Soles4Souls
St. Patrick School in cooperation with the 395-basketball league, has agreed to set up a collection box in the front lobby of the school. You can bring in any reasonably used shoes and That’s it! Soles4souls takes care of the rest. Once we deliver them to the collection site, they are reconditioned to be distributed to the needy. Thank you for your help.

Dismissal
We ask that you do not go into the church hall after dismissal to let the children play. Thank you for your understanding.

Morning Drop-off
In the morning we must ask you once again not to double park on the side street or drop children off in the middle of the road. We have children running across the road, which is very dangerous. You may drive into the back area and drop off behind the line, so they students may walk safely to the school.

Pre-School
Plans are moving forward for our preschool; as soon as we have the logistics worked out we will let you know.






Winter hats
We have winter knit hats for sale in the office with the school name. They are 10.00 and go toward our general fundraising. Also still available are car magnets with St. Patrick Cathedral, they are 8.00.



Writing skills
We are working very hard to help continue to improve our students writing skills. It is very important that you work with us as well and proofread and sign any rough drafts. Students are asked not to use the computer to edit, but first self edit to improve their own sentence writing skills.




Ash Wednesday
Wednesday the 17th is Ash Wednesday and we will be attending mass. You are free to join us. During Lent we will also be going to church each Friday. Please be aware that students must wear their regular school uniforms on those days.

Presidents Weekend –
We will be off for the 15th and 16th only and return to school on the 18th, for our winter break.





Half-day reminders
Please mark your calendars for the 5th and 12th which will be half-days with early dismissal at 11:50.

Concerns or Questions
Once again if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to come into the office. Or if it is specific to your child, see the teacher first.


Box Tops for Education
The next Box Top submission is quickly approaching. Please send in any BoxTops you may have so that they can be included in the February submission. Let's try to beat our last total of 558.00. Thank you for helping our school!
