St. Paul School is Up 26 Students
"Two years into the Archdiocese of Louisville’s Catholic Elementary School Plan, elementary and secondary schools are seeing an increase in both enrollment and diversity", said Leisa Schulz, superintendent of Catholic schools. "Total enrollment stands at 19,526 students, which is 264 more than last year."
Here’s a really encouraging article from today’s RECORD on the great work that we’re all doing together to expand the Catholic school experience to those who need it the most. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do at the Foundation! http://therecordnewspaper.org/student-enrollment-continues-grow/
Spread the word……Catholic schools in central Kentucky are on the rise!
God bless all of you, and thank you!

We Want Your Legos!
Parents, if you have any Legos in your home that you no longer use, please donate them to St. Paul's Creative Learning Center!!! Wondering why Legos are so valuable in school? Here are a few reasons:
- Legos provide tools that develop lateral thinking in a fun environment;
- Legos teach kids to think in three dimensions;
- Legos improve literacy as kids work with instructions;
- Legos develop problem-solving skills, organization, and planning by construction;
- Legos improve creativity;
- Legos enhance communication and critical thinking; and,
- Legos boost kids' motor development.
