Inclement Weather School Closing

With cold weather coming, we inevitably know that there may be a Snow Day or two in our future. How will you know if school is closed for a Snow Day? Check these three places:

St. Paul Lutheran School will be closed when Bay City Public School closes, watch for it on WNEM's School Closings.
The office will also send out a FastDirect email.
School Closings will be posted on our St. Paul Lutheran School Facebook Page.

Holly Jolly Gift Donations

The Holly Jolly Christmas Store is right around the corner for St. Paul students and the PTO needs your help!

We really appreciate the support of donations and volunteers for the Holly Jolly so far! Currently we are still very much in need of "dad" items (sports items, hunting, fishing, games, snacks, coffee, etc). If you're out shopping, or have some gently used items, we appreciate them! Every donation helps make the event special for our kids!

We are also looking for Holly Jolly volunteers. Please sign up by clicking here and bring your cheer! Any questions? Please contact Kayla Schlicker at 989-450-8057.

Holly Jolly list/money forms will be sent home today for you to fill out and send back!
