Miss Rachel Abraham has received a Call to serve as principal and part-time teacher at Immanuel Frankentrost. Please keep Miss A in your prayers as she deliberates her call. See letter below.

"Dear St. Paul Family,

I am writing to let you know that I have received a Call to be principal and part-time teacher at Immanuel Frankentrost. What a blessing it is to serve in our Lutheran schools, sharing the love of Jesus with so many children.

Please keep me in your prayers as I faithfully deliberate between my current Call to St. Paul and this new one to Immanuel. I pray that God leads me to see where He would have me best serve Him. I know that God has great plans for both Immanuel and St. Paul.

I am hoping to give you an answer by the end of February. Thanks for all your love and support.

Your sister in Christ,

Rachel Abraham/Miss A."

Our St. Paul School is planning some fun activities for Reading Month in March, and we will have weekly prize drawings. We are looking for $5 gift card donations (e.g. Five Below, Target, McDonalds, Culver's, Walmart), or monetary donations. Please contact Andrea Dent if you have any questions.

What a blessing to have the 100th Day and Healthy Heart Challenge on the same day.

Due to the unique nature of the celebrations, St. Paul is inviting students to dress like a centenarian (someone who is 100 years old) and/or bring your athletic shorts and St. Paul spirit wear for the Healthy Heart Challenge athletic activities from 12:30-1:30 pm.

Athletic shorts should be modest (not exceeding 4 inches from the knee).

The teachers have an opportunity to receive ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experience) training by a certified teacher during the afternoon of Friday, February 21, for Professional Development. This opportunity is linked to our partnership with our School Counselor via Wellspring. 

Extended Care will be offered on Friday, February 21, starting at 11:30 am. Please mark your calendars and note this schedule change.

Do you need Extended Care on Friday, February 21 after the early dismissal at 11:30 a.m.? If so, you need to sign up using the online form below, contacting the office, or Mrs. Kramer.

We will need at least 7 children signed up in order to provide care. Please plan to bring a sack lunch from home or order a peanut butter & jelly meal below.

Congratulations to the students who will be in this year’s Spelling Bee on Friday, February 21, at 9:30 a.m. in the gym. Families are invited to watch!

This summer a number of St. Paul families are hoping to send their campers during Week 6 (July 27-August 2).
