St. Patrick Catholic School

This Friday we are having an out of uniform day for the victims of the recent tornado in western Iowa. Students may wear school appropriate out of uniform shirts and tops for a $1 donation, that will go to the Community Foundation for Western Iowa.

No sleeveless shirts/tank tops, and make sure that shorts/skirts are an appropriate length for school.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are incredibly thankful for the dedicated teachers we are so blessed to have teach our children every day. Take a moment this week to reach out to your child's teacher and let them know how much they are loved and appreciated! 🤍

Please join us on Wednesday, May 15th at 5:15 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church for our annual grade 8 Mass. This is such a special time to bless our oldest students as they venture off to high school.

We are in need of 4 - 6 parent volunteers for Field Day on Tuesday, May 21 from 1:30 - 3:10 p.m. Volunteers will help run the games in one of 3 spots: the gym, the playground, and the green space. The green space involves filling up buckets of water. Volunteers will stay in one location for the duration of the games. If you are able to help that day, please contact the office.

Students in Mrs. Byers kindergarten class had a special visitor this week. Officer Zikuda, with Cedar Falls Public Safety, came to read to them. Thank you for your visit!

Cedar Falls Public Safety invites the community to an open house on May 9, 2024, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Public Safety Center (4600 South Main Street).

During the event, visitors will be able to explore emergency rescue vehicles and meet members of the Public Safety team as well as personnel from Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office, the University of Northern Iowa Public Safety Department, and MercyOne. All ages are welcome.

Fareway will be providing hot dogs, water, and chips for the open house. The public can enter on the north side of the Public Safety Center next to the apparatus bay.

Student athletic forms for students in grades 5-8 were sent home earlier this week. Any student who had sent in their medical eligibility form had it returned for summer sports. Just a reminder that any student participating in school athletics for the 2024/25 school year will need to have a physical form to turn in at our August registration. The required form can be found here.

Parents of incoming 7th grade students will need to check with their doctor to make sure all immunizations are current. An updated immunization record for all 7th graders will need to be turned in to the office by registration time in August.

Rachel Mueller will be leading Rosary Club on Friday, May 10th after school in the cafeteria. Students in K-Gr. 8 are welcome to come and pray the rosary. Students can be picked up at 4:30 p.m. in the MPR, or if they usually go go to Circle of Care, they can sign in there until you are able to pick them up, or by 5:30 p.m. Contact the school office if you would like to sign your student up to attend.
