Students in grades third through fifth will attend a special presentation at 1:00; students in grades sixth through eighth will attend at 2:00. Both presentations will be held in the cafeteria. Teachers and staff will attend at 3:30 p.m. in the school library. Parents, you are invited to attend the presentation at 6:00 (this is a change from the previously advertised time at 6:30) in the school cafeteria. We look forward to a positive response to all the presentations. As an incentive for our parents, we will have special door prizes, light refreshments, and a ROYAL DRESS DAY for your child. We hope that you will make plans to attend! Thank you to Coach Roger, Director of Discipline, for scheduling this important seminar. This is an effort to work together with our students, teachers, and parents to have a Bully Free campus. Thank you for your time and efforts!

PTC NEWS The PTC is looking for a few good women or men to consider being a candidate for one of the available officer positions: President, Vice-President, Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, or Treasurer. PTC general meetings are held four times a year and Executive meetings are held every other month. Some additional time and work is involved in planning and preparing for the fall parish festival, turkey bingo, Christmas Parties, and fundraisers. The PTC organization’s primary objective is to foster a closer union between home and the school; between the parents and the teachers, and thus promote the best interest of the students of our school. The second objective is to initiate fundraising activities to help offset specific school expenses and support special projects of the school. If you would like to be considered for one of the mentioned positions, please stop by the school office and pick up an application. The deadline is April 30th.

April News
Dear St. Paul Royal Families,
Blessings to you and your families this Easter Season! On Holy Thursday, we
entered the season by celebrating the Triduum. The liturgies of the Triduum recall
the events that revealed both the depth of God’s love for humankind and the way of
eternal life. On Holy Thursday, we ritually recommit ourselves to following Jesus’ way
of loving service. On Good Friday, we reclaim the gift of Jesus’ life for us and join our
prayers with his for the salvation of the world. On Holy Saturday, we remember God’s
work of creation and redemption, with an emphasis on the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. Then we participate in the sacraments that join us to new life in Christ;
baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist. At last, on Easter Sunday we rejoice in the new
and eternal life that flows from following Christ—the Way, the Truth, and The Life.
