SCHOOL ARRIVAL:
Parents, please do not drop your children off in the mornings before 7:55 am. There is no adult supervision outside at that time. If you arrive prior to 7:55 am, your children must stay with you in your vehicles. We are committed to keeping your children safe and appreciate your support.t
ROSARY:
A couple of SPSL parents pray the rosary every Friday morning outside of church from 8:15-8:30 am. They are praying for the safety and well being of the administrators, pastors, staff, teachers, and students. All are welcome! Come as you are and pray!

PICTURE RE-TAKE DAY:
Picture Re-Take Day is Thursday, October 8. If you would like your child to have their picture taken again, please return the picture packet that was recently sent home to the school office by Wednesday, October 7. Please call the school office if you have any questions (402-551-6667).

OPTIONAL DRESS DOWN DAY
Thursday, September 24 is an optional dress down day to benefit the SPSL Fundraiser. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and out of the abundance of safety, this year's event will be a virtual event, thus all fundraising efforts are vitally important to supporting the mission of the school. Students that choose to dress down should bring at least one dollar, if they are able. Please follow the 'Dress Down Day' guidelines in the Family Handbook, which can be found on the school website. |
(Miles, the SPSL therapy dog, has missed seeing all of the students and staff. He wishes he could be here at school but understands he will have to wait a bit longer. In the event he can return, he has already mastered how to wear a mask.) |

The Knights of Columbus from St. Leo and St. Pius X Parishes and the St. Pius X Men's Club baked and sold delicious soda bread for eight weeks during this past Lent. All proceeds from the sale of soda bread support tuition assistance. On February 4 they brought loaves of soda bread to SPSL School so that each student, staff, and faculty member could receive a loaf and have an opportunity to make a donation. A check totaling $14,000 was given to SPSL School to support our tuition assistance efforts. Thank you to all who supported the Knights efforts. |
