Dear SPC Families,

I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow evening at our Parent Funtober! We will gather in the Safe Zone for a fun evening of music, community, and beverages. 

Thank you again for making the Fun Run a huge success! Pledge money is still arriving, corporate matching gifts are still coming in, and we have surpassed our goal of $165,000. These funds collected are directed to general operating, which funds all SPC programs and allows us to have robust, comprehensive programs. THANK YOU!

Please remember that we will dismiss at 12:00 next Thursday, and there is no afternoon EDP. Doors will open for conferences at 1:00. There will be no school on Friday.

Hello Families! 
Box Tops is an easy way to raise money for SPC. Please see this link for a Google Slides presentation that explains how Box Tops works. 
There are 5 quick steps to earning Box Tops:

  1. Download the Box Tops app and choose St. Paul of the Cross School
  2. On the app, find participating products and monthly bonus offers that can help you earn more cash for SPC.
  3. Purchase products at the store and then scan your receipt with the Box Tops app.
  4. Earn 10 cents per product or more if you buy items that are in the monthly bonus.
  5. SPC receives a check twice a year. Last year we raised over $170.00! Let’s reach our goal of $500.00 this year!

Please reach out to me with any questions at [email protected].
Thank you for your participation!
