After Every Storm Comes A Raintbow
Father John captured a picture of a radiant rainbow arching over our beloved school. This simple yet beautiful photo reminds us all to pause, take a breath, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us each day. Just as the colors of a rainbow come together to form a breathtaking sight, let us also come together to celebrate the unity and positivity that enrich our Catholic school community.

Cross-Country Tryouts - 8/30
We would like to inform you of a change in the schedule for the cross-country tryouts. Tryouts will now be held on Wednesday, August 30th after school. We understand the importance of this event and want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to Coach K. at Kyle.Madeja@sapsaints.org.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing the enthusiastic participation of our students on the new date.
Parent Volunteer Opportunities
As we kick off the school year, we're excited to offer various volunteer opportunities that contribute to the success of our school community.
If you have already signed up during our recent Curriculum Nights, we want to express our gratitude for your commitment. Your dedication is truly appreciated, and your volunteer preferences have been recorded.
For those who haven't yet signed up, we kindly ask that you use the following Google Form to indicate your availability and preferences for volunteer events: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrKXsthH3_9X5EqVOvh2aBun5HUwSyjK29tZhhh0AeWwRilg/viewform?usp=sf_link. Your involvement is crucial to creating enriching experiences for our students.
We kindly remind all parents to volunteer for a minimum of two events per school year. Your participation goes a long way in fostering a thriving school environment.
As event dates draw closer, we will be in touch to help you schedule your volunteering "shift". Please note that all volunteers must be CMG certified, and their fingerprints must be completed and cleared through the Archdiocese, ensuring a secure and safe atmosphere for all. If you completed your fingerprinting during Curriculum Night, please make sure to follow through with completing your CMG Connect online course.
Thank you for your continuous support and dedication. Together, we create remarkable experiences for our students.
Remember to Drive Safely
As we strive to create a smooth experience for all families, we kindly request your support in adhering to a few guidelines for drop-off and pick-up.
Stay in Your Vehicle: When dropping off and picking up your children, please remain in your car at all times. This ensures the safety of all students and helps maintain a steady flow of traffic.
Designated Drop-off and Pick-up Areas: Use the designated cones as points for your child's entry and exit from the vehicle. This organized approach minimizes congestion and keeps everyone moving swiftly.
Collective Effort: By working together, we can create a seamless process that benefits everyone. Your contribution to a safe and efficient routine is greatly appreciated.
Safety is our top priority, and by driving carefully within the parking lot, we can collectively ensure the well-being of our students and families. Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation!

Lifeskill of the Week
Our Life Skill for this week will focus on "Cooperation: Work together toward a common goal." Working together with other people may often present challenges. It may call for us to compromise, listen to other ideas, and put aside our own plans in order to achieve a common goal. We must be effective communicators if we are to be successful at cooperating. The School Wide Learning Expectation, SLE, of Being an Effective Communicator calls on us to speak well and listen to others. Both of those components are essential for productive cooperation. Being able to share your thoughts and ideas with others in a constructive manner will help you when cooperating with others. Knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it goes a long way toward building bridges of understanding when cooperating.
