Dear Saint families,

Happy New Year! I pray that you all had a blessed Christmas and a Happy New year! Your holidays might have looked a little different; however, I hope that you were able to reflect on the past year in hopeful anticipation of the many blessings that the Lord has in store for 2021! We have so much to be grateful for as we have persevered through many challenges, and I am confident that He will continue to be with us as we forge ahead.

As we continue on with our school theme of “Growing in Faith and Virtue”, for January the students will learn about the virtue of Gratitude. Over morning announcements today, the children heard that gratitude means seeing everything as a gift and being thankful. We encouraged the students to thank God for all He has done for us. In that spirit, I must also express my sincere gratitude to all of our families for their unwavering support while working with us during this pandemic. I am overwhelmed with appreciation for our amazing staff for their dedication and love they pour into fulfilling our mission for all our students. Your continued support and trust truly allow us to fulfill our calling to serve you and your children.

We are looking forward to this second semester and are excited to share soon about how we will celebrate Catholic Schools Week at the end of the month!

God Bless,

Thank you to everyone who has already given to the Annual Fund! Your thank you letter from Mrs. Bogard will also serve as a tax receipt for 2020. We've made tremendous progress and raised more than we ever have in the first semester. Let's keep that momentum going! We still have $85,000 to raise to meet our Annual Fund goal, and we know with everyone's support we can cross the finish line. If you have not yet given, please visit www.jp2.org/give to make your gift or contact development@jp2.org for more information. Every gift makes a difference!

Hello Saints! My name is Jessica Ande and I am the new Director of Admissions. I first started working at StJPII when I was in high school for our wonderful Summer Enrichment Program. I am blessed to have been a full time employee at StJPII for three and a half years now. As a former student myself, I strongly believe in our schools mission and the importance of educating our students spiritually and academically. I look forward to getting to know current students and families more as well as welcome new families to our StJPII community! Please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions at admissions@jp2.org. 

Dear Parents,

On Monday, November 30, Crime Stoppers offered two presentations to our parents on Social Media. Below are my notes from the presentations if you were not available to attend.

Additionally, I want to share the Love and Logic training series starting tomorrow throughout the month of February, titled, Parenting the Love and Logic Way. See the flyer below for additional information.

Also auditioning were Perry Lambert and Katerina Escobar on flute.

Congratulations to these students for representing StJPII so well at region band auditions.

Happy New Year sports fans! We are still awaiting the decision from our Archdiocese as to whether or not we will have Spring sports for BOTH Elementary & Middle School programs. As soon as we know I will post it right away in Saints Weekly as well as the Athletic calendar. As of today, the only activity we have planned is Coach Porth's Conditioning camp. Please refer to the Athletic calendar and click on the event to see all the information pertaining to the camp! All communication from Coach Porth will be on the REMIND app, the REMIND code for the conditioning class is: @c82gceg

Christmas Collection Thank You

A huge thank you on behalf of the PTO to all the families who contributed to the Christmas collection. Because of your generosity, we were able to give all the teachers and staff a monetary gift for Christmas.

Please join us for the first virtual PTO meeting of 2021 to be held on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at 9:30 a.m.

First Friday Lunch will be this Friday, January 8, as you are aware due to COVID-19 restrictions the campus is closed, so we are having the lunch catered. We are asking for volunteers to donate $20 through the Signup Genius below to cover the cost of the entrees and all the other food ordered.

Let us continue to show our wonderful teachers how much we appreciate them. Thanks in advance for your support.
