Dear Parent,
On Friday, October 6, St. Vincent de Paul School Community held its 28th annual SPREE dinner and auction. The night was a memorable night of “coming together” to enjoy good food, great conversation, and an opportunity to support our school and parish. We appreciate the support of those in attendance, along those who could not attend but supported SPREE in many ways.
A very special thank you to Jamie and Jeff Eikmeier, Jacque and Jess Kroenke, Courtney and Mark McGuire, Tara and Mike Sands as the 2023 SPREE General Chairs, and Nancy Maiers, SPREE Project Manager. They all went above and beyond to make this event happen, along with hundreds of volunteers. Everyone’s commitment is a testimony that the St. Vincent de Paul community remains strong and faithful.
Thank you to all who donated to our Fund-An-Item. The proceeds from this year’s Fund-An-Item will go to a new scoreboard in the gym. The present scoreboard is the original and in much need of an update. Thank you for your support of this project. We went a little over our goal of $50,000.00 the night of SPREE. Prior to that night, money was donated by the St. Vincent de Paul Men’s Club and the Sports Board. We appreciate the ongoing support of these two groups!
In addition, a very, very special thank you to the grandparents of our students! They continually support our school in so many ways, and we cannot begin to express our appreciation for their ongoing support with this project and their grandchildren. We all have some very special people supporting and helping us. Thank you!
We look forward to seeing everyone at Conferences. Thank you again for your support and kindness.
Happy November!

Inclement weather
With the cold weather and SNOW upon us, we want to remind you about the expectations for winter apparel at recess time. For all the students in Grades K-8, winter coats, gloves or mittens, and something to cover the head are important. In the event of inclement weather, please listen to radio station KFAB (1110 AM) or any local TV station for school closing information. St. Vincent de Paul follows the decision made by Omaha Catholic Schools.
Also, if sending your female students with leggings, please remember that leggings must extend to the ankle bone. Socks must be worn and leggings should not be worn as pants.
