Magic & Mischief Wrap Up—Karen Welch and Kristin Kantroski
Remember Magic & Mischief? Of course you do! How could you forget it? March 10th seems
so long ago, doesn’t it? We have had I-STEPS and Spring Break since then and the Spirit
Run and summer vacations are now on top of mind!
But let us take you back to March 10th because we have some unfinished business, and outside
of the birth of your child, it might have been the most memorable night of your life! We’re
kidding (kind of). Our fans told us everyone had a smashing, great time! Was it the Mind
Tripping Show? Or were you mesmerized by Norman the Strolling Magician? Did you get
some can't-live-without goodies from the auction? Or did the tasty Philly Cheese Steak Slid-
ers, crafted by The Market, win you over? We want to thank you for showing up, for laugh-
ing, for making memories, for appreciating the volunteers and most of all for donating! The
event accomplished its goal of raising A LOT of money for Saint Paul Catholic School!
After event expenses were paid out, we raised over $64,000!
Of that capital, $15,725 was raised during the exciting Fund-A-Cause paddle raise giving im-
mediate access to funds for the Library Makerspace, paving the GaGa Pit and, crossing our
fingers, we’ll have enough left over to add something fun to the playground! Please keep a
lookout, because we will want your feedback to make that final decision. Planning is current-
ly under-way to turn our Library in to a place where kids will continue to explore what they
are curious about by hands-on inventing and creative making. The 2018-19 school year will
be so fun with Mrs. Kaye!
Just how successful was this event? Our goal was to raise $40,000. This number was present-
ed to us by the school as an estimated revenue that is factored in to the school’s annual budg-
et. Round of applause to everyone! WE SURPASSED THE SCHOOL’S EXPECTATION!
WE DID IT!

3 Saint Paul Catholic School — The Link — April 19, 2018
The 6th grade girls really played hard to win the CYO Championship. In the first game of the tournament, Saint Paul's defeat-
ed Aquinas in a back and forth game. Due to an injury and a scheduling conflict with a couple of our players, the Panthers
played most of the first tournament game with only four players and fought hard to pull out a 15-14 victory. In the semi-final
game, Saint Paul's play a great all around game and defeated St. Stan’s 20-16 to move on to the championship. In the champi-
onship game at Andrean High School versus St. John Evangelist, the Panthers fell behind 4-0 in the first quarter, but then real-
ly buckled down defensively and held SJE to only four points in the remaining three quarters, winning the Championship 11-
8. Congratulations to Brooke Byvoets, Ava Jaime, Isabella Beach, Sophia Cavanaugh, Becca Cavanaugh and Mary
Cespedes on a great season and tournament. Way to go, Panthers!!
