NO SCHOOL – Monday December 9

For all catholic schools within the City of Lincoln, there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday December 9th.

With God…We are followers
The disciples spent three years following Jesus around and learning how to lead from Him. And most of them then went on to become the first leaders of the early church. They had to learn how to follow before they could lead. Even Jesus followed the rule of leading by following first!
First, you learn how to follow. Then you learn how to lead. It’s best to follow the lead of Jesus because He is the ultimate leader.
Jesus, teach me what it means to be a faithful follower of you.
“Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” -Mark 1:17
(Each week we focus on a reason why WITH GOD nothing shall be impossible!)
Feast of Saint Nicholas
The spirit of St. Nicholas makes a visit to St. Patrick school each Dec. 6th and leaves a treat in student shoes in honor of St. Nicholas’ Feast Day.
Students may wear comfy clothes & fun socks this day as they will be removing their shoes during their morning class.
- All comfy clothes are allowed – please no shorts or bare shoulders!
(Christmas / Religious socks are encouraged – but not mandatory 🙂

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.
