Community Voices “What should be the name of our school?”

Our Feb 28th Community Voices “What should be the name of our school?” event is fast approaching and we now have five finalist possible new names for Ramsey Middle School to discuss that evening.

The finalist possible new names for Ramsey are (in no particular order): 
Dorothy Vaughan Middle School
Justice Alan Page Middle School
Bde Ota Middle School
Prince Rogers Nelson Middle School
Martha Ripley Middle School

For more information about each finalist name go here.

To indicate your preferences around our new name ideas, please take this survey.

To donate to our campaign to help fund new signage and a new logo go here (Minneapolis Public Schools Name Change Policy states that we must have the funding for new signage to pursue a name change).

Finally, George and the Dragon Restaurant is hosting a delicious brunch fundraiser for our Rename Ramsey Campaign on Sunday Feb 26th from 9:30-1pm. Please call the restaurant and talk to Fred or Stacy about making a reservation asap! Seats are filling fast! 612-208-1047

Kingfield Neighborhood Association Annual POTLUCK and Board Election

The annual KFNA board elections are approaching, and on Wednesday, February 22nd, nominations for board members will be taken from the floor at the meeting. Come take a chance that what is available will be good and acceptable! For more information in the weeks leading up to this meeting, please contact KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson at or 612.823.5980.

Some folks have already decided they want to run for the board of Directors: read their Bios at the FB event page. Also, all Kingfield neighbors will be asked to vote on amending the KFNA by-laws, but most importantly, the KFNA annual meeting is a time for neighbors to come together and celebrate Kingfield!

Please bring a dish to share! The Aliveness Project is handicapped accessible, and kids are welcome!

Kingfield Empty Bowls: This is What Community Looks Like!

Let us know you are coming (so we can bake enough cake!) Visit, Join, and Share the Facebook Event!

On Thursday, February 9th, Kingfield will host the sixth annual Kingfield Empty Bowls! Empty Bowls is a single day event that combines art, food, local businesses, nonprofits, and lots and lots of neighbors raising awareness and funds to combat hunger in our neighborhood. Your support of this project will again benefit Nicollet Square, a project of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, an organization that provides affordable housing and a supportive environment for young adults who have experienced homelessness or have been in the foster care system. Last year we were able to donate over $10,000 to Nicollet Square through this single evening event! [Read more…]

Town Hall Meeting/Legislative Update with Rep. Allen & Sen. Hayden (62-B)

Dear Kingfield Neighbors,

Join Rep. Susan Allen, Senator Jeff Hayden and Rep. Karen Clark for a Town Hall Meeting. The 2017 legislative session began on January 3rd, with Republicans now in control of both chambers. Please join them to ask questions and gain insights and help them organize for the issues you care about, as well as other issues likely to arise.

It is important for them to hear directly from you, and it helps guide their decisions at the State Capitol.

Coffee and juice will be served, and attendees are welcome to come and go as you please.Â
