Dear St. Patrick families,

I would first like to thank Dr. Illa, the teachers and all of the students for another wonderful Christmas program. I would like to thank everyone who was able to stay for the fifth grade performance. It was a fun and entertaining performance, and I know they appreciated your attendance.

Thank you again for your cooperation in making the car dismissal flow smoothly. There are still a few cars that want to cut into the line, but that will be worked out. So long as you see cars lined up, please go behind the church. If one car holds up traffic, we will end back where we started. Also, I observed at our morning drop off, cars are also following the single file flow of traffic and students crossing in front of their cars. Both of these procedures will be very important when the weather gets worse.

Next Wednesday, we will celebrate Advent with an all school prayer service at 10:40 AM in the church. All are invited to pray with us.

Next Wednesday is also the parent band concert. That will take place in the church basement at 7 PM. The school band concert will take place Thursday morning at 9:30 AM.

Next Friday is our last fifty cent dress down day for this year.

Tuition statements went home today. Monthly tuition payments are due by the 15th of the month in order to avoid a late fee.

During our last week of school before Christmas break students may wear their St. Patrick Christmas shirts from the previous two years. On our last day before break, student may wear red and green tops with their uniform bottoms.

Have a great weekend! And, as always ….. GO PANTHERS!
