Dear Saint Paul School Community,
On Monday Saint Paul School released its tuition announcement for the 2022-2023 school year. We continue to strive to offer an affordable Catholic education to over 13 towns on the South Shore. The tuition increase for preschool and prekindergarten, is down 2.68% from the current school year while the tuition increase for Kindergarten through Grade 8, is down 1.96% from the current school year.
Eligible Grade 4-5 students should have received an invitation in the mail to apply for the National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) this week. Students were identified based on 88% or higher in all courses and good conduct/effort they have earned on Term 1 and 2 report cards. To continue the selection process for becoming a member of NEHS, students need to complete a form showing where and how they have demonstrated being a responsible student, child, or citizen. This includes responsibility through leadership positions, service activities, recognition, and at home with family. A committee of teachers led by Advisor Mrs. Monique Melcher, will review the information they provide and determine whether or not he/she will be invited to become a member of the chapter.
HELP WANTED:
· We are looking for a volunteer the week of June 27 (Monday-Thursday 9 am – 1 pm) to
oversee the Boys Basketball Camp.
· Do you know someone that can teach our music program on Monday and Thursday?
I have posted to School Spring and Young World has not had any luck. Please have
potential prospects reach out to me directly.
This week’s school spirit day raised over $500 and the sale of blue & yellow sunflower pins created by Mrs. Bruno collected $45. These efforts bring our total to $1200 raised so far this month for the Ukraine Relief Fund. For $1.00, Tuesday, March 29 is crazy hair day!
THANK YOU to Mr. and Mrs. Gontarz, grandparents to the Hume students, for the Rhode Island luncheon on Monday. Also, thank you to Mrs. LaGrotteria and Mrs. Melcher for the Faculty Prayer Service on Wednesday.
TRAVELING … Domestic (out of state) and/or International … regardless of vaccination status please complete the following link. If your child is vaccinated, we must have proof on file in the Health Office. https://forms.gle/dcMNcWPBSdCfz4h38

I am a Girl Scout Cadette in Hingham Girl Scout Troop #62297, and I am working on my Silver Award Project, which aims to help build literacy skills for the classroom. The project includes three main components.
1. Visit a Kindergarten classroom in South Boston ( James F. Condon K-8 School) and read books to the students
2. Provide two or more new literacy centers for the Kindergarten classroom.
3. Provide books to expand the Kindergarten classroom library and provide students with books to take home and read with their families.
If interested, people can contribute to this project by donating gently used or new books. Books can range from Level 1 easy readers up to Harry Potter type books for students to enjoy with their families. A collection bin will be located outside of the office from March 21 - March 28.
Thank you,
Mary Slankas
