St. Paul Elementary Newsletter

We love seeing younger siblings and friends come out to support St. Paul athletics! Their energy and enthusiasm add so much to the excitement of our games.

We do want to remind families that if students 5th grade and younger attend athletic events, the expectation is that they remain with their parents or guardian throughout the event. 6th through 8th graders are expected to sit and watch the event rather than move around the school grounds. They may either sit with their parents, or all together in a group. This helps ensure their safety and security and also allows us to keep our facilities in top-notch condition for everyone to enjoy.

This expectation also applies to any community groups or organizations using St. Paul facilities.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to make all athletic events safe, enjoyable, and welcoming for everyone.

We invite you to come in and pre-register your incoming kindergarten student at St. Paul Elementary School.

Dear Families,

Have you learned Hands-Only CPR yet? Get started at http://www2.heart.org/goto/StPaul and join Kids Heart Challenge. One of the most impactful parts of the program is Finn’s Mission where you and your student will learn Hands-Only CPR, know how to spot stroke warning signs and raise funds to help kids with special hearts.

1. Download the AHA Schools app
2. Raise Funds to help kids with special hearts. Send 5 texts or emails to family & friends.
3. Complete Finn’s Mission in your headquarters. Once you do, you'll be entered to win a pair of tickets to Super Bowl LXI in 2027!

Did You Know – 90% of people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest don’t survive. Immediate Hands-Only CPR can double, even triple, a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. Make it YOUR mission to help create a lifesaving community.

Goals & Celebrations

• The class that fundraises the most will earn a GLOW STICK PE PARTY!
• At the end of the program, we will raffle off a KHC Mystery Bag to one random student who signs up!
• Top 3 fundraising students will get a bonus XL keychain!
• BONUS: if half our school signs up… we will earn $500 for new gym equipment!
