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!

 

Candy Bar Donation - Thank You!

St. Paul would like to thank Sharen from the Forward Convenience Store on Westside Saginaw Rd. for choosing our students to be the recipients of a donation of candy. Customers were encouraged to purchase candy for our students throughout the month of September. This week Sharen dropped off 25 candy bars! The teachers will decide how to best distribute the candy in the upcoming days, weeks, or months. Thank you!

Wildcat Club First Quarter

The Wildcat Club is an organization for St. Paul students in grades 4-8.


During the First Quarter, the Wildcat Club will experience Hacky Sack. Playing hacky sack (also known as footbag) improves balance, agility, and hand-eye-foot coordination while providing a fun, low-impact form of exercise. Students can bring their own hacky sack or use a hacky sack provided by St. Paul. 


Any student in 4-8th grade can participate as long as they have a signed permission slip. A paper copy went home with your students today. Students need not attend every single meeting. Principal Matyas will be the adult in charge.
