Overview
Mission
To provide support to the students, parents, teachers and administrators of l'etoile du nord french immersion, an elementary school in the st. Paul public school system.
What it reported doing in 2024
The l'etoile du nord parent teacher organization had a busy and productive fiscal year. We were able to organize and fully fund our native french speaking teaching intern program, bringing four interns to l'etoile du nord. We also held several all-school events including the fall "carnaval des citrouilles and the spring "kermesse" festivals. We organized and sponsored a monthly open gym for students. We organized two book fairs, as well as multiple teacher appreciation meals. In addition, we sold and distributed spirit gear and held our annual campus beautification event. We held several important fundraisers, including a direct donation campaign and a glow run. We supported the school celebration of national african american parent involvement day and sponsored a dance residency with afoutayi. Our dedicated team of volunteers worked very hard this year to enrich our school and student learning.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
