Comfy Clothes Day!

Due to the success of the CSW Coin Drive and meeting our $2000 fundraising goal, students and staff have earned a Comfy Clothes Day on Tuesday Feb. 20th!
Thank you for your generosity – we are so excited to present our check to St. Gianna’s home after mass this Friday.

• Students may wear any combination of t shirt/ sweatshirt/ sweatpants or school uniform.
• Hooded sweatshirts are OK.
• Please ensure sweatpants are loose fitting, legging should be paired with a skirt.
• No shorts please.

Holy Moments

Tidy up a place that is messy. Maybe that means your desk, or your locker, or your bedroom. Spend just a few minutes each day tidying up a different spot and you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes! And remember, some moments are holy. Some moments are unholy. And you decide!

Tips to Create This Holy Moment:
– Clean up your desk, car, or bag.
– If you notice litter outside, pick it up.
– Tidy up a messy space in your home.

Fundraisers

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 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
• $100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit

Purchase SCRIP before shopping by filling out this form and turning it into the parish office or call in your order to the rectory at 402.466.2752 and we can prepare your order ahead for you. SCRIP can  also be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.

We’re excited to share that our school is participating in Cash for Classrooms, part of Casey’s Rewards. This opens up St. Patrick School to new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students.
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.
Help St. Patrick School make the most of this program and learn more at Caseys.com/schools.
