Dear St. Pascal Regional Families,

As we close another school year, I want to extend my deepest thanks to each of you for your steadfast support and dedication to our school. Your trust in us to educate your children means the world, and together, we've achieved so much. The strength of our St. Pascal community continues to inspire me.

Our remarkable teachers deserve special recognition. Their commitment to providing a faith-centered education has been exceptional, nurturing our students both academically and spiritually. Additionally, our wonderful staff has ensured the smooth operation of our school, and from preparing meals to offering extended care and counseling services.

As summer approaches, I hope everyone finds time to rest and rejuvenate. I eagerly anticipate welcoming you back to St. Pascal Regional in August, ready to embark on another year of teaching our scholars to believe, learn, love, and connect.

Please check out the video showcasing what makes our school so special. Also, we would greatly appreciate your feedback ( https://forms.gle/DD2iavHUgbxSo28J8) on how the year has gone for you. If you could leave us a Google review and share your positive experiences, it would help us welcome more students into our community. Feel free to share this newsletter with others to spread the word about our wonderful school.

Wishing you all a joyful and restful summer,

Inna Collier Paske, Principal

On the evening of June 4th, 2024, we celebrated the graduation of our 8th grade class with a Mass, ceremony, and reception. We are so very proud of each of our graduates and all that they have accomplished throughout their school careers at St. Pascal Regional. At school, they were given the opportunities to achieve their academic goals, develop a relationship with Christ, and become leaders in our community. Every one of them has done that and more! Now is the time for them to shine their light on the world! Blessings and prayers for their bright futures!

Two students received scholarships at graduation. Joanna Velez and Bernadette Alfaro were awarded the Skipper Slawik Tuition Assistance Grant. This is a renewable grant for the four years of high school. It is awarded to deserving students attending a Catholic high school.

Five students also received The Knight Award. This award is given to students who have attended St. Pascal Regional from kindergarten or even preschool. Bernadette Alfaro, Ehizode Busayo, Nicholas Crist, Jacob Stuhl , and Joanna Velez have all attended St. Pascals since kindergarten. We want to thank these families for their dedication to Catholic education.

Please check out social media for more pictures.

If your student grew out of the school uniform and it is still in a great condition, please consider to donate it back to the school, so that another student might benefit from it next school year. You can drop off the uniform at the school office. We will store it at City Connects Office.

On June 4, students met in our church parking lot with staff members from the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) to learn about the Rain Garden and Tree Trench which were installed in 2022 and funded by a grant from the RWMWD. The garden and trench remove phosphorus, suspended solids and other pollutants that are mixed into rainwater and snowmelt flowing off the parking lot. This water flows into the storm water system and eventually into the Mississippi River. Students discussed ways to keep lakes, rivers and streams free of pollutants and other harmful substances. They had good ideas and enjoyed the walking tour of the garden and trench

Thank you for all volunteers who made this day special! Stay tuned for our 2024 Fun & Fitness video!
