Long live the Queen… of the Classroom! 👑. Who's your favorite Shamrock King or Queen?
We’re kicking off Teacher Appreciation Week by honoring our royalty—like Mrs. Minh Gavino, who rules with wisdom, wit, and heart! 💚 Thanks to Jolene O.’s grandma for the royal regalia—every queen needs a cape, crown, and scepter to match her magic.
Let’s celebrate our educators all week long—they wear many hats (and sometimes crowns!) and they make Saint Patrick Catholic School the truly special place it is. 📚
TUESDAY
Bring a classroom supply or item off your teacher's wish list.

May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth.
Mental health matters. Many people around us are struggling, and they deserve care, understanding, and support. Mental health challenges don’t define a person; they are simply part of the human experience. By having open, compassionate conversations, we can break the stigma and create a culture of support.
Let’s stand together to ensure no one has to struggle alone. The Archdiocese of Seattle is committed to the well-being of all students, staff, and their families and has partnered with Care Solace to provide an additional layer of support. Care Solace navigates the mental health care system on your behalf to find community-based providers and secure appointments as quickly as possible with the best care possible. The Archdiocese of Seattle pays for Care Solace coordination services.
If you or someone you know needs help, Care Solace is here for you. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365 at Care Solace by calling 888-515-0595 or visiting www.caresolace.com/archseattle to search for a provider.
