The Holly Jolly Christmas Store is right around the corner (December 12 & 13).  The Holly Jolly Christmas Store is a fully donation funded event, for students of St. Paul to shop for Christmas gifts for family. During the Holly Jolly Christmas store, students will shop with their classes to purchase gifts ranging in price from $1-$5 for family members. Gifts will go home with the students wrapped and ready to be delivered at Christmas. 

To make this a successful event for St. Paul Students, the PTO needs your help! 

We are accepting donations of large shopping bags (for students to bring gifts home in), gift bags, tissue paper, tape, along with new and gently used items for moms, dads, grandparents, and siblings.

Donation boxes are located inside the main entrance at the school and in the Ministry Center. There is also a Wish List Tree in the Ministry Center to take tags from. Every donation helps make the event special for our students.



We are also looking for Holly Jolly volunteers to set up and work the event. With increased enrollment, we appreciate as many volunteers as possible! Please sign up here and bring your cheer!

Don't forget about St. Paul Scrip for your Christmas shopping, participate in our Scrip fundraiser by purchasing gift cards from us! Please contact the school office to see what cards are in stock and to arrange payment (cash or check) and pick up. Deadline for special requests (e.g. large quantities) is Friday, December 13 to ensure orders arrive before Christmas. Click here for an order form.

The 7th and 8th graders are having a Populace Coffee Fundraiser. $5 from each coffee bag sold will go towards the 7th and 8th grade class! Fill out the online order form by clicking here and an invoice will be sent to your email. Coffee bags will be delivered to the school/church the week of 12/13/2024. Contact the office at office@stpaulbaycity.org with any questions or help ordering.
