A Voyage in Faith and Learning
Dear St. Paul Families,
Thank you again for your patience and understanding while we navigate the changing conditions associated with the Coronavirus. I am grateful for your support and words of encouragement. Since the email that I sent this morning, I have a few more updates. In trying to reduce the amount of time students gather in a large group setting, when students arrive tomorrow they will report directly to their classrooms. We will also be setting up more lunch tables in the gym. After each lunch, as is typical protocol, tables are washed down and disinfected.
Tomorrow our students are scheduled to meet in the church for Stations of the Cross. Instead of praying the Stations in the church, the students will stay in the classroom and our 2nd and 6th graders will lead us through the stations via the intercom.
We are constantly evaluating how we do things and are trying to think outside of the box in best practices for keeping students and staff healthy during this time. Again, I will keep you informed as things continue to evolve.
COMING EVENTS Mar 17-19 – 5th Grade Used Book Sale, after school in upper wing Mar 18 – All School Mass, in honor of St. Joseph, 9am Mar 19 – Popcorn Thursday (Hosted by 2nd & 6th grades) Mar 23-27 – Spring Break

Earlier this year I shared the news with you regarding Señora Villada’s diagnosis of breast cancer. Over the past few months she has completed chemotherapy. I am very proud of her grit and perseverance in getting through her medical appointments, dealing with the side-effects of the medication, and staying extremely committed to teaching our students. Next week, Señora Villada will undergo surgery to remove the tumor. Her recovery period is expected to be anywhere from four to six weeks. Her goal is to come back even sooner. She’s a strong fighter! During her absence, Mrs. Anna Billeaudeaux, our part-time second grade teacher, will teach Spanish. This will not impact Mrs. Billeaudeaux’s schedule with the second graders. In preparing for her absence, Señora Villada and Mrs. Billeaudeaux have been working closely with one another planning lessons to ensure the continued learning of the Spanish curriculum. Please keep Señora Villada in your prayers next week. May the surgery go well, may her body heal quickly, and may she return to us quickly. We ask Saint Peregrine of Lasiosi, patron of those suffering with cancer, to intercede for her and lift our prayers to our Heavenly Father. In Christ’s Peace, Kelli Braud

• Put used tissues directly in a wastebasket.
• Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands, if you do not have a tissue.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available-You could have this available as people enter the school and enter each classroom.

Before you go, remind your kids to:
This year, as we focus on the Fruit of the Spirit, we are also

GOOD MANNERS. Each month, we will work on a different
