Miss Abraham - Acceptance Letter

"St. Paul Family,

After many hours talking with the Lord in prayer, I have decided to accept the Call to Immanuel Frankentrost. It is with a heavy heart that I think of leaving all the people here who have blessed my life the past seventeen years, the many people who I now consider good friends, and even family. I know that the Lord’s work is being done here at St. Paul and I know it will continue to be done. The Lord used me in many ways, helping me to grow, with all of your help. But I feel He is Calling me to take a new step to continue His work. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue working for Him, and I will continue to pray for St. Paul.

I consider it a blessing to be able to serve at another one of our Franconian colonies and I look forward to still being in the area, finding new ways of interacting with St. Paul. I look forward to spending the remainder of the school year here with all of you. And I thank you for all you do to further His kingdom.

Your sister in Christ, Rachel Abraham/Miss A."

March 16 - Church Voter's Meeting

Please keep the March 16, St. Paul Lutheran Church Voter’s Meeting in your prayers. We are looking to extend Divine Calls (or contracts) to two teachers. One to serve as a full-time Fourth Grade Teacher, and one to serve as full-time Third Grade teacher. We give thanks to God for this opportunity, and thank the Voter’s for approving the new Fourth Grade position during the January’s Voter’s Meeting.

Extended Care

It is that time of year when we reevaluate and take stock of our supplies. If you have not brought in the initial supplies requested at the beginning of the school year, now is the time to do so. Currently our greatest need is paper towels, we have enough Kleenex and wipes, Your continued support is greatly appreciated. Thank-you! Mrs. Kramer

Wildcat Club Third Quarter - Origami

The Wildcat Club is an organization for St. Paul students in grades 4-8. During the Third Quarter, the Wildcat Club will experience Origami. Origami helps students to develop concentration, visual-spatial reasoning, improve eye-hand coordination, boost creativity, and enhance patience and persistence.

Students can bring their own origami paper and origami books or use resources supplied by St. Paul. Any student in 4th-8th grade can participate as long as they have a signed permission slip. Students need not attend every single meeting. Principal Matyas will be the adult in charge. Paper copies of the permission slip went home today with students.

Operetta

Join us on Friday, March 14, at either 1:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium to see Grades 5-8 perform the operetta “Hans Bronson's Gold Medal Mission.” The student body will see the dress rehearsal the Thursday prior to the performance. There is no cost to attend, but a free-will offering will be taken.
