"The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation."

Exodus 15:2

PTO - Thank You

Thank you PTO for the beautiful “Welcome Back Wildcat” sign and coupons for Kona Ice on the first day of school. The colorful sign made a great backdrop for back to school photos. The Kona Ice was a wonderful treat for such a hot August day. Thank you for loving the St. Paul School Community–you are appreciated!

Wildcat Club First Quarter

The Wildcat Club is an organization for St. Paul students in grades 4-8.


During the First Quarter, the Wildcat Club will experience LEGO Building. Building with LEGO bricks improves cognitive development, fine motor skills, creativity, and problem solving. Students can bring their own LEGO bricks or can use the bricks provided by St. Paul.


Any student in 4-8th grade can participate as long as they have a signed permission slip. A paper copy went home with your students today. Students need not attend every single meeting. Principal Matyas will be the adult in charge.
