Support Learning & Connection at Hamline

The goal of the Hamline Elementary PTA  is to do what we can to make Hamline a place that works well for students, families, and staff - a place alive with learning and full of good vibes. We try to create opportunities for our community to learn and have fun together, create pathways to give and receive support, and fund as many things as we can on a modest budget. Your donation supports educational and enrichment opportunities and allows our community to create an engaging, nurturing, and uplifting environment. Your donation supports:

• monthly community meals and family night activities
• youth leadership opportunities at school and in the community
• continued improvements to our gardens including repairing a trellis, planters, and garden sign
• completing our outdoor classroom & continuing to create beautiful, sustainable inquiry & meditative gardens
• purchase of classroom supplies for teachers
• K-5 field trips & residencies
• adding more culturally relevant, high-interest books to our library

Our Story

Hamline Elementary is a PreK-5 full-service community school in the heart of the vibrant Midway neighborhood in St. Paul. Just south of the State Fairgrounds and north of the new home of Minnesota United FC, Hamline is nestled in a bustling residential neighborhood which is home to dozens of unique small businesses, organizations, and a community of active neighbors. Our many community partnerships, including our decades-long collaboration with Hamline University, as well as our experienced, talented, and spirited staff ensure all students are well-taught and well-cared for. The community at Hamline Elementary is racially, culturally, and economically diverse, creating rich and beautiful opportunities for learning and friendship. We are a small and growing school that has been built by community and fueled by love; our strength is in our partnerships with community organizations and neighbors who invest in our school and provide meaningful connections for our students and families.  We are seeking to improve access and remove barriers to learning and engagement in our school and community; we are also providing pathways to services and resources that support families. Your donation helps us do all of these things. Your donation helps build something awesome.

Big love,

The Hamline Elementary PTA
