5th-6th Grade Band
After many discussions, we have decided to let the 5th and 6th grade students decide between taking beginning band with Mrs. Drummond or Choir with Ms. Frecker. Students in 5th and 6th grades HAVE TO CHOOSE one or the other. Students participating in band need to either have their own instrument or rent one. We have a small supply of school instruments (first come, first served).
Quinlan and Fabish is the company that we will be getting our instruments from. You are free to buy, borrow, or rent from somewhere else. Your student tried several different instruments, and they decided on which one they liked and sounded best on. You can either sign up online at Quinlan & Fabish Music Company - Homepage (qandf.com) or you can go to their store in Muncie anytime during store hours.
Online ordering- To find Saint Paul you can type in St Paul Parish School, Marion, IN or Julie Drummond.
7th-8th Grade Band
Students in 7th and 8th grades may choose band as an elective. If so, students need to have an instrument of their own or rented. All 7th and 8th graders will take choir with Ms. Frecker.
GIVE Hours
Saint Paul Catholic School believes that the education of students is a partnership with families. We encourage family involvement through the Growing In Volunteer Excellence (GIVE) program. This program is an opportunity for each family to help in accomplishing a common goal – the preparation of students academically and spiritually for life’s challenges. Each family is to complete 10 volunteer hours between July 1st and June 15th annually. Hours completed should be recorded on this form and turned in to the school office within two (2) weeks of the time given.
If you want to get a head start on your 2023-2024 hours, here are some ideas:
- Saint Paul Host Family
- Organizing School Supplies
- Cleaning the Stage
- Classroom Set Up and Furniture Moving
Safe and Sacred Training (Safe Environment Training)
Everyone who works with young people and/or vulnerable adults shares the responsibility of creating safe environments. We are all charged with treating life with the respect and dignity given to each of us by our God.
Nora Reynolds is the main contact for safe and Sacred Training at St. Paul.
- This year, volunteers who have not completed the training 2 week before the event will not be able to attend. NO EXCEPTIONS
- It is your responsibility to make sure your training is up to date. It expires every 3 years.
All STAFF, CLERGY, RELIGIOUS & VOLUNTEERS WHO WORK DIRECTLY WITH CHILDREN must register and complete the diocesan safe environment training program every three years.
- The program is designed to be respectful of the topic and your time.
- The site is accessible anytime and, on most computers, mobile devices and smartphones.
- If you need technical assistance there is a button at the top right corner of almost every screen where there is a “live” person to assist you.
- You may also contact Technical Support by calling toll-free 888-804-9643
