The holiday season is only just beginning! As families set up decorations and begin their festive, holiday traditions, the student government is thinking about some of the true meanings of Christmas: love, family, and giving to those in need. This Monday, December 7, the student government is promoting The United Way of West Central Connecticut Toy Drive. The St. Paul student community is being asked to bring in a new, unwrapped toy for children ages 1-14. Students who bring in a toy that day can dress down. We can help inspire the children and improve their holidays. Imagine how much your gift could mean to a child! If there are any questions, please contact Mrs. Kendrick. By Sammi Bray
On a rather dreary Thursday morning, the senior class officers (President Benjamin Shea, Vice President Patrick Russo, Treasurer Carina Fiscella, and Secretary Joshua Silva) met with their classmates to share a glimmer of light. Despite a disappointing and challenging end to the previous school year, the senior class is excited to be back in the classroom (both in-person and virtually) and incredibly hopeful. The class officers began their presentation with a reminder to keep up with the St. Paul COVID-19 guidelines, which are likely the reason St. Paul has yet to have a covid case. Some of these guidelines include having a mask on properly at all times, sanitizing before entering each classroom, and maintaining a social distance at all times. St. Paul also set up one-way hallways, allowing for more distance during passing times. With the year well under way, it is easy to forget the importance of these rules, but the senior officers reminded their peers that they set an example. Mask on, wash your hands, make it to graduation was the message of the day. Due to the school’s success in remaining nearly COVID free, there have been a number of student gatherings, like the traditional Walk-a-Thon and a Halloween movie night. On Thursday morning, the class of 2021 learned they will have a kickball tournament on November 5th, along with an ultimate frisbee competition and even some snacks at 5PM. This will be a great opportunity for the class to be together outside of the classroom and a celebration of a good start to the school year. Students in the senior class and beyond must remember the school theme #BetheLight and lead the way in following COVID-19 protocols during the school day and after school. Mrs. Kendrick, senior class advisor and beloved CAD teacher, told the senior class that if they want to have more activities, even a school dance, they must take this seriously. |
