Welcome Back Faculty, Staff, Students, Parents and Friends!
Thank you to Mr. Tatalias and Mr. Dave Frank for grilling burgers and to Mrs. Knobloch and Mrs. Breen preparing yesterday’s cookout. It was a beautiful day to have a hamburger at the Parish House backyard!
I encourage you to follow us on Facebook for the most up to date events at school. As we continue to strengthen our partnerships with the town of Hingham, this week Officer McGillicuddy and Bus Driver Pete Brown joined us to review bus safety with our students.
Next week is a very busy week and I would like to highlight a few events:
You won’t want to miss our annual Back to School Nights! Come meet the teachers and hear about all the spiritual, academic and social happenings they have planned. Parents will also have an opportunity to visit the book fair. The evening will begin promptly at 6:00 pm with a presentation in the gymnasium. If you have multiple students, I suggest you “divide and conquer”. If unable, you will have the opportunity to “switch” classrooms and meet all the teachers.
· Tuesday, September 20 - Preschool – Grade 3
· Thursday, September 22 - Grade 4-8
On Wednesday, September 21 Superintendent Thomas Carroll will be visiting our school. Our students will also have the opportunity to visit the PTO sponsored Scholastic Book Fair. Schedule below and parents are welcome to join their students.
Grade 6-8 Parents, please don’t forget to complete the Middle School Domestic Excursion Survey. This survey will close Friday, September 23 at noon.
Shortly, we will be offering afterschool enrichment opportunities for our Preschool through Grade 8 students. A sneak peak …. choir, piano lessons, band instrument lessons, book club, cooking, and art! Stay tuned for registration on Monday, September 26. We will also be launching registration for our Grade 5-8 basketball teams next week!
Reminder to label jackets and sweaters. We are finding many left behind and would like to be able to return to the owner!
I am looking forward to our incredible and productive 70th year at Saint Paul School!
Sincerely,
Principal
Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious gift … your children!

Our Beginning: Fr. Patrick Quill |
Saint Paul School was established through the inspiration and guidance of Reverend Patrick J. Quill, Pastor of St. Paul Church in the 1950s. Fr. Quill would speak often of the importance of religious guided education as exemplified by the parochial school. Saint Paul School was built on the site of the former Burr Brown Tassel Factory. In Spring of 1950, Fr. Quill galvanized into action parish and community groups to solicit funds for the school. Support was so great that they were able to break ground for the new school building on April 8, 1951. A formal dedication of the school building took place February 22, 1952 and was the school was blessed by Archbishop Richard J. Cushing on July 17, 1952.
Saint Paul School formally opened to its first 145 students on September 8, 1952.
The presentation of this portrait of Fr. Quill occurred June 29, 1954.

This history of Saint Paul Parish and School is an interesting and heartwarming story of a community of people who have worshipped, taught , ministered and cared for each other through the years.
We are grateful for the historical research and images compiled and shared through
A Celebration of History; Saint Paul Parish of Hingham
by author, parishioner and former SPS parent Mr. Kerry Ryan.
A new edition of this book has been composed, and we will be sure to share when published later this year.

Dear Parents,
This is a gentle reminder that Saint Paul School is a nut-free school. We have a number of students with severe peanut and tree nut allergies with reactions that include anaphylaxis. Some of these students do not have to consume the food to have a reaction. They can react from being in close proximity to the allergen. Their reaction can be life threatening. We are asking for your help to ensure that we keep all our students as safe as possible.
If your children like to pack their own lunch, please help them by providing some safe food choices. Teach your children to be food label detectives. We understand this can be challenging, but our hope is that education and awareness will help to keep everyone safe!
Some common products that could / do contain nuts include Nutella (hazelnut) chocolate spread, granola bars, chocolate bars and items cooked in nut oil (crisps). There are some great nut-free alternatives out there.
Thank you for your diligence in keeping Saint Paul School a safe learning environment for all.
Warm regards,
Sarah Evjy and Florence Richardson
