Principal's Message
Greetings:

This week our students and faculty celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Conception by watching a remote video of Fr. Marc and Mrs. Ramos celebrating this Holy Day of Obligation in the Church.
Students also watched an Advent prayer service hosted by Fr. Marc.

As part of our service projects during Advent, students made cards for nurses, police, fire department, and paramedics. Students are praying for special intentions and have shared their prayer cards. These cards can be seen outside of Mrs. Nowinski's office.

Good news has arrived. Santa Claus will be visiting our school on Thursday, Dec. 17th. He will jingle down the hallways bringing good cheer and wave from the classroom doorway. I know you are all on the "nice" list.

Please visit the Bobcat e-Envelope for information on Tax Credit Scholarships, The School Gratitude Fund, Bobcat Bonanza Raffle, Market Day, and more!

The Pandemic has changed many things in school this year. The way we fundraise is one of those changes. Even with in-person events canceled and virtual fundraising the option, we have been able to raise funds to help the school. Thank you to all of you who support St. Patricia School through our fundraisers. So far this school year we have raised:
$14,000 Bobcat Bonanza Raffle
$2,622.30 from our Charleston Wrap campaign $180.23 from Shoparoo
$27.55 from Coca-Cola Give
$750.00 Trunk or Treat Drive-in Movie
$1735.50 Mum Sale

Christmas Break begins on Friday, December 18th with a 1:00 pm Dismissal. There will not be Extended Care available. Please be sure to make arrangements for your child.

Face Mask Maintenance
We are so happy that our students wear their face masks in school, but we have noticed that some students are wearing the same masks every day. It is very important that masks be clean and sanitized daily. Please check your child's masks often and replace them with clean masks when needed.

Wear Your Mask (over your nose, too!)
Wash your hands frequently
Stay at least 6 ft. away from others
Quarantine members of your household who are exposed or have tested positive.
Stay home if you are sick or have been exposed to someone with a known COVID case
Get Tested if you exhibit symptoms.
Call the school immediately if your child or someone in your family is sick or has tested positive.


Stay healthy & safe. Enjoy a blessed Weekend!

Blessings,
Mrs. Nowinski
