Back-to-school socials

To kick off the new school year, the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School’s PTO sponsored a breakfast for new and returning families to meet each other. The students played in the gym afterward while parents chatted. Pictured (from left) are pre-kindergarten teacher Susan Baars, Jennifer, Ben, Sophie, Henry and Matt Girotto, and principal Carolyn Sears. The first week of school began with an afternoon where students could meet their teacher, followed the next day by a full day of school for students while parents attended a back-to-school event to take care of business. Later in the week, the PTO Hospitality Committee hosted a welcome-back coffee for parents, and the week ended with an all-school Mass where eighth graders “stepped up” into their roles of leaders.
