Christmas Services

We look forward to seeing you at our ELM/Prep service this Tuesday at 6:30pm.  Students wear nice Christmas outfits for this service.  Band students please arrive at 6:00 to get set up.  All other students may arrive at 6:15.

The ECE service is on Sunday Dec. 10 at 3:00pm. Students wear nice Christmas clothing unless asked for something different by your child’s teacher.

All the students have been practicing hard and are excited to share these services with you.

Ski PE Day

Mark your new calendars!  Our annual school ski PE day for grades K-8 will be on January 12.  Students will spend that Friday at Mission Ridge and will receive rental equipment, a lesson, and some free ski time for the day.  A note will be coming home with students that needs to be returned to school. PTL pays for our students to have this opportunity so thank you PTL!

Snow

If Wenatchee School District closes for the day then St. Paul's will close as well.  If WSD is doing a late start, then we will start on time.  Please use your own judgement to get your student(s) to school safely.  If your student(s) will not be coming  or will be late, please let the school office know.

currently enrolled student in childcare or the enrichment program, please fill out this survey to let us know of your care needs over the Christmas break (Dec. 18-29).  This information allows us to have appropriate staffing during this time.  If you have any questions, contact the school or childcare office.

Hour of Code

We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works. That training and understanding can begin even in a child’s elementary and middle school years. While most parents would agree that computer science education is important, many are not sure how to provide appropriate, enriching opportunities for their children.

That’s why Saint Paul’s is planning to join in on the largest learning event in history by sponsoring our very own Hour of Code event! The Hour of Code has impacted more than 100 million students worldwide since the program began in 2013. Our event will be making a statement that Saint Paul’s Lutheran School is ready to teach these foundational 21st-century skills as we prepare our students to serve Jesus in their school, church, community, and world.

St. Paul’s Hour of Code will bring programming activities to young people and their families in a fun, exciting way on Tuesday, December 12. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and our Hour of Code will begin at 6:15. At 7:15 we will finish coding, have snacks, door prize drawings, and celebrations as we wrap up the evening.

Plan now to attend with your child. We have a limited number of Chromebooks and iPads available, or you can bring your own tablet, laptop, or smartphone. Don’t worry if you have no experience with coding. There will be activities for beginners as well as experienced coders.
