Hamline Midway ELC is excited to start its first event this year, a bag drive to support Keystone Community Services’ food pantry. Members are collecting paper, plastic and reusable bags and dropping them off at our donation site, Hamline Midway Library, through November 21. We are only one week into the drive and already have hundreds of bags!

Members will also be present at a Trunk or Treat event on October 28 that we are holding in partnership with The Learning Garden (Hamline.)

Hamline Midway ELC was present at the Hamline Midway Library for their Math and Science Day event on August 5th. Activities included coding robots, coding games, constructing a sailboat, building a fort and building a mini catapult to launch pompoms. Families enjoyed interacting with the experiences all day. Looking forward to the next Math and Science day!

We will have a few organizations joining our September meeting, which will take place on September 15 at 12:30 on Google Meets. We will take time to get to know one another and our organizations that do amazing things within our Hamline Midway community.

Planning is underway for our offering at the Math and Science Day and we are super excited! 

Families who filled out our survey showed a preference for participating in a Collaborative Art Project. One submission suggested that we add a science focus to our planning, so we'll do both at the upcoming Math and Science Day at the Hamline branch of the Saint Paul Public Library on August 6, 2022.  

Join us that day to check it out and contribute to the art project! 

More details to come!
