Principal's Message
basicImage
Greetings:

Today is the 100th Day of School Celebration for our primary students. I have my 100th paper clip necklace on and the Kindys showered me with a crown. The First graders are wearing some very creative T-shirts that have 100 things attached. To the little ones, a hundred seems like such a big amount, and when you really think about it, wearing 100 paper clips around my neck is a lot of paper clips! Congratulations to all of our students for coming to school for 100 days!

Re-registration for 2021-2022
As we prepare for the 2021-2022 school year, remember to send in your re-registration. Due to the uncertainty of COVID guidelines, our class sizes may remain limited. We need your registration/commitment to secure your child's seat for the 2020/2021 school year. With your registration by 1/31/20, we can assure your child a spot. The following information is the next step to our registration process:
  • Please complete and return the re-registration form, to secure placement for next year
  • Include the non-refundable $200 per family re-registration/commitment fee. This fee is credited
to next year’s tuition.
  • Please return the form and payment to the school office on or before Sunday, January 31, 2021.
Completion and submission of this form and re-registration fee are required for your child(ren)’s
enrollment for the upcoming school year. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to Catholic education. Open registration for new families begins on Sunday, January 31, 2021.

Please check the Bobcat e-envelope for more information and forms.

Junior Honor Society Food Drive
On February 1st, the JHS will be hosting a food drive to help needy families. Please send in your donations of non-perishable food to your child's homeroom.

Project Cares
On Wednesday, Feb. 3rd, we are collecting donations for the Troops. We will also have a Red, White, & Blue $1 Dress Down Day and donate the proceeds to the Troops. In the past, we collected items and donated them to KRUSE KREWS, but due to social distancing and COVID, this year we will collect $$ for the Troops.
Anything you can give is greatly appreciated.

St. Patricia Virtual Open House
A Virtual Open House video will be posted on our website and on Facebook on 1/31/2021. Catholic School's Week also begins on 1/31/2021

Enjoy a great weekend!

Blessings,
Mrs. Nowinski
