His contact information is 989-327-4792 and kneedham@stpls.org. May God bless his deliberation.
Hot Lunch for April
Hot Lunch menus for April will be coming home with students either today or tomorrow. Please note that there will be no hot lunch served until Monday, April 8 due to NFdL having spring break the first week of the month. Please have your form with payment turned in by Thursday, April 4. Thank you!
CES Bowling Event for Parents
Our Christian Education Society has reserved a few hours of bowling at Ledgeview Lanes for our church and school parents/adults. We hope you’ll be able to join our fellow St. Paul’s parents for some fun, fellowship, and (maybe??) some 300 scores! The event will take place on April 21, from 2:00-4:00 PM. Please sign up on this link: Adult Bowling Event by Friday, April 12th so the CES coordinator can reserve an appropriate amount of lanes. Please note that all bowlers will pay for their session at the alley, so no prepayments will need to be made at St. Paul’s.

Now that the basketball season is over, we need to get all of the uniforms returned to the school. If you have not yet returned yours, please wash them and get them to Mr. Mathwig. Thank you!

Hot Lunch Server
We are incredibly grateful for the past several years of service by Bev Buerger as she and her husband Don have run our hot lunch program. Bev will be stepping down from the position at the end of our school year, which means it's time to begin our search for our next hot lunch server. If you would like to consider taking on this role, please speak with Mr. Hartwig or Pastor Kampman. Thank you.
School Cleaning Coordinator
We are incredibly grateful for the past several years of service by Wendy Holmes as she has run our school cleaning program. Wendy will be stepping down from the position at the end of our school year, which means it's time to begin our search for our next school cleaning coordinator. If you would like to consider taking on this role, please speak with Mr. Hartwig or Pastor Kampman. Thank you.
School Closings and Delays
When we have a winter storm, school delays and closings will be announced on KFIZ 1450am, WTCX 96.1 and WFDL 97.7fm. As a rule, if North Fond du Lac schools are canceled or delayed, St. Paul’s will be, too. St. Paul’s may not be mentioned separately by name with school closings, it may be announced as North Fond du Lac schools, both public and private. If you signed up for the Weather Alert system, you will also be notified of closings and delays in the way you requested. If you signed up for this service and have not been notified after the first delay or cancellation, please contact the office. If there is a different way you would like to be contacted, please email Mrs. Surian and she can get the change submitted. Mrs. Surian’s email is suriana@stpaulslutherannfdl.com When there is a 2 hour delay there is no Before School Care.
