THE SAINT PAUL PROMISE NEIGHBORHOOD (SPPN) is an education
partnership that brings together families, schools, and the community to change the odds
for children in the Frogtown, Rondo, and Summit-University neighborhoods of St. Paul.
YOUR CHILD’S GUIDE TO SUMMER
LEARNING & FUN!
Last year, more than 750 Promise Neighborhood children created science
projects, made films, and read many books at various SPPN partner
programs! The result? An astounding 95% of children in SPPN summer
partner programs prevented the summer learning loss! We are pleased to
support several high quality programs this summer to keep our children
engaged in learning and get ahead in school and life:
Saint Paul Public Schools’ CDF Freedom School
Freedom school provides enriching group activities including field trips, and
culturally appropriate materials. The program strives to help young children
gain a sense of their own history, African- American culture and identity, and
improve children’s academic skills.
