Principal’s Pen – May 4, 2018

What an OUTSTANDING Fine Arts Festival celebration on Tuesday! Thank you Mrs. Campbell, Ms. Popovchak-Erickson and Mr. Sladek for sharing your gifts so generously with our students. Our students gifted us with an evening of entertainment that was uplifting and fun – from bugs to boogie to balloons – we had it all! What a rich experience and strong legacy of culture our students have!

Thank you to all our BOX TOP clippers. SSPP netted $127.80 from those tiny box tops. Thank you to Trina Rauk for spearheading this program for us!

Golf Outing 2018 is Friday, May 11! Gather your fearsome foursome. Golf not your sport?? Come out for dinner! This fundraiser helps to hold our tuition to ZERO increase again this year. Join your friends for a great day and evening to celebrate all the wonderful things about Ss Peter & Paul School!

We can never say, “Thank You,” enough for all that our volunteers do for us during the school year! The Faculty would like to say “Thank You” by hosting Treats & Sweets in the Church Gathering Space after Mass on Mother’s Day, May 13, after the 10:30 Mass. Give yourself a few minutes or more to let us treat you in thanksgiving for all that you do for us.

Last day of school Friday, May 18, 2018 dismissal will be 11:15 am. There will be no Extended After School Care that day. Mass at 8:15 followed by awards followed by summer break!

Thank you to Mrs. Georgia Wilde for organizing “Spring Cleaning out the closets”. Thank you to all who donated clothes for kids right here in our parish and community. A true work of mercy.
