Supporting Our Troops 

Our school family has a parent that has recently been deployed to Iraq and will be serving there through October. We are putting together care packages to send to him and those that he serves with. Items we are collecting include: trail mix, beef jerky, nuts, gum, non-melting candy, greeting cards, cookies, Twizzlers, coffee, puzzles, single serve hydrating drink mixes, toothbrushes, disposable razors, shaving lotion and shampoo. If you would like to send any of these items in our care packages, please drop off items in the Welcome Center by June 3.

End-of-Year School Picnic

It is our tradition here at St. Paul to have an all-school picnic on Track and Field Day.  This year Track and Field Day is scheduled for Thursday May 30th.  The picnic will include a hot dog, watermelon, chips, bottled water and a dessert.  To plan for the picnic you will need to sign-up and pay for lunch.  Parents who will be here at school that day are encouraged to join us.  Each lunch will cost $2.00.  Additional hot dogs can be purchased for $1.00 each.  Please note, this lunch is not in conjunction with the lunch program, so payment must be included with each lunch order. Please fill out the lunch slip that went home with your child earlier this week, and send it back to school by Tuesday, May 21st.
