                                    Kids' Rummage Sale

                                    The Kids' Rummage Sale - a SPPCS Catholic Schools' Week tradition for over twenty years - will be held on February 2nd this year.  All the money from this sale goes to reputable organizations that help hurting children. This is a way we can clean out our houses, and help needy people at the same time. To have a successful sale we are looking for new or gently used items that would appeal to children, such as: any clean and working toys (please include batteries, if needed), books, jewelry, puzzles, sports equipment, movies, candles, decorative items, action figures, games, etc. We do not accept clothing or stuffed animals, unless they are like new. We are accepting items at this time.  For more info contact Mrs. Judy Haberl (939-6482).

                                    Congratulations to the SPPCS boys' basketball team and their coaches, Vern Tepen and Bryan Metzger on taking 3rd place in the Diocesan Tournament.  They beat Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in the first round, but lost to number one seed Queen of All Saints in the next round.  Their final game of the tournament and season was against number three seeded Immaculate Conception.  The Falcons had played the Crusaders twice already this season, losing both times.  The third time proved to be a charm as the fifth seeded Falcons knocked off ICS to win 27-26, and claim the third place plaque.  Congratulations to the Falcons on a great season!


                                    Our Fabulous Falcons!

                                    Fabulous Falcons are students who are "caught" being good.  Students may earn a Fab Falcon Award by being kind to a classmate, helping a teacher without being asked, or any other good deed.  Way to go!
