Heads up, parents and guardians in Saint Paul – with the kids getting a break from the classroom, the city has got your back with some engaging activities to ensure they stay busy and fed. On January 20 and 21, while Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) transitions to virtual learning, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation is stepping up to provide free, drop-in programming for the youngsters and teens of the community, according to the Saint Paul Parks and Recreation.
In a bid to keep kids engaged, the programming spans various recreation centers across the city, including Frogtown, North End, North Dale, Jimmy Lee/Oxford, Arlington Hills, Highland Park, and Battle Creek. As per an announcement on the Parks and Recreation's Facebook page, the activities are as varied as they are entertaining, with gym games, arts & crafts, a dedicated teen room, cooking classes, movies, and more lined up. The social media post promises that all programming is free, drop-in, and includes lunch – a trifecta of awesomeness for any parent looking to quickly arrange childcare.
For those interested in the full scope of the No School Day offerings, further details can be unearthed at the Saint Paul Parks and Recreation's official website.
