A Protecting Youth Workshop is required if you plan to volunteer in any way at St. Patrick Catholic School.  I use parent volunteers in my classroom, so if this is something that you would like to do, you must have taken this workshop.  Please call the school office to sign up for one of the above workshop dates.

Play Today

You say you love your children,
And are concerned they learn today.
So am I; that’s why I’m providing
A variety of kinds of play.

You’re asking me the value
Of blocks and other such play?
Your children are solving problems.
They will use that skill everyday.

You’re asking what’s the value
Of having your children play?
Your daughter’s creating a tower.
She may be a builder someday.

You’re saying you don’t want your son
To play in that “sissy” way?
He’s learning to cuddle a doll.
He may be a father someday.

You’re questioning the learning centers;
They just look like useless play?
Your children are making choices;
They’ll be on their own someday.

You’re worried your children aren’t learning,
And later they’ll pay?
They’re learning a pattern for learning,
For they will be learners always.
