September 2009, the coalition starts off the year with new MEDIA!


This fall the coalition will be sharing new media items in both the schools and the community.
Watch for one of our new colorful fun fact posters or a Great Job SSP Parents version. We will also be distributing stress balls, water bottles, screen savers and program information at athletic events, community events and school functions.
All of our media will share the true norms of South St. Paul. We share the goodness of this community, South St. Paul, a GREAT place to work and play!
