MAP Testing-April 26-May 12
From April 26 to May 12, students in grades K through 8 will complete the third and final MAP® Growth test from NWEA®. We give students MAP Growth tests to determine their instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year (and from year to year) in Math (K-8), Reading (K-8), and Language (3-8). There is no preparation for these assessments besides making sure your child has plenty of rest and a good breakfast throughout the testing period of April 26 to May 12. As in the past, following the testing period, you will receive a report showing your child’s growth throughout this school year.

Spring Fling....WE NEED YOU!
Spring Fling Raffle Ticket Challenge
Spring Fling Raffle Tickets have been sent out, and Father Lane is challenging each class to sell those raffle tickets! Each family is encouraged to purchase raffle tickets to support our Catholic School. Whether one book or the entire set, any tickets you are able to sell will aid us in reducing our expenses and provide much needed revenue toward our excellent school. Spring Fling is one way we invest/subsidize our Catholic school and reduce our annual deficit.
The class with the greatest percentage of tickets sold will earn a pizza party. If multiple classes have 100% participation, each class will earn a pizza party courtesy of Father Lane.
If the entire school and every class makes its goal, Father Lane will shave his head on May 17 after the Saint Paschal Baylon Memorial Mass.
Please return ticket stubs and money to the school, making sure to indicate your family name and students' room numbers on the envelope. Good luck!
Beauty and the Beast Jr.
Please join us the weekend of May 13-15th as the 8th graders proudly present Beauty and the Beast Jr. Further details are noted below.

2021-2022 Yearbooks
Playground Volunteers Needed-Grades 1, Kindergarten, All Grades
We are asking that each family (mom, dad, grandma, etc.) choose at least two days to volunteer each time slot being 11:15 am-12:50 pm. There are many, many time slots open! We are so grateful for the help!
This is a great way for you to interact with your child and his/her classmates during the school day! Recess Volunteers should arrive to school at 11:10 and check in at the office. Duties will include supervising students at recess, escorting the students to and from the school doors. Volunteers will be with one school staff member each day to help direct.
Remember that after your two volunteer time slots, you are done for the year, as each month is assigned to a different grade.
Thank you again for your time and service to the students and teachers of SPB! Simply click on the following links to sign up: Grade 1, Kindergarten, All Grades (June)
Our sincere thanks to the following parents who were able to volunteer during the month of March: Mrs. Janelle Puntel, Mr. Tom Roddy, Mrs. Meghan D'Angelo, Mr. Kevin Cavolo, Mrs. Rachel Cahill, Mr. Brian Guzik, Mrs. Beth Juelich-Velotta, Mrs. Ruth Pak, Mrs. Christine Verdone, Mr. Brian Brown, Mrs. Nichole Brown, Mrs. Jessica Tripi, Mr. Anthony Tripi, Mrs. Lauren Jamieson, Mrs. Kim Santagata, and Mrs. Kate Roddy.

Ladies Guild Information
Kids’ Book Drive
We are collecting board books, picture books, and beginning Readers. Books featuring diversity are especially needed. Collection will be on April 12 at Family Service Night (also in Narthex this weekend). All books should be in good condition (new or gently-loved). Books will be distributed to children in Greater Cleveland who don’t have access to books. We cannot accept books for adults, magazines, textbooks, encyclopedias, coloring books, etc. THANK YOU!
Two-thirds of low-income families do not own a single children’s book. • 66% of Cleveland residents are functionally illiterate. • Cleveland has the second-highest child poverty rate of major cities in the U.S. (2018) at 48.7% — illiteracy is a root cause of poverty.
Remember, you can drop off your donated items (including books) in the church narthex after Mass on April 9 or 10, or before/after school on April 11 or 12th
