• Calling all parents of readers and soon-to-be readers at St. Paul! The Parent Council wishes to extend a hearty invitation to a lively discussion of children's literature and how the American publishing market is meeting the literary needs of our young readers. We will take an excursion into the relational concerns of Harry Potter and see just how his circumstances reflect the realities of a Jane Austen heroine. From that we will carry on to discuss how St. Paul can be an avenue into literary discoveries of beauty and imagination through a new approach to our summer book sale. There are many wonderful and precocious readers at St. Paul - a mark of the strengths and outcomes of a St. Paul education. We wish to honor all of the children at St. Paul with a summer book reading excursion that fulfills their ever-growing capacity as reader, thinker, and creator. The event will be held on Friday, March 8, 8:00 - 9:30 a.m. in the C.S. Lewis Library.
Christine Shih, a Jane Austen scholar and mother of first grader Meredith Shih, will lead this discussion and explain her vision for a new direction into summer reading through developing the creative imagination of our children.It is not a requirement, but if you wish to read in advance for this discussion, please refer to Jane Austen's novel 'Mansfield Park' and J.K. Rowling's novel 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' There will be a few copies of each book available in the office up for purchase, so put on your reading glasses and mark your calendars for a valuable discussion on literature!
On the morning of February 6th, we will have our annual Sweetheart Moms' Breakfast. All JK-5th grade moms are encouraged to take their children to breakfast. School will begin at 8:55 am. We will host a breakfast in the Dining Hall for all 6th grade moms and their children at 7:00 am.
