Dear Families,
Road construction
onstruction has started on 36th Ave – the playground side of the school. Highcrest Road
and the sidewalk on Highcrest may be closed at times which may
ma inconvenience
our buses or families as you drive near school. Please remind your child to cross
the street at intersections - not mid-block
mid
- and to be especially watchful
around large construction equipment as drivers may not be able see around it.
The large construction
onstruction equipment is extremely appealing to kids; for their
own safety, they should not be climbing on construction equipment parked
near school on evenings and weekends. There have also been concerns from neighbors that kids
are climbing the fence
ence near the playground on 36th Avenue and getting caught by their clothing.
Please ask your kids to take the extra time to access the playground by walking to an opening.
Dr. Corneille,, St. Anthony Middle School Principal, will be doing a testing presentation
prese
at the
May 5th School Board meeting. She will cover all of the standardized tests we give in the
district, the grade levels in which they are given and how we use the information we obtain from
them. The Board Meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. at the St. Anthony Community Center if you are
interested in attending or watching on cable TV.

Farewell From Our Retirees:
From Susan Boatman, ACHIEVE Program
Thank you, Wilshire Park parents, for sharing your creative thinkers with me as
I culminate a teaching career of 36 action-filled years. For the past nine years
Wilshire Park has been my home and focus through the ACHIEVE program. I
have enjoyed meeting you and working with your students through creative
thinking classes, intellectual units, math leagues, the Creativity Fair,
Destination Imagination, summer programs and other learning opportunities.
Now in retirement, I too, plan to have my own ideas and be creative!
Gardening and cycling, children and grandchildren, travel and adventure already plot the new
lesson plan. However, as always, I leave a few hopeful blank spaces for surprises. Nine years
ago, Wilshire Park pandas, proved to be the "wonderful new surprise." Thank you for being a
part of my journey!
From Donna Eastman, Grade 5 Teacher
I have spent my entire teaching career in St. Anthony/New Brighton. I started
here right out of college. There were three elementary schools in the district at
that time, and I taught in all three of them. I taught 4th grade for two years and
5th grade for three years at Park View Elementary. Park View closed in 1975.
Our students were sent to Wilshire Park and our staff was split between
Wilshire Park and Silver Oak. I taught 4th grade at Silver Oak for four years
until that school also closed. I then moved to Wilshire Park, where I taught 4th
grade for four years and 3rd grade for one year. I took a 5 year leave of absence and returned in
1989. Since returning from leave, I have taught 5th grade now for 25 years. I watched this
community's determination to continue being an independent district through the years of
dwindling population, and then become a district that had to make decisions to add on to their
building as enrollment increased. There has always been a strong feeling of pride of the schools
by both the community and the staff. This has provided a great environment for the students and
for me as a teacher. The strong parent involvement has added to this great environment.
Through all these years, I have worked with some amazing students, parents and colleagues.
I am looking forward to not setting an alarm every morning or spending so much time in rush
hour traffic. I am anticipating new adventures in the next stage of my life. However, I will miss
interacting with wonderful people on a daily basis. I want to thank the students and parents for
wonderful memories and allowing me to be a part of this community of learners.
From Shari Kopesky, Grade 4 Teacher
When I came to St. Anthony/New Brighton School District, there were three
elementary schools. I started teaching fourth grade at Silver Oak Elementary
School. In 1979, Silver Oak Elementary School closed due to declining
enrollment. My next teaching assignment was at Wilshire Park
Elementary School. I have been teaching fourth grade at Wilshire Park except
for one year that I taught third grade. It has been a wonderful experience for me
to be a part of this school district. I am grateful for the opportunity to work
with so many fantastic students, families, and colleagues. I will always treasure these memories.
I am looking forward to many new adventures as I begin the next stage of my life.

From Dolly Smyth, Music Specialist
I have been teaching music at Wilshire Park for 36 years. Because this is my
passion, I have thoroughly enjoyed about helping students to read music, sing,
play instruments, listen and move to music and express themselves through
creating music. I am deeply inspired as I have watched students recognize their
musical talents, develop self-confidence and leadership skills through plays,
concerts, recorder playing, conducting, dancing and so many daily activities!
I look forward to spending more time with my four grandchildren, playing
tennis, golf and traveling. I feel so fortunate to have served this community and I have felt the
support of students, parents and staff. As the song goes….”I’ve had the time of my life, and I
owe it all to you!” Thank you so much for the privilege of sharing music with all of you!

Fourth/Fifth Grade Program on Thursday, April 30th
Author Michael Northrup is coming to Wilshire Park Elementary on Thursday, April 30th from
12:30 to 1:30 p.m. to speak to our fourth and fifth graders about his newest adventure,
TOMBQUEST: AMULET KEEPERS!
• About TOMBQUEST: From the team that brought you The 39 Clues and Spirit
Animals comes a brand new epic Egyptian adventure! When Alex's mother uses the
Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead to bring him back from the brink of death, she
inadvertently summons a slew of other spirits from the underworld.
•
•
About Michael Northrup: Michael Northrop brings his love of Egyptian history, his
explosive adventure writing, and his dynamic personality to TombQuest. His other books
include Trapped, an Indie Next List selection, and Plunked, a New York Public Library
best book of the year and an NPR Backseat Book Club selection. When he’s not
researching mummies, Michael writes full-time from his home in New York City.
Advance Sale Book Fliers will be sent home with the fourth and fifth graders next week.
Books must be ordered in advance and the form needs to be returned by Tuesday, April
21. Michael Northrop will autograph the pre-sale books that are ordered.
The 2015-16 School District Calendar was approved at the January 6, 2015 School
Board Meeting. Click here for the 2015-16 school district calendar.
Classroom Placements for 2015-16
Teachers are beginning to work on making student placements for classes next year. If you would
like to provide input on your child’s placement for next year, you may request a Student Placement
Form from the school office. We can send you a paper copy or email you a pdf. This is an
opportunity to give your child’s teacher feedback about the environment that would suit your child
best. Requests for a specific teacher will not be considered. Forms are due in the school office no
later than Friday, May 1st. You will be notified in mid-August of your child’s classroom placement
for the 2015-16 school year.
Are You Planning to Move?
If your child will not be attending Wilshire Park School next year, (or in the case of fifth graders,
St. Anthony Middle School), please let us know. It is helpful for our planning and as we order
materials. We will prepare your child’s records to forward on to his or her new school. Thanks
for your help!
Safety Hazard: Highcrest Road as Drop-Off/Pick-up Location
Please do NOT drop your child off for school on Highcrest Road in front of school or use
Highcrest Road as a pickup after school unless you have parked your car in a safe location
located southeast from the building on the east side of the street. We are concerned for the safety
of students being dropped off on either side of Highcrest directly across from the school with
cars stopping and children crossing. Please use the parking lot, Elmwood church or 36th Ave
(alongside the playground) for student drop-off.

Earth Week Update from the Wilshire Park Ecology Club
This week, the Ecology Club sponsored a week-long celebration to
raise awareness about what students can do to keep our environment
healthy. In addition to student activities, we are also launching a NoIdle campaign in the school parking lot.
Children are more vulnerable to the impact of vehicle pollution than
adults:
• Their lungs are still in the development phase.
• They breathe, on average, 50 percent more air per pound of body weight than adults.
• They are closer to the ground, and therefore, closer to the exhaust from vehicle tailpipes.
Parents who drive students to and from school: Please help us protect our
students and our environment by limiting the amount of time you allow your car to
idle (motor running) while you wait. Here is a guideline we ask you to follow:
1. When waiting for students to be picked up, all engines should be shut off.
2. All drivers should turn off engines as soon as they arrive at school or when
they expect to be parked for more than 30 seconds.
3. If idling is necessary for temperature control (keeping the car warm in the winter), please
restrict it to no more than 5 minutes.
Thanks for helping us Celebrate Earth Day Every Day!
