St. Paul Elementary Newsletter

We will start including the PTC meeting notes in our newsletter the day/week after each meeting. Here are the notes from last week’s meeting.

The St. Paul Elementary PTC is looking for a fun and creative design for the labels for our

2026 cinnamon roll fundraiser. Therefore, we are hosting a contest to gather designs

created by our elementary students. Contest rules below:

1. Must be hand drawn, no use of computer or AI will be accepted
2. Must be created by St. Paul Elementary students in K-6th grade
3. St. Paul Elementary PTC Board Members will select one finalist from each class
4. Class finalists will be announced at the November assembly, and will receive a $10
5. Banker’s Cup gift card
6. Entry must include student name and grade (on the back of the drawing)
7. Limited to one entry per student
8. Entries must be turned into the Elementary office by 10/30/26

Use your creativity and lots of color! TIP: Markers or Crayons are best... limit use of colored

pencils as they don’t come through well on the scanner/computer.

Template for the label is below.

The new St. Paul Elementary t-shirts were delivered to the staff and students last week!! What a great lookin' group!

The back of the shirts reference our School District's Maxim, to be a reminder of our core values.

If any parents and/or family members are interested in ordering one of these shirts for $20, please email ptc@stpaul.k12.or.us and include the size/s you'd like to order. We will be placing one supplemental order, on 11/2/26, so please have your orders in by 10/30/26! Payment will be collected when you pick up the shirt.

All shirts are unisex, and available in Youth S-XL and Adult S-3XL.
