Congratulations to Mrs. Byers and her Kindergarten students on leading their first Mass yesterday.

Dear families,

Join us tonight for the 7th/8th grade music concert, and next week Tuesday for the 5th-8th grade band concert, both in the Dutcher Gym. The students have been working hard on their programs!

Our eighth graders have accomplished so much during their time at our school. Academically they have achieved at high levels while being involved in many extracurricular activities from athletics to band to Battle of the Books and more. Because of their hard work here at St. Patrick, they have set a course for success as they move forward.

Eighth graders will be celebrating with their honors Mass on Wednesday, May 17, at 5:15 p.m. This is the perfect way for our students to finalize their time here at St. Patrick Catholic School. The Mass is a way of celebrating the Catholic faith while celebrating each of our eighth graders individually and the group as a whole. I have been blessed to work with these fine young individuals over the past school year. They have shown tremendous growth, served as commendable role models, and will go on to do great things in high school and beyond.

Blessings,

Mr. Wiebers

FAITH

Cancer awareness week is all about praying for those affected by cancer. Families were able to purchase a ribbon and pray for those with cancer. Proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. Ribbons are on display throughout our building.

EXCELLENCE

Our 5th/6th grade students went on a field trip to the Living History Farm on Tuesday. They learned so much about Iowa history! We love having our students learn outside of the classroom.
