"If God is for us, who can be against us?" — Romans 8:31
Welcome to a new school year at St. Patrick Catholic School! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are so grateful to have you as part of our school family. We look forward to a year filled with faith, learning, and community.
I’m honored to continue serving as the St. Patrick School Board President for a second year. It’s a privilege to work alongside a dedicated team of board members who are passionate about supporting our students, staff, and families.
Please join me in welcoming this year’s St. Patrick Catholic School Board:
- Adam Schaefer, President
- Patrick Burke, Vice President
- Emily Paxton, Secretary
- Nate Allison
- Natalie Deery
- Molly Lahart
- Ryan Occena
Our board typically meets on the fourth Thursday of each month during the school year. After each meeting, a board member will share highlights from our discussions to keep families informed and engaged. As board members, we truly value your input—please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions, ideas, or feedback.
At our August 28th board meeting, we discussed several property updates and board priorities:
- Improvements include a new fence screen around the playground, fresh paint on the front of the school building, and a new school phone system.
- Our ongoing curriculum review process, ensuring our academic programs continue to meet the needs of our students.
- Board priorities for the year include drafting a 5-year strategic plan and providing updates related to the Archdiocesan Journey in Faith—more to come on these important initiatives.
We also encourage all families to participate in volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Your involvement helps create a vibrant and supportive environment for our students. As we kick off the school year, we’re asking for a final push to sell Football Bash tickets! This important fundraiser will support blacktopping around the school playground and preschool parking lot improvements, helping us create safer and more enjoyable outdoor spaces for our children.
Thank you for your continued support. May this school year be filled with joy, growth, and blessings for all.
Adam Schaefer
School Board President
