All St. Paul Church & School families are welcome!!

We will be providing grilled hot dogs and chips.

Please bring a dish to pass, your own non-alcoholic beverage, lawn chairs or blankets for seating.

Look for the blue tent with the St. Paul signs around it set up between the driveways at Valley.

To park: Please drop your stuff and passengers in the unloading zone by the tailgate area and then proceed to the rest of the parking lot or the grass lot to the west of the driveway to park.

Staying for the game? Seating in the stands could be tight so you’re welcome to bring your lawn chairs into the game and find a seat around the track toward the end zones with other VL fans!

Does your child have an EVENT PASS from a VL camp this summer? Use it for complimentary family admittance to the game!

We are looking forward to a fun filled evening!

Please remember VLHS is a no alcohol/drug zone.

The Bay County Library Bookmobile will be returning to St. Paul on periodic Tuesdays. Y5/Kindergarten and new St. Paul students were given a paper copy of a library card application. Fall and early winter dates for Bookmobile are: Sept. 27, Oct. 18, Nov. 8, Nov. 29, and Dec. 20. Contact the school office for more information.

The teachers, students, and staff would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Matt and Kayla Schlicker for purchasing and assembling a new grill for our school. The shiny new gas grill will be housed under the back porch of the school and will be used by the school lunch program and for school functions. In addition to the grill, we thank Mr. and Mrs. Schlicker for the three piece stainless steel BBQ tool set and the nylon bristle brush. Thank you!

Every Monday morning from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. Savings Stamps will be available for sale in the school gymnasium. Mrs. Shasta Duffey (St. Paul’s CEF Rep) will be on hand to help with your child’s saving efforts.

Join us Friday, October 28th from 6-7pm, at the school parking lot and playground for trick-or-treating! Come host a treat trunk and enjoy the buzz of costumed kid excitement while hanging out with some of your favorite people! The event will be all outdoors again this year. Light snacks and drinks will be available. *Raindate: Saturday, Oct 29th, 1-2pm.

Treat trunks: Please plan for around 150 kids, although we may have more. Register with Katie to make sure you are updated in case of inclement weather. Text 989.225.3532 or email squaretangle@gmail.com

The Poland & Alaska Mission trips will be collecting new & gently used shoes over the next few months as a fundraiser for the trips. These shoes are then used to help 3rd world countries establish sustainable business. There will be a tote at the side of the gym entrance. Please tie the laces together or buckle the shoes together (rubber bands will also be available to attach shoe pairs).

Mark your calendar! St. Paul’s Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the gym on October 24th through October 28th. All sales earn free books for our school! Over the last three years, St. Paul’s Scholastic Book Fair has earned $4,800 in free books and resources. Families donated an additional 175 books to our classrooms and library. YOU can be a part of this year’s success! Consider partnering with St. Paul by shopping at the Book Fair or donating in support of our classrooms and library.
