The Wildcat Way Week 5
SPCS Newsletter - Learning, Loving, Lighting the Way

Homily Reflection
Happy Veterans Day!
Today, we pause to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. We are grateful for their courage, sacrifice, dedication, and willingness to put others before themselves.
As a Catholic school community, we are reminded of Jesus' words in John 15:13:
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
Today, we are reminded of what it means to LIVE LIKE THE SAINTS, to serve others, show courage, make sacrifices, and love our neighbors. Our veterans demonstrate these values through their commitment and service to our country.
May we follow their example by showing gratitude, praying for those who serve, supporting veterans and their families, and finding little ways to make a big difference in the lives of others.
β€οΈπ€π Thank you, Veterans, for your service and sacrifice. We are forever grateful!

November's Saint of the Month
π St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Lead with Faith, Learn with Purpose, and Serve with Love!
May St. Elizabeth Ann Seton remind us that we are called to trust God, serve others, and make a difference through faith, kindness, and perseverance. She showed us that even when life is challenging, we can follow God's plan and make a positive impact on those around us.
How Can We Live Like St. Elizabeth Ann Seton?
Serve: Look for ways to help others without being asked.
Act: Show kindness and patience through our words and actions.
Invite: Welcome others, include friends, and make everyone feel loved.
Never Give Up: Keep trying, even when things are difficult. Trust that God is guiding us.
Tell the Truth: Be honest, take responsibility, and make choices that reflect our faith.
Shine: Share God's love by being a positive example to others.
π A Family Challenge
This month, challenge your family to follow St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's example by completing one small act of service or kindness together. Look for opportunities to help others, show love, and put your faith into action. Remember, small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference!

SPCS Gala Event
The SPCS Gala is our biggest fundraising event of the year and a wonderful opportunity for parents, parishioners, alumni, and community members to come together for an evening of fun, fellowship, and support for our school! This special adults-only evening offers a relaxed, casual atmosphere where you can enjoy great food, exciting auction items, and, most importantly, connect with other SPCS families and members of our parish and community. Whether you are new to our school or have been part of the SPCS family for years, it is a wonderful opportunity to build friendships and strengthen our school community! The Gala features several exciting components, including raffles, silent auction, and an evening of dinner and live auction excitement!
Our amazing Gala committee, made up of dedicated parent volunteers, works hard behind the scenes to bring this special event to life. Their time, creativity, and generosity help make the evening a success year after year!
Every contribution, donation, and ticket purchased makes a difference in supporting our school and providing meaningful opportunities for our students. We are so grateful for your partnership and look forward to an evening of laughter, friendship, and celebration with our SPCS family!
