Dear St. Paul Church & School Families,

The Church and School Winter Apparel store is now open! You can find this year's "Ugly Christmas" shirt, winter hats, & socks, along with a variety of other items.

The store will be open now until November 18. Orders will then be fulfilled and delivered to the school by December 9.

This is the second of three campaigns throughout the 2025-2026 school year. If you have any questions, please contact office@stpaulbaycity.org.

Thank you for supporting St. Paul Lutheran Church & School.

St. Paul collected $119.23 during the First Quarter. This money will be sent with our November Food Drive donations to aid Zion Lutheran Church’s Food Pantry. Thank you for your generosity!

To show our gratitude and appreciation for the blessings that God has given us, St. Paul Lutheran School will be collecting non-perishable food items from November 6-21, 2025.

Please have your student drop off food items on the table in the main hallway.

All donations will benefit Zion Lutheran Church’s Food Pantry. Our goal is to collect 300 food items. Thank you for your generosity and for helping to make someone’s Thanksgiving a little brighter.

The next PTO Fundraiser will be Tuesday, November 18, 2025. Please see below for more information.

"The Holly Jolly Christmas Store is right around the corner (December 11 & 12). The Holly Jolly Christmas Store is a fully donation funded event, for students of St. Paul to shop for Christmas gifts for family. During the Holly Jolly Christmas store, students will shop with their classes to purchase gifts ranging in price from $1-$5 for family members. Gifts will go home with the students wrapped and ready to be delivered at Christmas. 

To make this a successful event for St. Paul Students, the PTO needs your help! 

We are accepting donations of large shopping bags (for students to bring gifts home in-large plastic or reusable bags), gift bags, tissue paper, tape, along with new and gently used items for moms, dads, grandparents, and siblings. (We never have enough mens and older boy items so those are a top priority, but anything is appreciated!)

Donation boxes are located inside the main entrance at the school and in the Ministry Center. Every donation helps make the event special for our students.

We are also looking for Holly Jolly volunteers to set up and work the event. We appreciate as many volunteers as possible to make this event as magical as we can for the kids! Please sign up here and bring your cheer!"

Contact Kayla Schlicker at 989-450-8057 with any questions.

Thank you to the St. Paul Teachers and Staff for making this year’s VIP Day such an enjoyable experience. The delicious refreshments, warm hospitality, and purposeful Chapel message all made the day great.

VIP Chapel offering was $444.76 and will be used for St. Paul student financial assistance.

Mrs. Sue Headings our Head Cook at St. Paul Lutheran School would like to invite St. Paul Church Members to consider the “Adopt Our Cold Bar Program”. You can learn more about the “Adopt our Cold Bar Program” in the brochure located near the ramp of the Ministry Center or by clicking here.

No time to shop?! Monetary donations are always welcomed and appreciated!



• Thank you to an anonymous donor for sponsoring the cold bar with a Thrivent grant for the week of November 3-7

Ladies Aid Bake Sale committee is looking for some help to get ready for the big day. On Thursday, December 4, we need fryers for Eisenkuechle and Friday December 5, we need bread makers. We would welcome any help and any shifts that you are available. If interested or have any questions, call Diane Behmlander at 989-297-3485, Jennifer Zielinski at 989-450-9805, Clarissa Marter at 989-980-0090 or Christy Swartz at 989-245-0796. Thank you!

To accommodate the increase in enrollment, Preschool, Young 5’s, and Kindergarten will have their own Christmas Program on Sunday, December 14, at 2:00 pm. Please mark your calendars and plan accordingly.

The Wildcat Club is an organization for St. Paul students in grades 4-8. During the Second Quarter, the Wildcat Club will experience Treasure Hunting. Treasure hunts are a great way for students to enhance problem-solving skills, boost creativity, and improve communication. Students will have opportunities to both create treasure hunts and complete treasure hunts. 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 have been sent home with students.

Thank you to the 47 entries representing 27 families and looking for 112 tickets. St. Paul was gifted 40 tickets to raffle. The following students (and their families) were drawn:

·        Eilainah, Charlotte, Joseph Hill

·        Brooks, Gibson, Henry Boven

·        Brynlee & Ryker Kolberg

·        Nataly & Evan Williams

·        Henry Schwartz

·        Addilyn Wheeler

·        Jonah & Leland Arnold

·        Mila Schwab
