Dear Parents, Faculty, Staff, and Friends,

Grades 3 through 5 attended the Children’s Holy Hour at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston yesterday. It was so nice for this event to be back in person, but I did miss the entire school being able to participate remotely. 

We are kicking off our yearlong service to others program! Each month there will be school wide and/or individual classroom service projects. 

Our first school wide project is spearheaded by our Health Office as a collection partner for Coats for Kids & Families. Coats are being collected inside the main entries of our school and St. Paul Parish, will be professionally cleaned by Anton’s and given to local nonprofits, social service agencies, and schools for distribution. 

Interested in knowing more about child’s day? Check out the Lesson Plan section of the Family Portal (under student tab) for all subjects including specials! 
 
There appears to be some confusion with our traditional uniform, specifically what constitutes shoes vs sneakers. Examples of shoes are oxfords, loafers, dress shoes and flats. They are usually slip-on or have a buckle. Sneakers (or could also be a casual rubber-soled shoe) are what we wear on physical education day. For example, running or tennis shoes. Common brands like UGG, Nike, ALLBIRDS or On are not considered a shoe. If still in question, do a search on Nordstrom or other retail outlet for shoe or sneaker and you can see what comes up. Gym Uniform for ALL grade levels – short-sleeve gray gym shirt with emblem, navy mesh shorts (warm) or navy wind / sweat pant (winter), white socks & sneakers. MORE information can be found in the Virtual backpack on our school website as well as in the Family Portal under Resource Documents. Students not in appropriate attire will be receiving a “Dress Code Violation” to be brought home, signed and returned. Multiple infractions will result in a consequence. 

Thank you, Mr. Hussey for sharing your experiences being a fire fighter with our Preschool, Prekindergarten and kindergarten students. The more our students are exposed to this important profession the more comfortable they will be!
 
Which brings me to …. next week there will be an unannounced fire drill with the HFD.
 
Also, next week …. Kindergarten through Grade 5 progress reports will be emailed home on Monday.

AND for a $1.00 donation a Student Council sponsored dress down day (DDD) on Friday, October 21 in support of breast cancer awareness month. Wear your pink and support! 

I am looking forward to our incredible and productive 70th year at Saint Paul School!

Sincerely,
Principal 

Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious gift … your children!
2022-2023
ANNUAL FUND
At this time of year, we ask that you prayerfully consider a gift in any amount to our Annual Fund.

In recognition of our 70th anniversary this year, we want to celebrate with 70 donations to the Annual Fund. 

We know we can do this with your help. 
Thank you!

"Hat's off" to St. Paul Students
(Hingham Journal, November 13, 2008, pg. 18)

In 2008 SPS students hosted a dress down day supporting a national "HAT'S ON" fundraising effort to raise money to fight cancer.

Today SPS Student Council proudly continues this effort until a cure for cancer can be discovered.
