Lewis sports foundation Partnership
Conservancy’s Role
On October 15, 2013, the Saint Paul Parks Conservancy received a grant from the NFL/NFLPA Research and Education Foundation, Inc. in the amount of $32,715 for the Lewis Sports Foundation camp.
Program Concept & Goals
The Lewis Sport Foundation and Athletic Services, LLC conducts a series of sports teaching and learning formats for Saint Paul Parks Conservancy. The activities focus on the total development of student athletes by offering physical skills training and leadership training for male and female students in St. Paul and the surrounding areas.
Our teaching and learning formats are open to any and all ability levels. Participants train with qualified coaches and mentors on the field to advance their sports skills and participate in group sessions that further develop their leadership and life development skills. Various sports are considered as learning environments. The sports include football, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse and basketball.
The goal of the program is to enhance the pursuit of physical activity, life-long learning, cooperation and education through instruction focused on advancing athletic and cognitive skills.

Today's Monday Park Museum feature is "Meditation" in Phalen Park by Lei Yixin from Changsha, China. Lei was later selected as the sculptor of the Martin Luther King, Jr Memorial in Washington, DC. This gorgeous, contemplative work, accented by the water and a nearby willow tree, has been a place for affirmation, reflection and support for Saint Paulites of Asian descent and their allies. #lovesaintpaulparks #saintpaulparkart
Those who know Swede Hollow Park are well acquainted with its natural beauty. Thank you Friends of Swede Hollow for sharing these beautiful photographs!

Read (or write!) a poem today. When you walk around Saint Paul sidewalks, you may see poems in the pavement. You can submit a poem to be considered for this year's Sidewalk Poetry by April 25. www.stpaul.gov/departments/public-works/sidewalks/sidewalk-poetry
Here's some floral sunshine for a rainy week!
