December 5-11th
A Christmas tradition in the middle school is our Secret Angel gift exchange. Students draw the name of one of their classmates and surprise this person with treasures and treats between December 1 and our last full day, December 21. Please limit the gift(s) total to $10. Some students provide smaller gifts more frequently (often one per week) while other students leave hints and give one a little bit larger gift. Either way, know that this is a lot of fun. 🙂
Many of you will be reading a book with your families called The Family Under the Bridge. Just like them, we know that there are people who don’t have homes of their own. Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge is an organization that wants to help people in need. St. Paul will be taking in donations for this community organization until Wednesday, December 15th. Mr. Bob’s needs men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, winter gear, and hygiene projects, like soap and toothpaste. Donations will be accepted in the south wing entrance, the main school entrance. We hope to fill the barrels!
