Smart Cookie Celebration
Our students are smart cookies!
All St. Patrick School Families and Parishioners are invited to join us for a Smart Cookie Celebration in honor of our student achievement on the ITBS Standardized Tests. St. Patrick students scored in the Top 5 in five categories among all schools in the Lincoln Diocese. Your continued support and prayers are a significant reason for this success. We would love for you to join us!
Wednesday Nov. 17th. 8:00 a.m. Mass with Msgr. Perkinton (St. Patrick Alumni) and Fr. Schweiger. Cookie celebration to follow immediately in the St. Patrick Gymnasium.
Adults and family members who are attending, please call the school, or email your RSVP to Kristine Placek: Kristine-Placek@cdolinc.net
St. Patrick School Family of the Day
Beginning in September, we will be praying for a St. Patrick School Family each day. The School Family of the Day will be listed on our Lunch + Events Calendar. As a school we will pray for the School Family of the Day after mass, and we ask your family at home to include the St. Patrick School Family of the Day in your family prayer. If you don’t already pray as a family – this is a simple way to get started.
November 15th – Macias Family
November 16 – Mackling Family
November 17th – Macku Family
November 18th – McGahan
November 15th Family Time Challenge
Library Free Pick
Do something new (or something that you wouldn’t have done this week) in connection with the public library. Make a visit, let your child get a library card (just bring your own photo ID and proof of local address), download Hoopla or Libby (free online apps in conjunction with Lincoln City Libraries that have loads of books, audio books and movies), have one adult stop by the library to pick up a few books instead of everyone going (if a family trip to the library feels too overwhelming), etc. Or, utilize one of many online storytelling “libraries” such as storylineonline.net (with parent supervision).

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.
