Kind-8th students join us this Sunday, May 19 at 8 or 11 am worship to sing and/or play  “Holy Spirit, the Dove Sent from Heaven” ! See the email Miss Bremer sent with more details about arrival & groups if needed.

🏃👟TRACK & FIELD DAY: On June 1st, we will be headed to Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School for track-and-field day. A permission slip will come in the brown folder on Monday. This week, students will sign up for and participate in some track and field events. It’s always a fun day. We will need some parent volunteers (see link below). When we return, we will have a picnic where students will have a hotdog lunch. An order form for this went home Wednesday and is due BEFORE Tuesday May 21st. Thanks!  VOLUNTEER SPOTS ALL FILLED - THANK YOU!

🌭🍉End-of-Year School Picnic: It is our tradition here at St. Paul to have an all-school picnic on Track and Field Day.  This year Track and Field Day is scheduled for Thursday May 30th.  The picnic will include a hot dog, watermelon, chips, bottled water and a dessert.  To plan for the picnic you will need to sign-up and pay for lunch.  Parents who will be here at school that day are encouraged to join us.  Each lunch will cost $2.00.  Additional hotdogs can be purchased for $1.00 each.  Please note, this lunch is not in conjunction with the lunch program, so payment must be included with each lunch order. Please fill out the lunch slip that will be coming home with your child and send it back to school by Tuesday May 21st.  

✝️Lutheran Junior Honor Association (LJHA) Information...This coming August, our fifth graders will have the opportunity to apply for membership into the Junior Lutheran National Honor Association (LJHA) if they are able to meet the criteria set forth. If you are interested in this honor, please see my detailed email from 3/9. I will discuss this opportunity briefly with the fifth graders this coming week and they will have an opportunity to ask questions.  Please know that many more details will be sent from the NJHA Coordinators - Mrs. Yurk, Mrs. Wulfkuhle, & Mr. Fischer in a couple of months.
