Happy Fall, St. Patrick School Family!

God has been blessing us with gorgeous weather, hasn’t He! With such a great school community, we have many things to be so grateful for! 

The Fall Festival was such a great success and it couldn’t have happened without the many many hands of volunteers! Thanks to all of you who contributed through your time, talent, and treasure. 

I’d like to take a minute to thank our two volunteer nurses, Kelsey Thieme and Ashleigh Crowe! They have been wonderful to work with and have been true blessings, especially when it came to working on immunization records! They loaded all of the students’ information into our system so that we could be much more organized! Thank you so much, Kelsey and Ashleigh!

Coming up…. Pet Blessing, Rosary Service w/Exposition and Benediction, Camp Lakewood for 7^th Grade, Trunk or Treat, Sacrament meetings, Otis Spunkmeyer fundraiser, Parent/Teacher conferences, and Fall Break. Please be sure to read on so you know what’s happening at St. Patrick School.

St. Patrick School community’s ultimate connection is that which we share with each other in God, the creator of us all! Please continue to pray each day for the school, the staff, and especially the students.

Yours in Christ, 

Mrs. Gould

We had a great weekend for our annual St. Patrick Fall Festival!

Friday, October 1 is a Spirit Day with a Noon dismissal.

It is a St. Patrick tradition on Spirit Days for students to bring in a canned food item to donate for the privilege of dressing down. It is just a small way we can support our community. The food pantries appreciate any items you choose to donate, but some staple item suggestions include peanut butter, jelly, spaghetti sauce, pasta, tuna, mac & cheese, breakfast cereals, pancake mix, syrup, canned fruits, and vegetables.

Thanks for your generosity!

Aftercare will be offered until 6:00 PM. You must RSVP to valerie@stpatsch.org and your child will need to bring a sack lunch. Spirit Day dress guidelines can be found in the Family Handbook.

* Grandparents Day celebration tentatively scheduled for this day has been postponed until Spring

2 Spots Open, October 19 & 21.
