Dear St. Patrick School Family,
Turn around and just like that the first quarter as come to an end! I think I would have to say the year started off a bit bumpy, but as the days and weeks passed, it got better and now we are rolling right along! We appreciate your patience and support!

We are blessed with an amazing faculty and staff! Ms. Margie is the person who orders all of our supplies and she is always watching our spending. Recently, she discovered a way to MAKE painting smocks for our little ones out of flannel-backed vinyl table coverings and they are amazing! We are blessed that she is so dedicated and shares her gifts and talents with St. Patrick School! | |

Looking ahead, it looks like Trunk or Treat is happening this evening! A huge shout-out goes to Kelly Redoutey and her team of volunteers to help make this a success!
The viewing of grades will be closed as of 3:00 pm this afternoon and report cards will be available for viewing Thursday, September 30 at 3:00 p.m.
We will kick off our first of two Home and School fundraisers on Monday! We have been so successful with our Otis Spunkmeyer sales that we decided to do it again! Please be sure to check out the information when it comes home on Monday.
On Thursday, October 21, the students may wear their Halloween colors with Spirit Day bottoms for our Halloween Party Day. Dress guidelines are found in the Family Handbook.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone next Friday at Parent/Teacher Conferences! If you have not signed up, please do so today!
I hope you are able to take some time to enjoy your family over the fall break. As the leaves begin to change and the fall weather approaches, I ask that you join me as we lift up our families to our heavenly Father, who loves us all and is the author of our peace!
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Gould
