Carnival 2020 a Great Success!
Thank you to all the families who attended the carnival last weekend. The annual carnival is a fun community building event and a great way to support Parent Group's fundraising initiatives! A thank you to the volunteers who planned, organized and helped during the event.

A special shout out to the nearly 30 Upper School students who volunteered. Nearly all stayed and helped for the entire event, including take-down -- much more than the 2.5 hour shifts we asked of them! Seeing Upper School students interact with the Lower School students was a highlight of the carnival. We all agree it's one of the 'things' that makes our school community so special!

Calling EVERY family to STEP UP!
As of 8:00 pm Wednesday evening, our student athletes have called on every St. Croix Prep family to donate to our campaign. Thank you athletes!

Now let's show our students the value we place on the St. Croix Prep experience by donating today. Please take action. Every donation counts. 
Please note that fundraising campaigns are necessary at St. Croix Prep, because St. Croix Prep is not funded at the same level as our resident school district. St. Croix Prep does not receive any portion of the local tax levy, which equates to approximately $1500 per student per year.  
Save the Date!
Please join us on Saturday, April 4, 2020 for a memorable evening supporting arts and athletics at St. Croix Prep. The Gala will be held at the St. Croix Prep Auxiliary Gym at 7:00 pm.

If you are interested in donating a silent or live auction item or being an event sponsor, please email Heather Thorson.

Health and Emergency Preparedness/ALiCE
The "L" in the ALiCE acronym is for (Enhanced) Lockdown. This is not a traditional lockdown (lock door and huddle). The Enhanced Lockdown will include locking the door but also barricading to deny entry using available items, preparing to counter and looking for an alternative exit for evacuation.   

If you have any questions, please contact:
  • Dustin Vincent, Middle School PE teacher, Health and Emergency Preparedness Co-Director
  • Candace Westlund, Licensed School nurse, Health and Emergency Preparedness Co-Director
