Parents and Friends

Dear Parents & Friends,

First, I want to thank Shanna Mattson for the fabulous job she did as president this year. The school is a better place from all of her hard work. Her footsteps will be hard to follow! Some of you know we have the Mattsons to thank for our wonderful library, so in Shanna's honor, a donation to the library has been made for all her great work.

Secondly, I am very excited to be next year's president. I look forward to working with all of you on next year's projects, parties, and fundraisers. Please consider joining on of the Parents & Friends committtees. There is a place for everyone whether you are a creative person, a numbers person, a working parent or a stay-at-home parent. We would love to have your help. It is a wonderful way to participate in our children's school and a great way to make lifetime friendships. I will be around all summer. Please feel free to e-mail or call me with any ideas or questions. Once again, many thanks to Shanna for all of her hard work and love she poured into St. Paul's.

Have a wonderful summer!
                                                                                                     Sincerely,
                                                                                                           Ellen Hack

English Caravan For Sale

A generous donation has been made to the school in the form of an English Caravan. The former owner would like it to be sold, so the profits may go to St. Paul's School. It needs some TLC on the outside, but the inside has fabulous woodwork. If you are interested in purchasing this or know of someone who might be interested please contact the school. Take a look at some pictures of the caravan below.

You will receive your child's final report card, along with their individual scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, in the mail in June. Also in this envelope will be the immunization and wellness form for next year. Please take this form to your child's doctor over the summer and have him/her fill it out. You may send it in as soon as it is filled out or return it at the back-to-school picnic.
