Dear SPC Families,
Last weekend was excellent for SPC Basketball; we had many teams in the playoffs! Thank you to all our coaches and fans! Congratulations to the 6th Grade Girls Gold Team and the 8th Grade Boys Blue, who brought home the championships!
Please keep our 2nd graders in your prayers next week! Ms. Guerrero and Mrs. Galvin’s classes will receive the Sacrament of First Reconciliation on Tuesday, and Mrs. McCallister and Ms. Vasilic’s classes on Wednesday! May God Bless all of our 2nd graders!
Earlier this week, I sent a note about a security threat at a local Catholic School. Thank you to all of our police parents who responded immediately by signing up for extra shifts! I know many rumors are circulating. However, I have not seen an official notification regarding the issue. Until then, we will continue having extra campus security during the school day. I was able to have conversations with both PR Police Chief Kampwirth and Deputy Chief Ware, who made sure there would be extra police presence throughout the day and at dismissal. We are truly blessed to have the support of our first responders to ensure the safety of our community.
This a reminder that Home and School will meet in the Holy Family Chapel after drop-off on Friday, January 24th.

Kiss and Go During Cold Weather
“Oh the weather outside is frightful and the kiss and go line is much longer”
A few friendly reminders:
- Have your children wear their coats in the car – we do not have time to put coats on and keep the line moving.
- We do not prop the doors open when it is cold so we can keep the heat in the building. The teachers are just inside and will still open the door.
- The kiss-and-go helpers will go inside at 8:00 am–if you are late, please walk your child inside.
- And….do not get out of your car or risk the whistle and the naughty list!
- And….do not pull out from the line if you are in the cones—that is a hard-to-get-off-of-the-naughty-list infraction!
2024-2025 Family Masses: Save The Dates

Hello Families!
We are doing well with Box Tops this year! We have raised over $155 for the Home and School Association. We have increased the number of supporters scanning receipts each month since the beginning of the year! Thank you for your participation! If you would like more information about Box Tops, please visit Box Tops.
I am now the Raise Right Coordinator. I love Raise Right because I can buy virtual gift cards to use for everyday spending and it helps me reduce my daughters’ tuition at the same time. Did you know you can buy gift cards to pay for uniforms? That is my favorite way to use Raise Right and it’s very easy to do. I have created a presentation that explains the program (and how to buy gift cards for uniforms) which you can see here: Raise Right
Please contact me with any questions you may have.
