Dear Saint Paul School Community,

As we embark on celebrating 70 years of a Catholic education for families on the South Shore, this year's gala honorees are the PARENTS of Saint Paul School.  
 
Saint Paul School … Celebrates Our Parents

This year's honorees embody commitment to a Catholic education and have supported the faculty, staff and students throughout the pandemic. We honor our parents for their trust, dedication, patience, and thoughtfulness. You were our true partners the past two years and motivated us to keep going.  
 
It’s beginning to feel like 2019.  Yesterday parents led us at liturgy followed by the return of our annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration.  Thank you to Holly Breen and Jean Schnorr for organizing and producing this tradition, to the teachers for their willingness to work with their students to sing, Sheila Deitsch for preparing our Irish Step dancers, Amy Barnes for preparing our School Choir and to Nicki Disch for helping classrooms with their songs.  We are enjoying having our school community back for in-person events! 
 
Today the teachers and I had a beautiful retreat where we started our day in prayer with Fr. Matt, attended 9:00 am liturgy and was joined by Mother Olga.  Mother Olga's inspiring presentation reminded our instructors to follow The Way, The Truth and The Life in their vocation as teachers.
 
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 who can teach our music program on Monday and Thursday?  I have posted to School Spring and Young World and have not had any luck.  Please have potential prospects reach out to me directly.
 
Last week’s school spirit day raised over $600 for the Ukraine Relief Fund.  For $1.00, Wednesday, March 23 will be dress as your favorite sports team followed by Tuesday, March 29 crazy hair day! 
 
THANK YOU to our PTO for the wonderful St. Patricks Day breakfast for our staff and treats during our Faculty Retreat.

CLICK IMAGE FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY SHOW PICTURES
What a fun and joy-filled day! Our school community was thrilled about the opportunity to celebrate Liturgy together and the return of our annual St. Patrick’s Day Show.
Fr. Matt and our parents led in a beautiful morning Liturgy. In the afternoon, our students presented a program of festive Irish songs and fabulous Irish step dancing
that was a pure delight. Blessed indeed!
Many thanks to our PTO
for the beautiful
and delicious
St. Patrick's Day breakfast for our faculty and staff.
