NEWS FROM DR. REID

 

Dear St. Patrick Families,

 

Faculty and staff voted on the 5th grader art design for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade (also our 5th grade t-shirt) and the winner is…Aahana Summitt! Congratulations Aahana.

What a wonderful Catholic Schools Week so far! The students learned about various community service opportunities, participated in many projects, and today, they did a whole school rosary. The students are ready to play in the basketball tournament versus the faculty/staff. The 5th grade parents are invited to watch their 5th grader play in the game. Tip-off is at 1:30pm. Stay tuned for the final score. We've also been uploading pictures to our Facebook and Instagram account each day. Make sure to check them out!

We wish Vernon Corquaye good luck on the MACS-wide Spelling Bee on Tuesday, 2/7 as he represents St. Patrick.

 

Save the date:

  • 5th grade musical scheduled for May 16th. Doors will open at 6:00pm, show will start promptly at 6:30pm. More information will be shared at a later date.

  • Classroom photos are on Friday, February 10th.

 

Reminders:

  • The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is back! On March 11, 2023, in uptown Charlotte. Festivities are scheduled for 10 am to 2 pm and the parade is from 11 am to 1 pm.

  • Mass uniforms every Friday.

Blessings,

 

Dr. Reid
