Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We are now entering our final week of school. What a year it has been! As we have all navigated the storms of COVID, inflation, supply shortages and disruptions, $5.00+ gas prices, and all the other worries of life, it is still important to remember God is in control. We can take joy and comfort in knowing He loves us, died for us, and lives to redeem and save us! The end of the year is always bittersweet, especially for our 8th graders as they graduate from St. Paul and go on to their respective high schools. Please pray for this year’s graduates, that they will finish the year strong, and look ahead with optimism and excitement for what high school will bring. Also pray that they will continue in the faith and not be swayed by the winds of anti-Christian influences in pop culture, social media, their high school peers, and all the other forces at work to pull them away from Christ. These are frightening times, but our Savior is more powerful than all of these other influences. There is always strength in numbers. May God help us continue to grow closer in community and fellowship with one another in our St. Paul Family!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 5-8 GRADE FAMILIES:
The St. Paul 8th Grade Graduation Commencement will be on Friday, May 27, at 7:00 p.m. We
look forward to seeing all 5-8 grade students and families in attendance that evening for this very special St. Paul Family event. Grades 5-7 will be singing at this service and report cards will be handed out to Grades 5-8 parents that evening. For those of you who are new to our school over the past two years, our Commencement service has traditionally been an all- school attendance event. We had to change this during the two COVID years, but are returning to a full in-person event this year. Due to the size of our church sanctuary, we must limit the attendance to the upper grades, 5-8. Grades 5-7 have a special part in the ceremony, and we urge all 5-8 grade families to attend. Please mark your calendars and set other routine events aside so you can be present that evening. Thank you!!

Once again, thank you for your ongoing support in making St. Paul Lutheran Church & School the vibrant ministry that it is. Please keep telling others about the great things going on here. Our mission of “Making Disciples Who Make Disciples” begins and ends with every one of us.

** If you have not yet re-enrolled for next school year, please submit your reenrollment forms as soon
as possible. Some classes have reached maximum capacity for next year and others are getting closer
each day. We are experiencing a significant amount of interest from new families and conducting
tours on an almost daily basis, so please reenroll soon to make sure your child’s spot is secured. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the form and send it back to school. Re-enrolling now also helps us with planning and budgeting for the next school year to ensure all classes’ equipment and material needs are met. **

Some other items of note:
We would love to see you in worship each weekend!

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Our school musical, “Go, Go, Jonah!” was a smashing success! The kids did a remarkable job as always,
and the teachers were absolutely wonderful stepping up and making last minute adjustments to make
the evening go off with a bang. Special thanks to Miss Jordan, Mrs. Price, Miss Miller, Miss Heinisch, and Mrs. Branning for all the hard work and direction they provided in all aspects of the production and thank you, as well, to Mrs. Wyeth for her set decoration.

Grandparents’ / VIP Day is today and our building is packed with visitors, all with smiles on their faces! It is so wonderful to have these in-person events once again and see and hear our school and church filled with laughter, excitement, and love. Thank you all for making today and last night’s musical such
memorable events. Making connections like these is what has kept St. Paul going strong for the last 157 years (and counting)!

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
Blessings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
What a wonderful evening we had together last night! St. Paul School’s Literacy Night was a great success, thanks to the hard work of the teachers and students and also thanks to your willingness to attend. As I walked around the building last night, it was so heartwarming to see so many children touring each classroom with parents and siblings, all enjoying being together and proudly showing off the work they have done so far this year. Thank you for taking the time to share in your child’s experiences here at school. It is the special events like these that make the memories your children will take with them when they think back to their grade-school years. Our St. Paul Open House is on Sunday, April 10, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please tell your friends, co-workers, and neighbors that this will be the perfect time to visit our school, meet the teachers, and get a feel for what we
do here at school. Please also share this information on Facebook and other social media outlets!

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
Blessings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We have reached Spring Break! After a solid stretch of hard work and dedication on the part of
students, parents, and teachers alike, I hope we can all take a much-needed break with our families and enjoy time together, whether traveling or just staying local and enjoying familiar people and places.
These are exciting times at St. Paul! We are growing as both a school and church body. The Holy Spirit
is actively working here! Just this week alone, we have had several more inquiries for both school
enrollments and church memberships. Two baptisms have been performed in our chapel services this
year. God is good and is showing His great love to us in so many ways!

When we return from break, we will be entering a very busy time in our school year. We want to see
everyone at school on Thursday, April 7, for Family Literacy Night, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Your
children have been working hard and will have various projects and activities to show you!

Our St. Paul Open House is on Sunday, April 10, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please tell your friends, co-workers, and neighbors that this will be the perfect time to visit our school, meet the teachers, and get a feel for what we do here at school.

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
I hope you all had a happy St. Patrick’s Day! As we begin to turn our attention to the events occurring in April, please be sure to mark your calendar and help us promote the upcoming St. Paul Open House on Sunday, April 10, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Although some of our classes are already full, we still have a few open spots available in several grades and will be actively promoting our school to interested families. Please go to https://www.facebook.com/StPaulAurora/ and like and share our Open House post with all of your friends. We would love to be able to share the love of Jesus with as many new students and their families as possible!
** If you have not yet re-enrolled for next school year, please submit your reenrollment forms as soon
as possible. Some classes have reached maximum capacity for next year and others are getting closer
each day. We are experiencing a significant amount of interest from new families and conducting
tours on an almost daily basis, so please reenroll soon to make sure your child’s spot is secured. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the form and send it back to school. Re-enrolling now also helps us with planning and budgeting for the next school year to ensure all classes’ equipment and material needs are met. **

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
It is hard to believe that we are finishing the third quarter today. Time flies! I’ve been happy to see the
children working so hard and having fun as they finish up this week and prepare for the start of the
fourth quarter on Monday. Only one quarter to go! Thank you for partnering with us as we enter the
academic home stretch of the school year. Please remind the children to continue working hard as they lay the foundation for their next grade level in 2022-2023.
On a more musical note, I am excited to announce that the Chamber Orchestra of Concordia University Chicago will be performing a concert at St. Paul on Saturday, March 26 at 7:00 p.m., with Dr. Maurice C. Boyer conducting. This concert will be free and open to the public. A freewill offering in support of the Chamber Orchestra will be received that evening for anyone wishing to donate. We invite you all to join us for this special musical event! St. Paul is proud to be a supporting congregation for the Concordia University system and we are so pleased to be one of the Orchestra’s stops on their Spring Music Tour.
Flyers are being sent home with all the children this afternoon with all of the information regarding the
concert. If you have any questions about the concert, please feel free to email me.

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
 
In an effort to further improve school communication, St. Paul is expanding its use of SchoolMessenger to send texts and emails to parents with the latest information and news pertaining to the school.  To help with this, please take the time to download the SchoolMessenger app to your smartphone or mobile device.  Once you download the app, sign up to create a free account on SchoolMessenger and you will receive instant notifications on your phone whenever we send important updates regarding school closings, upcoming events, and any other information that you will need to see quickly.  Once you are signed up, you will be able to manage your preferences on which form of communication you would prefer.   On Friday, February 18, we will be sending a test communication with SchoolMessenger.  After receiving the test message, we would like to hear back from those of you who downloaded the app and signed up, to receive your feedback on it.  It is our intention to make our communication as instantaneous, efficient, and manageable as possible for all of you.  We want every parent to see important information as soon as it is sent out.  Thank you so much for taking the time to download the SchoolMessenger app, sign up, and assist with your feedback.
 
We had a wonderful chapel service this past Wednesday, as we were visited by Aidan Schwarz and his family.  As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, Aidan struggles with Danon Disease, a rare disorder that is currently being researched.  The proceeds from the chapel offerings this month and Hearts for Jesus cards are going to the Do It for Aidan fund, which assists with research and all the struggles that Aidan and other children with the disease face.  It warmed by heart to see so many children interact with Aidan and get to know him.  It is always good to put a name to a face and see first-hand how our gifts can be used for God’s glory and to assist people in need!  I am so proud of the students here and how they show love and concern to others!  If you missed it, please visit our Facebook page and watch the February 9 chapel service.  It was truly remarkable.  God is good!

February Newsletter- A Note from the Principal

Dear St. Paul Cougar Family,
One of the many ways St. Paul Lutheran School performs outreach to our community is through chapel offerings. Students and teachers give offerings at chapel each week and the funds we collect are given each month to different organizations that help others. Here is our list this year:
Aug.-Sept: Crosses for Losses (Lutheran Church Charities)
October: Tom & Debi Going, Missionaries to Japan
Nov.-Dec.: Comfort Dog Ministry (Lutheran Church Charities)
January: Walcamp Outdoor Ministries
February: Aidan Schwarz “Do It for Aidan” money goes for research on Danon Disease
March: Wellington Mangoe / JP Foundation, which sends money to Liberia in Africa to build schools and give children books and supplies for their education

April: Seth Egger Scholarship Fund (Seth was a St. Paul graduate who was killed in an automobile accident in high school – his mother started this fund to give scholarships for students to attend St. Paul)

May: LCMS Life Ministry
By simply sending one dollar each week, or whatever the Holy Spirit leads you to give, St. Paul can be a
blessing to others in our local community and around the world. We ask that you prayerfully consider
sending a small gift each week with your child to help us be Jesus to a world that desperately needs Him.
Thank you from all of us at St. Paul Lutheran Church & School.
