Dear Saint Paul School Community,
For families with young children at home for the foreseeable future: God, help mothers and fathers to partner together creatively for the care and flourishing of their children.
Last night the
Saint Paul School PTO
held it’s closing meeting. I cannot thank the PTO EBoard – Lisa Richards, Maura Naughton, Katie McHardy, Cassie Siegmann, M.E. Bailey – Jean Schnorr and all of the parent volunteers for their dedication of time, energy and resources for the love of our school. The teachers, students and I are very lucky to have you!
I am speechless, and pleased to announce
our Annual Fund / Financial Aid Appeal has raised a total of $69,815 this school year.
In the past week over $58,000 was raised towards this appeal. The additional $11,500 was raised in our first appeal last December. I am forever grateful to all that contributed and feel relieved that no family, parent or student will be deferred from a Saint Paul School education next year.
If you ordered
Mother’s Day Treats
from Mrs. Knobloch do not forget to
pick-up tomorrow
between 9:00-11:00 am at school.
Today at noon
Saint Paul "Take-out"
will be launched. Chicken, broccoli and ziti and baked ziti are just some of the offerings! Look for an email later today with the link to place order.
All Saint Paul School students and parents are invited to participate in the
Rosary Club
on Monday at 9:00 am. Below is the ZOOM link and we will start by praying the “Sorrowful Mysteries”.
Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility. Please reach out with questions and comments and I will respond either via email, videoconference or phone.
As we close out
Teacher Appreciation Week
I am thankful for the Saint Paul School community for rallying together and educating our students during remote learning … thank you!
Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
Sincerely,
Principal

NOTE FROM SUPERINTENDENT THOMAS CARROLL
Dear Friends,
We are immensely grateful to all who have signed our petition to Governor Baker requesting that Catholic schools receive just funding from the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
or the CARES Act. We implore you to spread the word and share this petition with family members and others who value Catholic education, as the COVID-19 crisis is posing extreme financial hardship on our schools.
The
Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund
allows Governor Baker to provide much needed financial support to education related entities within the state using funds from the CARES Act. Massachusetts Catholic schools serve the academic, spiritual, and community support needs of many low-income, working-class and middle-income families. Public schools benefit from the tax dollars of Catholic school families and, at this time of unprecedented need, Governor Baker should value the work of Catholic schools with financial support through the relief fund.
We implore you to spread the word with three friends and let your voices be heard!

SUPERMOON
Last night, Grade 6 students joined Mrs. Lightfoot via Zoom to view the last supermoon of 2020. They learned about the common misconceptions people sometimes have about the Moon. Some families joined from their backyard while enjoying a nice fire in their fire pit. One family even (safely) viewed the Moon rising from their roof! Students shared their view of the Moon on the screen, which really made them feel connected.
What a magical night spent in the best seats in the Theater of God’s Universe!

During this time away from school, it is important for all of us to balance our body and mind. Principal Fasano has "switched it up" a bit this month and is challenging our students to take a break from their learning and see how
creative you can be based on this "National Day" calendar.
