprehensive District Design Survey

Understanding the values of the Minneapolis Public Schools community is vital to creating the best possible Comprehensive District Design. We invite anyone who has students enrolled at our MPS schools to complete a survey that focuses on the student placement process. The deadline to complete the survey is October 7th. 

MPS is also engaging with other key stakeholders, including students, teachers, and school leaders to understand how they navigate the student placement or student request process. This project is one way we are digging deep to better understand our systems and structures as we create a Comprehensive District Design. The information gathered from this project will be shared at the November 26th Board of Education meeting.

Stay tuned as there will be other opportunities to engage in conversations about the Comprehensive District Design process this fall. Broader input on Comprehensive Design elements will become available in October and throughout the school year.

Due to a forecast including likely rain and thunderstorms throughout virtually all of today we will be going with our RAIN PLAN! Join us at Sabathani Community Center, 2nd floor, 310 E 38th Street, located 1 block east of the bridge on 38th St.

Don’t fret, other than a change of locale the event will be just as lively and engaging as it was last year! And all the food vendors are still on board so get excited for a cross cultural feast from local restaurants, eateries, and grocers that is delicious and abundant as well as appropriate from vegan to carnivore and considerate of various allergies and dietary concerns.
