Faculty and Staff- Christmas Gift Giving
It is that time of year for faculty and staff gift giving! We wanted to provide several suggestions to our Saints families when gifting our staff. Monetary gifts may be turned into the front office in an envelope labeled “Faculty and Staff Christmas Gifts”. A suggested amount of $10 per teacher is a great contribution for the gift cards purchased with these collective funds. For families wishing to give an actual gift, we have a book in the front office that describes teacher “favorites” to inspire those wishing to shop. The book may be viewed during normal office hours. Thank you for remembering our faculty and staff this Christmas.

StJPII is SO excited to share that we have booked nationally acclaimed speaker, Brooks Gibbs to present to our parents and to our students in late February of 2020. Mr. Gibbs is a social skills educator and focuses on strategies for resolving conflict as well as on emotional resilience. He has presented at 2500+ school assemblies and offers games as well as training videos for parents & teachers looking for support in these areas. We hope you check out what he does so we can have a great turn out when he comes! Here is a sample video ... the intro is a little slow but once you see Mr. Gibbs, you'll know he is worth the wait.
