Water Donations

Our water bottle supply is getting low.  If you are able to pick up a case next time you go to the store and drop it off at pick up – we would appreciate it!


Smart Watches

Dress code reminder:  Smart watches are NOT allowed in school.  Items like this are very difficult for teachers to monitor and could cause distractions in the classroom.  If your child recently received a smart / fitness watch for Christmas – we ask that it stays at home.  If a teacher notices a students with a smart watch – they may be asked to put it in their backpack or to let the teacher hang on to it for the reminder of the day.  Thank you for your help!

Dress code is always available here:  Dress Code | St Patrick’s Catholic School (stpatricklincolnschool.com)

The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey’s and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.

SCRIP

What is Scrip? “Scrip” turns everyday shopping into cash for the St. Patrick Church and School. Purchase gift cards at face value in advance to use at checkout, instead of paying with credit, debit card, check or cash.

How Does It Work? Purchase gift cards at face value from local merchants who designate their own discount percentage ranging from 1.5% to 30%. The discount amount translates to profit for the St. Patrick!

  • $50 Raising Canes gift card at 30% = $15.00 St. Patrick profit
  • $50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
  • $100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit

Click here for the SCRIP order form.  SCRIP can be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.
