The Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood (SPPN) is a community-wide initiative to provide the academic and social supports children need to succeed in school and in life. The neighborhood is a 250-square block area in the heart of St. Paul’s historic Frogtown and Summit-University neighborhoods. Nearly 80 percent of SPPN’s residents are of color – with African American and Hmong making up the largest groups, but also including African immigrants, Latinos, and others. SPPN is a coordinated effort of a coalition of nine anchor partners, including the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation,and more than 70 additional agencies. Within McKnight’s Education & Learning program, Wilder received project funding to support SPPN.
SPPN已经开发了一系列解决方案和周边基础设施,所有儿童都经过验证,重视,以文化为资产开发,并最终取得成功。
SPPN已经实施了儿童防卫基金(CDF)自由学校学校,以防止学生的夏季学习损失。在夏季的六个星期里,超过180名儿童参加了汉普比的SPPN自由学校。 Harambee是一个斯瓦希里语,意思是“所有人齐心协力”,这正是学生们每天早上做的事情,因为学校聚集在一起,大声,喧闹,快乐地“蜷缩”,为他们的一天做准备。早上蜷缩在一起后,学生们会在下午阅读活动并进行文化丰富活动。家长们还通过每周一次的晚宴和家长赋权研讨会参与其中,这使他们彼此保持联系,并随时了解学校的最新动态。
