Dear SPC Families,
Tonight we celebrate the Class of 2023! We are so excited for all of them as they prepare to move to high school! A very special thank you to all the 8th-grade room moms who have worked so hard organizing all the fun events all year! I am grateful for the 7th-grade parents who have helped with the Memory Dinner and the Graduation Reception tonight!
This past Tuesday, we also welcomed back the SPC Class of 2019. They gathered for the traditional Class Photo on the church steps, followed by a little lunch reunion and visiting some of their former teachers, staff and administration. Our pride for our alums continues as they will matriculate to some of the finest colleges and universities in the country this fall: Northwestern University, Notre Dame, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin Madison, George Washington, University of Kansas, University of Iowa, Penn State, Dayton, Miami University, University of Kentucky, Michigan State, to name a small few! It really was super fun to have them all on campus!
The SPC Olympics Day is tomorrow! It's hard to believe such an exciting tradition is upon us again. A big thank you in advance to the more than 80 parents who will be volunteering during the day tomorrow to make this a special day for our students. Even our preschoolers will enjoy a special Tiny Tiger Olympics in the Safe Zone! The weather looks like it will cooperate!
STUDENT ATTIRE TOMORROW
As a reminder, all students (in grades K-7) will receive their SPC Olympics shirts when they report to their homeroom in the morning. Students will change into their shirts in the bathrooms. We expect the weather to be in the high 80s, so we encourage students to dress appropriately in SPC gym short bottoms. Athletic shoes are required to participate in the day as well. Our Home and School Association has purchased SPC Olympics shirts for each student this year, and each team has a unique colored t-shirt. This will help keep teams together and will help students easily identify their teams. ALL STUDENTS MUST WEAR THEIR ASSIGNED TEAM SHIRT IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OLYMPICS. Volunteers will also receive shirts.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD BRING TOMORROW?
Students must come to school with a labeled water bottle to carry with them throughout the games. Our Home and School Association will provide snacks (Skinny Pop and Popsicles), and there will be hot lunch (Home Run Inn) for those who've ordered it. Students will be outside most of the day, so applying sunscreen before school is a good idea.
PARKING AND MORNING DROP-OFF
Please DO NOT park in the FM Global parking lot or the Ryan Parke Funeral Home Lot.
The main parking lot will be closed at 7:30 am. Please use Washington for drop-off. DO NOT DROP YOUR CHILD OFF NORTHBOUND ON WASHINGTON; WE DO NOT WANT KIDS CROSSING THE STREET IN BETWEEN TRAFFIC. You may also use Summit and Ridge Terrace for Kiss and Go.
DISMISSAL
Hopefully, the well-planned schedule will go smoothly, but we ask for some patience if dismissal is a little after 3:00. We aim to open the parking lot by 2:50.
SPECTATORS
Tomorrow is a busy day with multiple logistics; if you are not signed up as a registered volunteer, we ask you to refrain from coming to campus to spectate. We have volunteer t-shirts for those adults assisting so that we can easily identify approved adults on campus. Non-volunteers will be asked to leave campus.
Thank you to Mrs. Spanos and the Home & School Association for all your hard work in putting this together. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! GO, SPC TIGERS!

SPC OLYMPICS
We are a little over a week away from the beloved tradition of the SPC Olympics. The Olympics will take place all day on Friday, June 2nd. Thank you all for those that have volunteered already. We would not be able to do this without you!
The students (K - 7) will travel from game to game with their prayer buddy groups and captains. This year, we assigned each of the 30 teams a specific color t-shirt for safety concerns. Children will receive these t-shirts on Friday morning and have a chance to change into them before the games begin. We encourage all the children to dress appropriately, as the games will be outdoors, and to bring a labeled water bottle with their name on it.
For those children in the early childhood classrooms, a separate 'version' of the Olympic games will take place in the Safe Zone. More information will be provided to you next week on these events.
If you are interested in helping out at the games and did not get a chance to sign up via the Sign Up Genius link, you can email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. All volunteers must be able to commit to the whole day and be registered ahead of time for their shifts for safety concerns. There will also be two mandatory volunteer informational sessions. Volunteers must attend ONE: Tuesday, the 30th, or Wednesday, the 31st, at 8 pm via Google Hangout. The link will also be emailed to you tomorrow in a calendar invite so that we know the attendance for each meeting.
Thank you to Mrs. Spanos for putting in so many hours creating such a wonderful tradition. And a thank you to the Home and School Association for supporting her with coordinating this event. We look forward to celebrating the Olympics with the children next week!
LOST AND FOUND:
Please stop by and check the lost and found. All remaining items will be donated beginning the week of June 12th.

All are invited to the new SPC Scripture Seminar with Father James Wednesdays at 9 am in the Holy Family Chapel, beginning May 31st. The group will discuss and pray over a scripture passage and try to use the sacred text to deal with some questions we all have (Why does evil exist in the world? Why is the Church the way it is? How do I deal with suffering? How do I help my fallen away family members return to the Church? etc.). Sessions are not dependent on one another, so attend at your leisure.

Thank you for once again exceeding our expectations and helping to make our Book Fair an outstanding success!
I appreciate your efforts to support our book fair and can’t wait to see how many wishes can be granted with your fundraising efforts.
Hosting this Book Fair allowed me to watch your kids discover new books, however, all that joy wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers from our school community who deserve my special thanks.

Our Book Fair will continue ONLINE THROUGH MAY 30TH. 25% of all online purchases will still directly benefit our school. Please note, all orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Buddy up with a friend. EWallets can be shared. Your online purchases will also benefit our school.
