Home & School

To support and assist the school staff, parents, and parish community in nurturing our children's academic, spiritual, and behavioral development.

Welcome

Letter from the Home & School Officers

Hello from your Home & School Officers, we would like to welcome you to the new school year! This year will look different for everyone, but Home & School will help make it as safe and amazing as possible for everyone.

Home & School is a volunteer organization that is committed to supporting the school administration, faculty, staff, and students. Our mission is to support the staff and parish community by nurturing our children’s academic, spiritual, and behavioral development. We welcome all St. Patrick’s School parents to join our meetings and volunteer on all committees! The first meeting is August 2nd at 4pm on Zoom, and then starting in September all meetings will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7pm on Zoom. The link for the meetings will be placed on social media and on FACTS.

Through the new FACTS system all families will be paying an annual $25.00 fee that helps pay for classroom parties, Catholic Schools Week, Staff Appreciation Week, various staff luncheons, etc. This year every classroom will be getting kits each month that will add an activity to their day, and hopefully will bring extra joy.

Our biggest fundraiser is the Fall Festival on August 22nd and will be a drive through event! You will be able to preorder dinner, shirts, goodies, and many more surprises. The band Finest Hour will be playing as you drive through for the whole family to enjoy, and we look forward to seeing you all that evening!
Another exciting addition to Home & School has been our Shamrock Store e-commerce site. All uniform tops, masks, ¼ zips, and spirit wear gear can be found here 24 hours a day! With our amazing trailer and now the e-commerce site, this committee has worked very hard to make shopping easy for everyone! Check out the e-commerce site at http://spiritwear.stpatselkhorn.org
Thank you so very much for everything you all do, and many blessings throughout the year.

President: Shelly Durbin
Vice President: Sarah Scott
Treasurer: Megan Bray
Secretary: Jill Kreikemeier
