Lake Country School Renovation Starting February 2021

By

Lake Country School, located on Pleasant Avenue and 38th Street, will begin their renovation project with the decommissioning of the current front entrance and stairwell to make room for additional program, meeting, and gathering space for the LCS community. There will be an addition to the front of the building that will provide a welcoming and more secure entrance, a third-floor industrial technology design lab, a staff room, offices, a student health area, a reconfigured cafeteria, new elevator, and more.

The project expands the support of current programming and administrative areas. Once the project is complete, there will be no change in enrollment or permanent impact to our parking lot space.

Please visit lcsconstruction.org in the coming weeks. Information will be posted soon, including weekly project updates and a construction calendar, as well as general details about the project. We’d like to thank all our neighbors for their continued support and understanding as we begin these exciting developments for our school.

Sincerely,

Lake Country School [Read more…]

 JUDSON Church and Preschool go SOLAR

By

In mid-December workers began installing a solar system at Judson Memorial Baptist Church at 41st & Harriet. Solar panels are being installed on the flat roof of the Judson Preschool building followed by panels on the south-facing sloped roof of the 106 year old church building. The 55 kwh system will provide half of the buildings’ power needs with solar electric fed back into Xcel’s grid in summer months.

We are not a “homeowners association” or a membership organization. Everyone in Kingfield belongs to KFNA. Our work is often low visibility, behind the scenes, and focused on supporting community members. In these uncertain times this support is critical.  Yet the reality is that the city of Minneapolis is facing significant budget pressures and KFNA’s financial support will be cut significantly over the next several years. To continue to exist in our current capacity, we need donations and engagement from you, as neighbors and stakeholders.

Please consider a financial donation to allow KFNA to continue to be an active community builder and voice at the table.  Every dollar helps. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.

Conversations with the Minneapolis Public Schools’ At-Large Candidates

By

Hosted by KFNA President Chris DesRoches

Have a question for Kim Ellison or Michael Dueñes, the two individuals running for the Minneapolis School Board at-large seat? Ask it here and KFNA will sort and categorize them, and ask each candidate some of these in our upcoming conversation with candidates.

Want to ask them your question yourself? Depending on how many people want to do this, we are willing to try and figure out how to create a setting and the technology to allow you to address the candidates directly–just let us know if you are interested in this when you submit your question.

Conversations will be recorded on October 26th and shared via the Kingfield, Tangletown, and Lyndale neighborhood association websites on Tuesday October 27th. Please submit your questions by noon, Sunday October 25th.
