Dear Friends of St. Patrick School,
As you are doing your fall cleaning and organizing, please keep our library in mind for book donations. We have lost or ruined books that belong to a series, leaving the series incomplete. Below are some of the books we are missing. We appreciate donations of gently used books, preferably hard cover, but strong paperbacks are also great. To see a list of our missing books, click here.
Thanks,
Lora Sink

All families are welcome!
St. Patrick School has a long standing tradition of family volunteer nights at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. This year, we are hoping to get involvement back up to pre-COVID levels, but we need your help. The food bank always has great volunteer jobs for us to do that are age-appropriate for our students and give you the opportunity as parents to teach your kids about why the food bank is critical to our community.
Please join us on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except March) this school year from 6-7:30pm. This is a great way also for the 5th-8th graders to complete their required service hours.
We are limited to 30 spots, so if you are interested, please contact me, Erin Youngblut, at erinyoungblut@gmail.com to register.
