The 4th-8th grade First Quarter Wildcat Club had the opportunity to complete a Service Project for the school. St. Paul was gifted a Thrivent Action Grant to prep the upstairs boys bathroom for a bathroom stall door paint refresh. The Wildcat Club volunteers spent three Fridays in September from 3:15 pm-4:15 pm using gloves, magic erasers, washcloths, and water to peel old blue paint and white primer. The volunteers were good listeners, hard workers, and exhibited the desire to help our school.
Mrs. Matyas would like to thank: Ethan Matyas, Tyler Burk, Shay Kukulski, Isaac Matyas, Sophia Gettel, and Leo Behmlander for volunteering in service to our school.
The boys bathroom received a fresh coat of paint on Thursday, September 29. Thank you Wildcats for your help!

National Lutheran School Accreditation
Parent Survey
| | | | |
Dear St. Paul Parents,
As a part of the accreditation process, St. Paul Lutheran School is inviting you to complete a Parent Survey.
The survey has 7 sections: Lutheran Education, Education Quality, Leadership, Communication, Relationships, Facilities, and Finance. It is estimated to take about 5 minutes to complete.
The survey is anonymous.
The Parent Survey will be open until Friday, October 17. Your feedback is important to us. If you have any questions please contact the school office.
To Note: This is a different survey than ParentPulse. The questions are generated from the National Lutheran School Accreditation process. 4 groups of people are being surveyed during the accreditation process: parents, students (grades 4-8), teachers, and board members.
