St. Philip's Episcopal School

January is here and the start of our 2nd semester!

We held our 3rd 6 weeks awards Chapel the first Thursday of our return. We had 25 students receive Perfect Attendance awards. Our First grade through 5th grade students receive awards for All A and A-B Honor Roll. We had 8 students receive All A Honor Roll and 15 students receive A-B Honor Roll. Great Job!

On January 16th we kicked off our Kid’s Heart Challenge. Our students participate by completing Finn’s Mission which includes learning about Hands-only CPR. Our students raise money by sending emails and text messages to family and friends asking for donations. Our goal is $7,000. We have surpassed our goal the last two years.

Be sure to check out our Upcoming Events for all of the happenings for February.
