Principal's Post
Dear Irish Families,
Living Nativity Photos
Click HERE to view photos from our 2019 Living Nativity that took place on December 5th. Our 3rd-8th graders, led by Ms. Giffin, did wonderfully! We are working on putting together a link for the K-2 Christmas Program photos.
Have you recorded your 2019-2020 Family Service Hours in RenWeb/FACTS, yet?
Next week, our Family Service Hours Coordinator (Ms. Baumann) and I, will be sending home letters for our families to share what hours we see that have been recorded.
Remember that all K-8 families must fulfill 20 Family Service Hours by May 1, 2020 to avoid being billed $10 per hour not fulfilled. *Two of the hours must come from attending one of the two General Parent Meetings. We already held our September Meetings. Our last pair of General Parent Meetings are in March.
If you decide you would prefer to forego the 20 Family Service Hours requirement, you must use the "buy out" method and you can pay cash or check (written to St. Patrick Catholic School). Have questions?
Email jkent@spcsjax.org or PTAFamilyServiceHours@spcsjax.org
Your Partner in Faith & Education,
Mr. Kent
Proud Principal
MOST SUCCESSFUL Color Run Fundraiser EVER!
How successful was it? What are we doing with funds?
We are gathering quotes and will be putting the funds towards a well and irrigation system for our new multipurpose athletic field. The total cost of both the well and irrigation system will be over $30,000 but it is necessary to complete these projects because we need to maintain our new field that we invest considerable money into. Our students and School and Parish community, as well as the greater community at large, can benefit from this new field. It's a GREAT TIME to be a part of the St. Patrick Catholic School family. The BEST is yet to come!
Slime the Principal - We DID it!
Because we raised $20,000+, students will get to Slime the Principal on Wednesday December 11th at 2:00 PM. Parents are welcome to join us!
Principal Kent Kisses a Pig - We DID it!
Because we raised $25,000+ Principal Kent will keep his promise to KISS A PIG! This will happen on Thursday December 19th at 7:50 AM Morning Assembly. Come see Principal Kent pucker up!
Students Earned Free Dress Out and Extra Recess
Because we raised $10,000+ students will get a FREE schoolwide dress out day. Because we raised $15,000+ students will get 15 minutes of extra recess.
