On Wednesday, October 23, students in grades 6-8 attended a one-man performance by Gerald Dickens, great-great grandson of Charles Dickens.
Dickens, who resides in Oxford, England, performed Dr. Marigold, a short story first published by Charles Dickens in 1865.  
The Douglas County Historical Society, through a grant from the Mammel Foundation, made this experience possible for our students.
Gerald Dickens reported afterward on his blog how impressed he was by the questions the SVdP students asked after the performance.

Lauren Cole was the 2023-2024 Knights of Columbus Free Throw International Champion for her age group. She won the local competition at St. Vincent de Paul, as well as the district, regional, and state competitions. Lauren was awarded the international championship after making the highest number of free throws across all of the competitions.

A list of winners has been included from the Knights of Columbus website.

Grandparents and Special Friend Day is right around the corner! On Friday, November 8th, we will be hosting the 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade students and their grandparents or special guests.

Do you have leftover Halloween treats and want to make a difference? Our Student Ambassadors are here to help! For the third year in a row, they will be gathering candy donations for Carole’s House of Hope, a shelter that helps women and their children escape abusive situations. Last year, we successfully delivered around 200 pounds of candy to spread some joy. We encourage you to send your child with any extra candy to school. The collection will take place from November 1st to November 8th, and the candy will be delivered shortly after the collection ends. Thank you for your generosity in supporting these women and children in celebrating the holiday season!

Attention parents! We are so excited to be partnering with Omaha-based nonprofit, Smart Gen Society, to provide you with a FREE workshop about how to keep your child safe online.

Digital Branding: How to build a positive digital brand to protect reputation and future opportunities.
Communication: How to create open lines of communication with your kids about online safety. Safety: How to protect your family's privacy, safety, and mental health.

Be sure to mark your calendars for Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 2 P.M. This presentation will be happening at St Vincent de Paul School in Kampschnieder Hall.
