Students at the American Indian Magnet School held an indoor parade on Indigenous Peoples Day on Oct. 8, 2018. Last week, St. Paul school board approved a $53.3 million renovation of the East Side school.

Parents and staff members long have dreamed of a renovated American Indian Magnet School in St. Paul, and they helped plan for it, too, creating models by putting blocks over blueprints of the East Side school.

Designs were drawn up featuring state-of-the-art science labs, a redesigned circular commons area that could accommodate powwows and a studio to be used for the teaching of Native languages.
