Everyone did a fantastic job!
The third – fifth grade spelling bee was very competitive. It took 11 rounds between third grader, Krider Heerdink and fourth grader, Christopher Ford to finally declare Christopher the winner. The middle school students were equally successful spelling very difficult words. There were 36 participants and, In the end, eighth grader, Jason Dummel, defended his title from last year, and outlasted all participants to take first place. Jason will represent St. Vincent de Paul School in the regional contest next month. Good luck to you, Jason.
Thank you to our excellent judges – Rosanne Mattson and Brenda Barkley. The spelling bee ran smoothly because of you.
Thank you to the teachers who helped the students prepare for the test. Your help was appreciated.
Thank you to the parents and faculty for taking the time to watch the spelling bee. Your support adds to our program.
THANK YOU!

CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT
First $200 deposit installment will be posted to your FACTS account tomorrow.
Planning for the upcoming school year’s budget and potential tuition increases is a process we take very seriously. It is difficult to plan when we are unsure about existing families’ situations. The process we have followed for several years has failed to provide substantial information regarding returning families, which hinders us in budgeting for the coming year. As explained in the current Community Handbook, we will be using the continuous enrollment model.
The attached document will explain the new enrollment process, timeline, and financial obligations.
