Dear SPC Families,
We are excited to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Beginning on Sunday with Mass and Open House, the Catholic Schools Week committee has planned a week of activities celebrating our Catholic School!!!
Last Saturday, St. Paul of the Cross 6-8 graders participated in the Future City Competition. The students presented their model of a futuristic floating city called “Atlantis Reborn.” The team was awarded Best Name for a Community by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Congratulations!
Thank you to all of our police parents who have responded immediately by signing up for extra shifts to ensure our community’s safety! Since I have not received any official notification regarding the threat made at a local school, we will continue to have extra security on campus during the school day.
Quick reminder, if you’re planning to purchase tickets for Celebrating the Spirit on February 7th, the ticket prices go up tomorrow. Click here to purchase your tickets.
This a reminder that Home and School will meet in the Holy Family Chapel after drop-off tomorrow, January 24th.
Please keep the O’Connell family in your prayers, as they suffered a house fire this week. The 1st-grade room moms will organize some support soon, but if you would like to drop off gift card donations to the main office, we will ensure they receive them.

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
This year, the school will be hosting family Masses at 10:30 AM in the Holy Family Chapel, and it will be an excellent opportunity for our school community to pray together! Our students will be reading and serving as ushers, and our alumni will return to be Eucharistic ministers.
- February 23: 1st and 2nd Grade
- March 16th: All 4-8th grade Spring Athletes will pray together. Spring Athletes will wear their spring sports jerseys!
- NO MASS in APRIL
- May 25th: Preschool & Kindergarten
While the school hosts the above Family Masses, Religious Education hosts Family Masses on the following Sundays at 10:30 AM, and school families are always invited!

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.
