What
a delightful, well-attended Gift Gathering Party we all enjoyed at the lovely
home of Marian and Joseph Tutera! We sincerely want to thank the Tuteras for
hosting a wonderful party on Saturday night to kick off the celebration of the
50 & Fabulous Auction gala!
About 150 guests enjoyed savory bites and beverages from Lon Lane’s
Inspired Occasions while marveling at the playful birthday balloon creations
amidst the Tutera’s magnificent home. Another big thank you to Ann Horton and
Jenny Murphy for orchestrating a very fun “birthday” party, as well as to 26
host couples and all those who attended for getting the 50th
anniversary festivities off to a fabulously fun start! Our auction chairs, Ann Long and Mandy
Burditt, also deserve a lot of credit for the work they continue to do to make
all of this happen for us! If you
weren’t able to attend but would like to donate to the auction, please contact
Katie Gregg in the development department.
First
grade students will present “Hooray for the USA”, their culminating
presentation to showcase all they’ve learned about our great country, on
Wednesday, Feb. 6 at 9:15 a.m. The show will be presented in the north wing
multipurpose room and will educate and enlighten all of the audience.
Our prekindergarten
students are ready to dazzle you with their talents and joy of performing! Come see their music program on Friday,
February 8 at 9:15 a.m. in the north wing multipurpose room. Mrs. Haskamp and
these young children are sure to bring a smile to your face!
Re-enrollment
contracts are due this Friday, February 8. Please return your contract and deposit to
hold your child’s position in next year’s class. We look forward to continuing our work and
play with you!
Coffees
are being held this week at 8:30 a.m. in the Garden Room of the Church.
ECC this morning
Lower School on Tuesday, Feb. 5
Please remember that the coffees
are not the place to discuss personnel concerns and that, because there are
many grade levels represented, issues that pertain to one class or grade
should, as always, be taken to the teachers at that grade level and then the
Division Head. Teachers, Division Heads,
and I are always willing to meet with you about your concerns and we sincerely
appreciate those of you who come in to share with us your insight in this
way. I cannot overemphasize how much our
teachers and we want you to talk first to the teachers about your specific
views on their class or grade level.
NEEDED
after school on Tuesday, February 12, eight more families to drop off our cups
of 50 birthday kisses to surrounding businesses.
This is such an easy, feel-good opportunity for your family. We’ll
deliver to your student’s classroom a bag of five cups with kisses, tagged and
ready to deliver. You’ll drive each of them to a different business, walk
it in, smile in an ever-charming St. Paul’s fashion, leave your cup of good
will and be on your way. Please help us! I promise that you will be
a blessing – and you will be blessed! To sign up, please e-mail Chaplain
Nolan: pbauer@speds.org
Please don’t
forget that you should be receiving your monthly St. Paul’s statements electronically,
at the email address listed in the directory. We made this transition in June
2012, along with adding online payment options, for the convenience of our
families. Paper statements are no longer being mailed, which allows St. Paul’s
to save trees, printing, and postage costs. The move to e-statements has proven
very successful, but if for some reason you are not receiving your statements,
please contact Christina Cutcliffe at ccutcliffe@speds.org.
The Sixth Grade
Showcase was a tremendous success, thanks to our talented Mrs. Everly and her
energetic, creative students!
A good time was had by all – with much laughter and great appreciation
for all the work involved and the joy produced!
