Catholic School Board Update
January 2023
Dear School Families, Teachers, and Staff,
Happy New Year! We hope you had a great Christmas break. As we get started on a new semester, we have a special double-update from the School Board, from our November and December meetings. This month, I have the opportunity to share with you. My name is Patrick Burke, and I am the father of Elle (6th), Paul (3rd) and Grace (2nd). I am happy to help serve the school that has been such a blessing to our children, families, and community.
Much was discussed at our final two meetings of 2022, and we’re excited to relay the news that St. Patrick School was recertified as a Lighthouse School once again! This is such a great accomplishment, and it’s a testament to the commitment, attitude and dedication of the teachers, students and staff. We are very blessed to be a part of it.
The school board is working on a budget proposal for the upcoming school year. We will revisit the budget during our January meeting and then submit for approval. As we work through the budget, we would like to continue to thank our parish and community for the support that keeps St. Patrick school up and running at a high level.
The board discussed the details and timing of our 2023 Annual Appeal, which is in progress. Remember the sponsorship deadline (for inclusion on the banner and printed items) is February 1. Prayerfully consider participating as the Annual Appeal, which is a significant source of funding for our school. With that in mind, the Main Event is coming up! Save the date! It’s set for February 18th, just a few weeks away. The Main Event is a great opportunity to support the school, thank our sponsors, pick up some fabulous prizes, and enjoy the company of our great school community. I hope you join us!
Coming on January 13th is the Open House, as registration begins soon for the upcoming school year. Families may sign up to visit Clover Patch Preschool or St. Patrick grades K-8. If you know someone who is considering St. Patrick, this is a great way to experience the school. Details are on the school website at: https://www.cfcatholicschool.org/visit-us
Thank you for your continued support of St. Patrick Catholic School.
On behalf of the School Board,
Patrick Burke
