St. Patrick Catholic School

A big thank-you to our parent volunteers who participated in our Leader in Me job interviews last week! We appreciate you taking time out of your morning to visit with our students, and help make these interviews a meaningful experience.

It's time to start thinking about this year's Trunk or Treat! All of this is made possible by the generous donations provided by our school families. Please check out our Sign-Up Genius form to see what is needed for this year!

Strawbridge Photography will once again be taking our student photos this year. Our school Picture Dates:

Tuesday, Sept 22nd at Clover Patch Preschool

As the weather has begun to cool off this week, now is the perfect time to start thinking about uniform approved apparel for the winter months ahead. Our apparel store at Iowa Sports Supply is open for ordering year round. All purchases and order pick ups are handled directly through ISS.

Please collect your Hy-Vee receipts and drop them off at the school or parish office. These receipts help us earn money for school improvements, but only those dated June 1st or later will count for this school year.

Thank you for helping us grow and improve—one receipt at a time!

This year food bank volunteer nights will fall on the first Thursday of the month (except May which I will follow up on as it gets closer due to the 7/8 musical) 6-7:30. Anyone kindergarten and older is able to participate!

Due to ongoing construction at the food bank, the number of volunteers allowed in one time slot is limited and strictly enforced so I will need people to email me at erinyoungblut@gmail.com to sign up.

Scrip is our school’s ongoing fundraiser where families can earn half the rebate amount to apply towards their Circle of Care and/or lunch balance! If you’d like to place a Scrip order, simply send an email to scrip@cfcatholicschool.org. Scrip cards will be ordered every other week and your order will be ready for pickup the following Friday in the parish office.

All of our school board meetings will be held the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m. Our first meeting will be held here at the school in the staff work room on the main level.
