News From Mrs. Bethune:
Hello all,
We have had a wonderful week with beautiful weather. It has been a blessing to get outside with the students. We hope the great weather continues.
We are looking forward to Red Ribbon Week (starting on Monday). Please make sure your read the dress code and note above about what the dress up days are for the week. It is important to us at the school for your child to not wear anything too tight or revealing. Our job is to keep the school Christ-centered and this allows that to happen. We know how much fun they have dressing up and we as a staff will participate in the fun as well! If you have any questions about dress code, please be sure to ask.
1st Quarter HONOR ROLL will be announced after Mass on Monday morning. All parents and parishioners are welcome to come and support our St. Patrick Catholic School Scholars.
1st quarter report cards are coming home today. Please be sure to look at the social growth charts and report cards and sign the envelope. Please have your child return the envelope to their teacher. We require students to bring the envelope back signed so we know a parent/guardian has seen it. Teachers will be happy to answer questions about grades and social growth charts if you have them. Please also be sure to log onto PowerSchool to continue to see the grades updated by the teachers.
Have a great weekend!
God Bless,
Mrs. Leah Bethune

Very Special Thank You!
The Spookghetti Committee would like to thank all of the volunteers that helped out in any way last week for our Spookghetti Supper! We could not have pulled it off without all of you wonderful parents who put in the time and effort to make it an awesome experience for all of our kids. It was a HUGE success, bringing in almost $1,100!! That is phenomenal! Proceeds will benefit the playground fund. It is a super fun event and we look forward to doing it again next year! Thanks again!
