Parent Club in the Building
Welcome Back Tigers!
Parent Club has been busy hosting events across our community this school year, starting with the Back to School BBQ and Back to School Coffee.

Teacher Welcome
Parent Club welcomed teachers and staff back into the building with breakfast treats and coffee! A Special thank you to Macrina Bakery and Cafe Javasti for the breakfast treats!
Back to School BBQ
Parent Club along with the 8th grade parents hosted a fun
Back to School BBQ. It was great to see everyone and say
hello to our teachers!
Back to School Coffee
Bakers and volunteers welcomed our parents to the first day of school with hot coffee, goodies and time to catch up after the Summer. Thank you to our amazing bakers that provided treats!
Fall Fest Saturday, October 3rd!
We're excited to welcome all families to our annual Fall gathering, St. Catherine's Fall Fest! This is one of Parent Club's largest events of the year and so much fun for our whole community!
This year will look a little different with some exciting updates to the event. We will be moving it earlier in the day so more of our school community can participate and we have daylight to enjoy food and activities outdoors in the plaza.
We're also shaking up our Chili Cook Off and flipping the tables to something sweeter - a Fall Fest Bake Off! Click below to sign up and bring your best pie, cake or cookies and you could be voted Best Baker!
Additionally we are seeking bakers and non bakers to make or purchase items for the cake walk. All cooking and baking counts toward volunteer hours!
Ticket bundles will be for sale soon! And thanks to 3rd and 4th grade families for running the Fest!
When: Saturday, October 3
3-6pm at Victoria Hall & Plaza
Sign up today!

What is Parent Club?
As a member of the St. Catherine community, you are a member of the St. Catherine Parent Club! Parent Club has four main purposes:
- Fundraising: Raise money to support the school. We do this through things like Pizza Lunch, Used Uniform Sales, Middle School Dances, and more in order to support the school’s General Fund and fulfill wish list items.
- Sponsor events to build community. For example, Back to School BBQ, Harvest Festival, Grandfriends Lunch, and more!
- Staff and School Support. For example, Teacher & Holiday Gift, monthly staff lunches, teacher appreciation events.
- Volunteer! Parent Club provides ample volunteer opportunities for the community throughout the year. Whether you like to run events, craft at home, bake, or help with setup & clean up. Keep your eyes out for volunteer sign-ups throughout the year.
Come to a Meeting!
Parent Club meets the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm in the Learning Commons. ALL parents are welcome and encouraged to attend and we'd love to see a bigger turnout at the meetings!
