Parents and St. Vincent de Paul School Supporters

The development of the whole person: spiritually, intellectually, personally, socially, and physically, is the focus of Catholic Education. The teachers, as partners with the parents, play a significant role in this educational ministry. St. Vincent de Paul School provides an environment with quality education focused on Catholic principles that will guide the children into living a productive Christ-like life. Volunteers are a valued part of our school community. Through the gift of their "time, treasures, and talent" St. Vincent de Paul is able to continue to provide a quality education for our students taking a step toward making a significant impact on the excellent education programs offered. Volunteers provide enrichment opportunities that enhance the educational experience for students while supporting our teachers and staff.

Supporters of our school have the opportunity to enhance and support the academic programs, which also helps students be excited about life - to have a positive attitude that will get them through challenging times as they grow and learn. By modeling for students the kinds of expectations they need to succeed, they are able to develop into productive citizens of the community.

St. Vincent de Paul School volunteers find personal satisfaction in what they do. There has never been a more exciting time to be part of the educational experience at St. Vincent de Paul School.
