Iowa Assessments April 23-27

Next week students in grades 3-8 will be taking Iowa Assessments. Please avoid pulling your children out of school for appointments if at all possible. It is also important for children to come to school having had a good nights sleep and breakfast. Also remember to send a water bottle and healthy snack. Although the assessments are just a snapshot of your child’s learning, just like when taking a photograph, we want the best snapshot we can get.

30th Annual Teacher and Staff Appreciation Dinner

BACK TO THE FUTURE CLUB

Denning Hall

Friday, May 4th, 2018

Cocktails/Social 5:45PM

Seating for Dinner begins at 6:45PM

In 1989, a dedicated group of concerned parents gathered to discuss how they could best support the teachers and staff of St. Paul’s School, and after several meetings formed the Future Club.  The Club’s mission was simple:  “To plan and provide for the long-term financial well-being of St. Paul’s School teachers and staff.”

After nearly 30 years of successful dinners, fundraisers, and membership drives, The Future Club’s mission remains unchanged, and over this time the Future Club has been able to provide consistent financial support, primarily through contributions to the teachers and staff retirements. Presently our goal is to build the Future Fund Endowment so we are able to sustainably support the financial well being of St. Paul School’s teacher and staff well into the future.

Please join us at this year’s “Back to the Future Club” teacher and staff appreciation dinner where we will celebrate 30 years of fellowship, generosity, and catholic education. We will honor and show appreciation for all that the teachers and staff have done and continue to do for our children, all while enjoying a fine dining experience of the highest quality.
