St. Paul Community - Light Up St. Paul
Thank you to all who helped us Light Up St. Paul this year! From either attending, helping set up or lighting luminaries!
Those special luminaries lit to honor loved ones past and present lined McPhee Field on December 8. This annual Light up St. Paul event included an Advent candle lighting ceremony, luminary walk, Santa’s Corner, Christmas music & so much more.
New ideas were brought to life too, such as the Falcon Ice Sculpture, chili, soup, grilled cheese, pulled pork, baked goods and the amazing cinnamon rolls the Assistant Campus Ministers handmade and sold. It was truly a night of fun (and literal chills).

Mrs. Kelly’s Church History students take an art walk highlighting artists such as Michelangelo, DaVinci, and Bernini to introduce their unit on the Renaissance. | | |
Mrs. Kelly’s 10 grade Church History class had their choice of either making a Gothic arch/church, presenting on a famous Gothic Cathedral or designing the facade of one in Minecraft. They were very well done overall. | | |

St. Paul Performing Arts’ will bring the hilarious SHREK The Musical to audiences March 22-24.
The St. Paul stage will transform into a mythical landscape in the Tony Award-winning SHREK the Musical. You may think you know all there is to know about that grumpy, green ogre and his sidekicks, but prepare to be surprised. More songs, more dancing, moving set pieces, intricate costumes – SHREK The Musical offers so much theatricality.
Immerse yourself in a world of characters you know and love, on a massive scale that seems to bring all the fairytales to life at once! This modern take on the classic tale of an underdog who learns the meaning of friendship, inner beauty, and that everything has layers is the perfect stage adventure for any age.
“SHREK The Musical teaches us that everyone can find love, beauty isn’t always pretty, and that nothing is handed to you,” says director Mark Mazzarella. SHREK The Musical presents a challenge to inhabit, physicalize, and explore these magical characters as an actor on stage.”

One of our most recent Alums!
Lila Alderete '23 - Valedictorian
What's one thing about St. Paul you miss?
I definitely miss the tight-knit community at St. Paul. Cornell has almost 5,000 freshman in my grade which can be overwhelming at times.
If you could tell a current St. Paul student any advice, what would it be?
Challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone to discover new passions, talents, or experiences. By doing so, you will grow into the individual you are meant to be and embrace who you are.
Which SP teacher influenced your life the most? Why?
Mr. Wallace has influenced my life the most. Taking AP Calculus and UConn Physics with Mr. Wallace was really difficult, but it definitely prepared me for the rigor and hard work of college courses. As I was always stressing out about my next quiz, test, project, or homework assignment, Mr. Wallace always told me to stay calm (and get a 5 on AP Calculus).
Through Mr. Wallace's classes, I was able to become a better student and learn the importance of staying calm even when stressed.
