Principal Post

November 16, 2022

We have a short week next week due to Thanksgiving. No school Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday! I will not be sending out a Principal Post next week due to the short week.

SPS Blessings

We have so many blessings to thank God for here at St. Paul’s!

• Supportive families who work as a team with our educators.
• Dedicated faculty and staff who have a vocation for Catholic education and sharing their faith with our students, including office and maintenance staff.
• Flexible and highly qualified substitute teachers and aides who are with us when our regular faculty and staff need to be out of school. We couldn’t survive without these wonderful educators!
• Volunteers who step up to help so many things from putting together lockers, to changing out gym lights, selling Panther Perks, putting on the Block Party and Trunk or Treat, to stepping up to direct our musical. We would be lost without our volunteers.
• A dedicated Pastor, Fr. Bruce, and the parish staff who see the school and parish as one and work as an evangelization team to bring our families and students into a relationship with Christ.
• A Home and School Association that works tirelessly to provide fun and funds to enrich the educational and social experiences of our students and families.

God has been so good to us, so as Thanksgiving approaches, I give praise and thanks for all He provides for us!

Our Father in Spanish

Mrs. Paar has been teaching the students the Our Father in Spanish. This week we have been praying it over the intercom for morning prayer. I’ve put the prayer below if you would like to use this with your family at home.

Padre nuestro,
que estás en el cielo.
Santificado sea tu nombre.
Venga tu reino.
Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.
Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.
Perdona nuestras ofensas,
como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden.
No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.
Amén.
