God has blessed St. Paul with generous contributors through the area parishes, our families, alumni, and community organizations. It is through the support of these constituencies that we are able to make the joys of learning come alive every day at St. Paul Catholic School, allowing us in turn to server our neighbors and others. There are many ways - not just financial - that you can help St. Paul continue its mission to prepare students to strive for excellence spiritually, academically, physically and socially, and to be life-long learners with strong Catholic values. Thank you for prayerfully considering how you might share your time, talent and treasure with St. Paul Catholic School.

Careful consideration is given to each list and the school purchases what the budget will allow but there are several items that we are not able to buy. You may give cash for the school to purchase specific items or donate new or gently used items. In some cases, the teachers may be looking for a particular brand, model or feature so please call the development office at (206) 725-0780 or (541) 485-5291 before purchasing or donating used items. |
