NEWS FROM DR. REID Dear St. Patrick Families, When hurricane Ian hit Florida, our 2nd graders decided to write to the 2nd grade students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School to see how they were and if they needed anything. Our students (and families) donated many items to help the students. They sorted, folded, and packed up the items. We are so proud of their kindness and thoughtfulness of others. |
|
|
Our 3rd and 1st grade prayer partners made Christmas wreaths for the Hospitality House. They even were able to deliver them to the facility. Hospitality House loved the wreaths! |

The students have been working hard preparing for their upcoming Christmas Concert at The Fine Arts Center at CCHS on Monday, 12/12. Please have your student there by 6:00pm. Once you drop off your child/ren with their teachers in the lobby, please have a seat in the auditorium. Parking is available in the parking deck. We will start promptly at 6:30pm. The St. Patrick Annual Fund mailings went out to families, friends, supporters, and alumni of St. Patrick. Funds raised will help support teacher professional development, aid those in financial need, and provide campus improvements. One hundred percent of the funds raised through the St. Patrick Annual Fund will remain at St. Patrick to support the school. No matter the dollar amount, your gift will have an immediate impact and allow the mission and vision of St. Patrick to continue. Your support is truly appreciated! Don’t forget our Baby Shower for Jesus. Donations to MiraVia are being accepted until Thursday, 12/15, which is also a Dress Down Day. For more information see below under school news. See everyone on Friday. Blessings, Dr. Reid |
