Parents are encouraged to attend this information session about Reality Therapy. Reality Therapy is a technique we use daily here at STPCS to problem-solve and create a needs satisfying environment for our students.

Parents and teachers are encouraged to join together in an effort to identify the progress made by students within the pillars of the Graduate at Graduation document and to make strategic plans to augment the work that is being done at home and in the classroom. This is a non-crisis type interaction between the parent and teacher on behalf of the student. The time for this collaboration is open ended and scheduled between parent and teacher.

The very first Band Concert, under the direction of Band Director Mike Finn, will take place Wednesday, December 17th at 7:00 pm in the Performing Arts Center.

The first draft of essays detailing growth in the five domains (LIFE OF MIND, LIFE OF SPIRIT, LIFE OF RELATIONSHIP, THE PHYSICAL LIFE, LIFE OF VOCATION) are due for the eighth graders.

Mr. Hammond has declared Friday, December 5 as “Saint Patrick School Spirit Day.”

All students and staff are encouraged to wear a STPCS Shirt on Friday to show school spirit. The shirt must have the school name printed in some fashion (this includes the polo shirts that are part of the Spring uniform). If a school spirit shirt is not worn, students must wear their school uniform.  No jeans are permitted for students or staff.  Students are expected to wear the uniform pant or skort.

For the Basketball Team members and Cheerleaders the following dress code is expected:

Cheerleaders:  Assigned Saint Patrick Catholic School Uniform

Basketball Players:  Assigned Saint Patrick Catholic School uniform jersey top only with a shirt underneath (no t-shirts or tank tops).  The jerseys do not need to be tucked into the pants as they are very long and bulky to tuck into dress pants. Again, no jeans.

Time: 2:45 - 3:15 pm
Where: School Chapel
The first Friday of every month, Mrs. Christine Martinez will lead the rosary in the school chapel at 2:45 pm for any students, faculty and staff that are interested.

On Saturday Dec 6th, the cheerleaders will be cheering on the STPCS teams playing in the STPCS gym. The cheerleaders will cheer from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. For game schedule Information click the following link:

Interested eight grade students and their parents are invited to attend Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School Day. Eighth grade students will spend the day at BSCH from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. Parents are responsible for the transportation of their child and students should coordinate their absence from class with their teachers. Parents are invited to come to Bishop Sullivan High School that evening between 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm.

A while ago, in a Wednesday chapel, I was telling the children about the human race and how to win it. And I said that the human race had a lot of people in it. In fact, a whole world full of people.  But, unlike most races that have only one winner, the human race was a race that everyone could win. And you win it by treating others with compassion and kindness.

Some months passed and I had pretty much forgotten the chapel when a bright little first grader stopped me in the front lobby and asked me if I remembered the talk on the human race. And I said, “Yes, I did.”

With all sincerity, he looked at me and said, “Mr. Hammond, I think I can win it.  I think I can win the human race.”

That is what we are all about at Saint Patrick Catholic School.  Teaching kids how to win the human race.  Teaching them to use their gifts in building up each other in the ways they are able.  In supporting and nurturing…. the human race.  It looks like they are out of the blocks very well.
