FUN FAIR October 25th:
Please see below for information regarding Fun Fair 2024 from Home and School! Please note the following when planning your child’s Halloween costumes for school:

HALLOWEEN COSTUME GUIDELINES:
As you prepare for students to wear Halloween costumes to school on October 25th, please be mindful of the following:

  • School rules regarding dress code must be followed: No short skirts/shorts/tutus, no bare midriffs, no bare shoulders, or low necklines. 
  • Nothing that promotes the use of illegal substances or activities or is derogatory, disrespectful, or depicts violence. 
  • Hats & hoods may be worn as part of the costume on this day only. ALL costume preparations are to be completed at home. (No dressing or applying of make-up or colored hairspray once students arrive at school).  
  • No masks or weapons (nun chucks/sickles/swords/knives/guns, etc).  
  • Students or parents who have questions about the acceptability of their costumes should check with their homeroom teacher before wearing the costumes to school. 
  • Students wearing inappropriate costumes will need to call home to have a change of clothes brought up to them. 
  • PARENTS: Please help support an appropriate, distraction-free learning environment for all students by assuring that your students adhere to these guidelines. 

Start organizing your tables and schedule your babysitters! Trivia Night is around the corner. The Endowment committee will be sending out the registration link next week. This is an incredibly fun night you won’t want to miss. See details below and start planning!

SAVE THE DATE: First Responder Mass-November 5th
We invite all our St Paul of the Cross parents (of students in grades K-8) who are doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and other emergency professionals to attend this special Mass on November 5th at 10:00 am. We ask that you come in uniform and arrive around 9:40. You will line up in the gym and process in with your children. We hope you can join us in thanksgiving for their service and pray for their safety. Students in grades K-8 will attend the Mass with their first responder parents. We will send an RSVP closer to the date!
