What another amazing week, here at St. Paul! Our hearts are full as we celebrated Valentine's Day and all things love this past week. Next week will be Random Acts of Kindness week- we look forward to continuing to spread the themes of Valentine's Day throughout the week!
Congratulations to our Soccer Team who participated in the St. Nicholas Tournament on Thursday! Thank you to Mr. Patan and Mrs. Silva-Ludtke for their support of the team in coaching and preparing for the tournament.
We held our Open House this past Wednesday, and we enjoyed a wonderful turn out. A big thank you goes out to our Grade 6 students who volunteered to be school ambassadors on Wednesday night. We received many compliments on how kind, polite and helpful they were. Thank you Grade 6- you make our hearts proud!
Wishing all of our families a wonderful, LONG weekend!
Happy Family Day!

Pink Shirt Day- February 25, 2025
In lieu of Teacher's Convention on February 28, 2025, we will recognize Pink Shirt Day on Tuesday February 25, 2025.
We believe everyone- young and old- has the power to create change! This Pink Shirt Day, let's do what we can to elevate the voices of all and take a stand against bullying. We can show others that we advocate for kindness and inclusivity by wearing our Pink Shirt Day apparel. We encourage you to help spread awareness for this important cause not only in February, but throughout the entire year.
