Hi SPS Families,
I can't believe we are one week away from Thanksgiving! I am extremely thankful for the opportunity I have been given here at St. Patricia and I am thankful for the great community of students, parents, families, and staff that came with this opportunity!
We had our Thanksgiving feast for PreK-2nd grade students yesterday. We could not have pulled this event off without the help of our parent volunteers who helped setup, prepare the food, decorate, donate food and water, and clean up. The kids and staff had a great time and it brought back some memories for me as well!
Report cards for the first trimester will go home with the kids tomorrow, Friday. If you have any questions about any grades, please contact that teacher directly or talk to them at parent/teacher conferences. Please remember that there is no school on Tuesday because of parent/teacher conferences.
I want to let you know that our PE teacher, Mrs. Debbie Page-O'Connell, has resigned her PE teaching position here at SPS. Mrs. Page-O'Connell will be taking care of her mom on a full-time basis and needs to focus on the needs of her mom at this time. Please keep Debbie and her family in your thoughts and prayers. I am in the process of finding a replacement for Mrs. Page-O'Connell and I will keep you updated as the weeks progress.
We have had an abundance of students out sick from school this past week. We are trying our best to make sure that any illnesses don't spread here at school so if your child(ren) exhibits any symptoms that may be contagious, please keep them home from school for the day.
As always, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me and I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks!
