St Paul Parochial School

The 5th-8th grade classes attended SCIENCE, ENGINEERING & ART DAY 2026 at OSU. The students enjoyed many fun exhibits and hands-on activities as well as getting to watch a wood-bat baseball game between the Corvallis Knights and Nighthawks. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun memories were made! ☺️

The pre-k 4's group had the opportunity to spend part of their morning with Mrs. Stout in the kindergarten classroom as a preview for next year. The students enjoyed an interactive book and completed a project for their families! The students showed a lot of enthusiasm and excitement about being in kindergarten this fall! Mrs. Stout is really looking forward to a great upcoming school year with this new group of students as well! 🍎

Some of the third and fourth graders led morning prayer by sharing about the Ten Commandments. The students did a great job and gave applicable examples of each commandment. ✝️

The seventh and eighth graders did a wonderful job reenacting the story of Jacob and Esau for morning prayer. The acting was "on point" and everyone enjoyed it!

Thank you SPPS teachers for the love, patience, faith, and dedication you pour into our students every single day. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are so blessed to have you guiding and inspiring our children. ❤️ We LOVE our SPPS teachers! (Be sure to check out the video that our students made for their teachers on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.)

Some of the fifth and sixth graders led morning prayer this morning by acting out the story of David and Goliath. The students did a fantastic job and the play was enjoyed by all! We can all remember that it doesn’t matter how big we are, but what matters is how big our faith is in God!

Congratulations to our SPPS confirmation students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last night! Many blessings to you all as you continue to strengthen and live out your faith! ✝️

Congratulations to the 2nd grade students who received their First Holy Communion on Sunday! May God richly bless all of you! ✝️

Parent's Night Out was a success and fun was had by all! The kids decorated flower pots and planted sunflowers, made their own mini pizzas for dinner, played on the playground, played teacher vs. kids at kickball, went on a scavenger hunt to find their dessert, enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fire and eating s'mores, and ended the night with the movie, Hoppers! It was a fun-filled night!!! 😊

The 3rd and 4th graders went on a field trip to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall with Mrs. Moir and Mrs. Montanez to play their recorders with the Oregon Symphony. It was such a fun experience for the students! 🪈🎶.

Happy National Principal’s Day to our AMAZING principal! Dr. Amanda Davidson has been our fearless leader the past 16 years! The SPPS faculty, staff, parish, and St. Paul community are blessed by one of the best! Not only is she supportive of her faculty and staff, but she works tirelessly to ensure the whole child is being taught. She’s not just our principal, but also a classroom teacher. She wears so many hats, but wears them all with a smile on her face and a positive attitude! She is truly a blessing and we greatly appreciate her so much! Thank you for ALL that you do, especially everything behind the scenes! You are our Superhero! ❤️

The 2026 Science Fair was a huge success! The 5th-8th graders did a great job preparing, showcasing, and presenting their projects today!

The kindergarten class led morning prayer by sharing different prayers they had written. Some of the students shared prayers of praise/thanksgiving, some shared prayers of repentance, while others shared prayers asking for God's help. Way to go, kinders! 😊

The SPPS Spring Book Fair is here!!! Stop by and see Mrs. Nicklous and stock up for summer! 📚Happy Reading!!! 📚

The SPPS preschool class has been busy the past few weeks! The students learned about insects and made the cutest ladybug hats, had some “special guests” from Mrs. Davidson’s chicken coop, made Easter cards for their families, shared book reports, and had fun engineering Lego towers while using teamwork! Mrs. Phillips and her preschool team know how to have a good time and make learning so fun for the kids! 😊

Thank you to the St. Paul Parish, St. Paul Parish Pastoral Council, and SPPS for hosting such a wonderful celebration honoring Fr. Christopher’s 25th Anniversary of his priestly ordination! A special thanks to the SPPS students and Mrs. Abesa who led the reception in a song! It was a wonderful turnout and a great evening celebrating a huge milestone for Fr. Christopher! ✝️
