School-wide notes     Singing in worship   Choir/JuBellate      General Music Class 

School-wide notes…

  • ALL students are scheduled with class groupings to sing in worship throughout the year. Worship and music is a vital part of who we are at St. Paul. Each family received a paper schedule and we also put it online at calendar.splgrafton.org. Please make it a priority to be there - your children feel most secure when everyone is there like they practiced.  🙂

"I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music."  (Psalm 101:1)

    • The Extracurricular Handbook  provides the expectations & requirements for participation in ANY extracurricular activity for the ENTIRE year (choir, sports team, forensics, handbell group, dance team, or jazz band). You can find it under the Resources page on the school website.
      • 1. Please read through the Extracurricular Activity Handbook

Not only does learning songs put God's word in their mind & heart, but it also teaches our kids to use their gifts in serving the Lord. This is part of who we are at St. Paul. 🙂 We can’t wait to see you in church. (If there is a conflict, please let me or your child's homeroom teacher know. We are also trying to teach our kids the importance of communicating when commitments must be missed.) THANK YOU for your partnership in making worship a priority in our community.
