East African Elementary Magnet School

🌙 Appreciation Iftaar for Our Staff & Volunteers 🌙
We recently gathered for a special appreciation iftaar to honor our incredible staff, volunteers, and our partners at the East Side Learning Center. We are truly grateful for everyone who works tirelessly to keep our students safe during arrival, recess, and dismissal—and for all who support learning every day.
Thank you for your dedication, your time, and your heart. Our community is stronger because of you. 💛✨

Congratulations Mr. Ibrahim Hussein! We are so proud of you! @ Ibrahim Nakhaci

We are so grateful to Dr. Koray Sekeroglu and the team at CPC Worldwide for their generous donation of science materials to our East African staff and students. These resources will help bring learning to life in exciting new ways for our classrooms. Your kindness and support mean so much to our school community. Thank you for investing in our students’ futures!

Join Us for Open House!
Parents, we're so excited to welcome you to our Open House this Thursday, September 28th, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet your child's teachers, see their classroom, and learn more about what they'll be doing this school year. It's the perfect time to ask questions and connect with our staff.
We can't wait to see you there!

The staff played hard today but alas, the students were victorious in the second annual staff v. student last week of school soccer game. It is now 1-1. Students, see you on the field in 2026!

Today is the last day of school! Looking for a fun way to start summer break? Check out the Saint Paul Parks and Recreation 2025 Summer Family Kick Off this Friday from 2 - 5 p.m. at the West Minnehaha Rec Center.

The staff v. student soccer game has been reschedule for tomorrow, Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.

We appreciate how much our students love to read and hope they will continue to read over the summer. Tomorrow is the last day of school. Families, if you have school library books at home, please send them back to school with your students. Waalidka fadlan guryaha baadha oo iskuulka ku soo celiya buugaagta maktabadda.
