The students, teachers, and staff of St. Paul Lutheran School would like to thank the PTO, JME, and Thrivent Action Grant member Nancy Hoerauf for generously donating the funds to allow us to purchase 2026-2027 St. Paul School Theme Verse T-Shirts. This year’s theme verse is “I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live” Psalm 146:2. Thank you!

The teachers will decide how to best distribute the candy in the upcoming days, weeks, or months. Thank you!

The Holly Jolly Christmas Store is right around the corner (December 10 & 11). 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!)

The PTO asks that no clothing items be donated this year. 

Additionally if any Thrivent members are interested in supplying a Thrivent Grant, please reach out to Jen Zielinski.

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.

Contact Jen Zielinski at 989-450-8057 with any questions.
