Lost and Found...
In an effort to reduce the amount of items that make it to our Lost and Found, please label you child's items, in particular don't forget about those jackets, lunchboxes, sweaters and sweatshirts!!!!
Halloween Reminders!
After the 9:30 a.m. prayer service, students will go outside to "Walk for the Homeless." The students will walk approximately one mile with their buddies. The entire walk will remain on campus, therefore, no permission slip is needed this year. We do ask for each student to bring in one dollar to donate towards supporting St. Paul's Homeless Shelter. If you would like to donate additional money, you may.
Following the walk, students will have their lunches. After lunch, students in grades K through 5th will put on their Halloween costumes for the parade. Middle school students will go outside to watch the parade. Please do not have your child(ren) wear make-up or a mask as part of their costume at school. All are welcome to gather around the circle to watch the parade. When the parade ends, students will go back to their classrooms to participate in Halloween parties. At this time, only those who have signed up to volunteer are invited to stay.
Too Much Candy?!?
Welcome to the 3rd annual RSPS Halloween Candy Drive sponsored by the RSPS Health Council! Students are encouraged to bring in excess and unwanted Halloween candy November 1-8, which will be collected and secured by the Health Council. The homeroom classes which bring in the most candy by weight will be rewarded with an extra outdoor recess period. There will be 3 winning classes; one each from the PreK-2nd grade, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th. The winning classes will be announced by the Health Council during morning announcements on Friday, November 8.
Collected candy will be donated. Thank you support of our initiative!

Eagle Scout Candidate Looking for Donations!
Back to School Night Annual Fund Campaign Update
As discussed at Back to School Night, the annual fund is not a new campaign or unique to our school. Like all other private educational institutions, RSPS relies on the annual fund to help us offer competitive tuition, retain talented faculty, provide outstanding academics and offer extraordinary enrichment programs that make the RSPS experience so meaningful for our students.
At the end of October, the annual fund campaign will begin with letters, social media posts and outreach efforts. Donations can be made online, by check, cash or through your FACTS account. In order to realize our goal, we are recommending a $250 gift per family, but appreciate any gift amount. Gift amounts of $250 or more will be recognized on a donor wall at the spring gala and donors will be invited to attend a principal’s reception at the conclusion of the campaign.
Visit https://www.resstpaul.org/giving/make-a-gift-today to make a gift or contact Stephanie Finamore with any questions.
