Honoring Those Who Served
"The fifth grade students of St. Patrick School placed flags on graves at St. Patrick Cemetery as part of their Memorial Day service.
According to St. Patrick School Principal Paula Smith, there are hundreds of flags to be placed in cemeteries each year, and this is just the school’s small way of helping out while showing honor and respect for those that gave so much for our freedom." Read more
New Playground is Awesome!
"On Saturday, July 13, members of the school’s Father’s Club and some moms began dismantling the existing playground structures. Gone are the center wooden structure, the newer playhouse structure, and the monkey bars. At the end of the day the only piece left standing was the swing set, which is allowed to remain and was purchased by Father’s Club a few years ago." Read more
