The smoke outside is hazardous and can negatively impact everyone, especially those most vulnerable like our Elders and children. The center is open today and is intended to be a safe communal space, but we ask folks to please protect yourself and your relatives by taking precautions, such as:

🏠 Staying indoors if possible.
😷 Wearing a well-fitted N95 mask if you do go out.
🍃 Setting your home and vehicle air conditionings to recirculate, rather than bring in air from outside.
🏋️‍♀️ Avoiding outdoor work, exercise, or strenuous activity. Our Fitness Center is open today from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. if needed.
❤ Checking on Elders, neighbors, pets, and anyone who may need assistance.
💧 Drinking lots of water and staying hydrated.

The Air Quality Alert remains in effect through 11:00 a.m. tomorrow, Friday, July 17, though we encourage people to monitor the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency forecast for updates.

Please stay safe! ❤

May is American Indian Month in Minnesota. PACER recognizes their heritage, culture, and contributions, and supports their families of children with disabilities through workshops, resources, and individual assistance from our parent advocates.

This month, American Indian families and caregivers are invited to join a virtual and in-person community story circle that will explore how the stories we hear about schools, families, and special education shape what we expect and how we show up for our children. Participants will leave with questions to carry with them into everyday moments like Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, classroom conversations, and communicating our children’s strengths and needs. This event is in partnership with the Saint Paul Public School Indian Education Program. Dinner will be provided for in-person attendees.
