Thank You - Lenten Dinner

A great big thank you to everyone who donated and participated in the spaghetti dinner this week! It gave the class an opportunity to serve supporters of our church and school. We hope you enjoyed the meal and all of the wonderful art displayed in the gym! Thank you again! --Mrs. Wyman and the 7th and 8th graders.

Thank You - Art Fair

Thank you so much for joining us at our Art Fair! We were thrilled with the incredible turnout and the enthusiasm from everyone who came to celebrate our young artists. Your ongoing support of our art program is truly appreciated! Seeing the excitement on the students' faces as they shared their creations is a testament to the impact you have on their artistic journey. It's been a joy to watch them learn and grow this year! God is doing some amazing things here at St Paul! – Katie Helmreich

St. John Amelith - Head of Hot Lunch Program

St. John Amelith (1664 Amelith Rd, Bay City, MI 48706) has an immediate opening for a qualified candidate to run a Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday hot lunch program. Interested candidates can contact School Board Chair Jill Loftus at 989-714-3811.

Drop-Off Reminder

A kind reminder regarding the morning drop-off procedure: Parents who need/desire to help students with opening car doors or unbuckling seat belts are asked to park their car in a parking space during the morning drop-off procedure. The drop-off line (that flows past the orange cones) is reserved for students who can independently get themselves out of their cars. To help keep everyone safe during drop-off, please use the parking spaces if you know your student needs assistance getting out of the car. St. Paul appreciates it! (For additional information see pg. 15 in the Parent Handbook.)

Track

If your child is not currently signed up for track, but wishes to participate, please let Mrs. Dent know before Friday, March 22. Practices will begin on Wednesday, April 10 from 3:15-4:30, and will be held every Wednesday and Thursday thereafter. A formal schedule will be given once the team has been finalized. Coach Jon Arnold and Mrs. Dent can’t wait to see the kids use the gifts and talents they’ve been blessed with.
