In collaboration with community partners, the Global Arts Plus Parent Teacher Association (GAP PTA) is hosting a school carnival on June 1, 2023 from 5:30-8:00pm that will support student success through family involvement and celebration.

Global Arts Plus PreK-8, a part of Saint Paul Public Schools and formerly known as Linwood Monroe, offers a truly unique educational setting in the Twin Cities area. Spanning two campuses, Global Arts Plus provides arts-infused curriculum for children PreK through grade 8. With a enrollment of 890 students in the 2022-2023 school year, the diversity of the school represents our global community:

GAP students identify as Caucasian American (31%), African American (27%), Asian American (20%), Hispanic American (16%), and American Indian (1%);
62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch;
36% of students are English Language Learners;
18% use special education services.

As a valued local business and community leader, we are writing to ask for your support providing a raffle prize for our carnival raffle. To donate, please fill out our Raffle Donation Form online by Friday, May 19th at bit.ly/gap-raffle

Your donation of goods, services, or admission will help ensure that our carnival connects our students and their families to meaningful local experiences and businesses.
