Letter from the Assistant Principal
Walkathon 2017 is tomorrow! Thanks to all who've been raising pledges! What a thrill to see our Walkathon goal thermometer keep rising! Please read the important update from Ms. Iacopelli in the Assistant Principal letter above. The funds raised from the 2017 Walk-A-Thon will help to purchase valuable, educational resources that directly benefit all of our children. If you haven’t already done so, please register each student by clicking on this link. It will take you directly to the Walkathon Website registration page. When entering the information, please select your child’s homeroom teacher’s team.
NEW This Year: Each student can email a personalized fundraising link to solicit sponsors/pledges. All pledge dollars will also be collected electronically via this link. If every student asked 10 people for $10 donations he/she would raise $100 per student. What a gift to SPC!
EVERY STUDENT WHO RAISES AT LEAST $100 will receive an SPC drawstring bag!
The homeroom who raises the most amount of money will win a pizza party
The homeroom who completes the most number of laps will win a pizza party
Thank you for supporting SPC and Catholic education!

A very fond farewell to Mrs. Jacobs
After 28 years at St. Paul of the Cross School, Mrs. Kathleen Jacobs has decided to enjoy some free time with her friends and family. It is called Retirement!
Since this was a recent decision, we were not able to honor Mrs. Jacobs at our end of the year all school Mass. We would like to acknowledge her dedication, commitment, and love she has shown to SPC students for over 28 years!!
We will be compiling words of remembrance, special thoughts and wishes or fond memories to share with her. If you would like to share with us, please send your words, letters, or cards to the school office c/o Linda Foy and have Mrs. Jacobs name on the envelope. We will be presenting her with a basket full of these wishes at a faculty party in her honor.
