We had special visitors this week! A few St. Patrick Catholic alumni hosted a Q&A on "life as a freshman" at St. Michael Catholic High School for our graduating 8th grade class; Lane Raley, Julianna Fredriksen, Timothy Mullek, Paige Hatfield.
This year’s annual Special Person’s Spaghetti Luncheon was a joyous and successful occasion; the celebration of family and friends coming together to enjoy good food and great company. Thanks to the Volunteers & PTO for all of their hard work!
Austin Gontarski (6th Grd) purchased and accumulated 1,726 meals/snacks for the backpack program and an additional 280 food units for families; all were donated to the Food Bank, Catholic Social Services in Robertsdale. Austin used his own Christmas money, plus raised over $450 in cash to purchase some of the food. He also went door to door asking for food donations. We are proud of Austin, giving and helping others in our community. Helping Austin carry the items to the Food Back were classmates, Myles Davis and Jonah Daughtery.
Many thanks to Roberta & Tim Mullek and all their volunteers for a great Wild Irish Night. Also, sincere thanks to Amber Dunlavy and her volunteers for the Leprechaun Chase. The combined proceeds amounted to $40,349.94 for our children. — Sr. Margaret Harte
