After an extraordinary 32 years of leading our After Care program and Extended Care summer camp, Mrs. Lori Tucker is retiring! We are profoundly grateful for her passion, her steady presence, and her unwavering dedication to the students and families of St. Louis for more than three decades. As we celebrate her remarkable service, we now begin the important work of finding her successor. Please see the Wednesday Wire for the job description and application details.
Thank you, Ms. Lori, for all you have given to our school community!
Make-Up School pictures were sent home this week. If your child had make-up pictures taken, please submit picture orders or return unpurchased pictures to your child’s homeroom teacher by THIS Friday, November 21. DO NOT send in payment. You will be billed for your picture order through FACTS. If no orders or pictures are returned by Friday, we will assume you are keeping the whole package, and we will bill you for Package #1 ($25.00) through FACTS.

St. Louis Parish is raising funds through the iGiveCatholic Campaign to enhance the safety and security of our campus. Currently, the area from our Kindergarten building to the football field is enclosed only by a chain-link fence. Our goal is to replace it with fencing that matches the high-quality exterior fencing surrounding the rest of our property. This improvement will include a decorative, secure entrance accessible only to authorized personnel. Together, these upgrades will provide a much-needed enhancement to protect our students while they are on the playground and ball fields, as well as our parishioners and visitors throughout the week. We hope you will prayerfully consider a donation here. Thank you for your generous support and commitment to the safety of our community!
