Dear SPC Families,

Congratulations to our 2nd graders who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation this week! Next week, we have a very fun week planned for Catholic Schools Week; please see below for a list of activities. Thank you to the Catholic Schools Week Committee for planning a great week and to the SPC Life Team for coordinating our service project for the week. 

Celebrating the Spirit Next Friday!

The CTS Committee is finalizing the last-minute details before welcoming us all to FABULOUS Las SPegas next Friday! We are so grateful to our incredible volunteers, generous donors, and sponsors for making this event what it will be! I look forward to celebrating the spirit with so many of you next Friday night! 

Tomorrow, we'll send home the CTS program books with your oldest/only child, so check those backpacks. Enjoy all the beautiful and heartfelt Well Wishes and our incredible sponsor pages. You'll also get a sneak peek at the exciting Party Boards, Student Class Art, Teacher Treats, and one-of-a-kind auction packages. Stay tuned for more important updates from our CTS committee throughout the upcoming week. 

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK:

  • SUNDAY: Feel free to stop by our Open House from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and visit the classrooms! All students attending the Open House in Uniform will receive an out-of-uniform pass.
  • MONDAY: We Celebrate the Community! Students will dress as community helpers and kick-start the week-long service project led by the SPC Life Team! Students will collect baby essentials for the women’s center.
  • TUESDAY: We Celebrate the Students! Students can wear jeans or jammies, and a fun 1st annual Teacher Swap will happen during the morning. All the teachers will switch classrooms for a class period. We will also celebrate our Catholic Schools Week Mass.
  • WEDNESDAY: We Celebrate Our Nation! Students dress in red, white, and blue and will write thank you cards to our veterans!
  • THURSDAY: We Celebrate Vocations! Today, students will get a treat and be led in prayer in the morning and afternoon by 2 of our previous pastors. Father Britto and Father Carl sent video prayer messages for the students and will share what being at St. Paul meant to them!  
  • FRIDAY: We Celebrate Faculty, Staff, and Volunteers! The Annual Faculty vs. 8th-Grade Volleyball Game happens today! The faculty will defend their CSW volleyball championship title! 

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK COMMITTEE:  Ms. Iacopelli, Mrs. Dohr, Mrs. Rinaldi, Mrs. Pecoraro, Ms. Burke, Mrs. Kraft, Ms. Whalen, and Mrs. Kusinski. THANK YOU!
