There is no school Wednesday, November 11, in honor of Veteran’s Day.

November Prayer Request 
During the month of November, the Church calls for special prayers for deceased family members, loved ones, and friends. Administrators, faculty, staff, and students at St. John Paul II School invite you to submit a list of your family members, loved ones, and friends who have gone before us in faith. Our school community will pray for the repose of their souls throughout the month. To complete a submission, please click HERE.

Parent Survey
We encourage all parents and guardians to take a few minutes to complete the community survey sent by Mr. Redding on November 4. Your feedback is valuable and helps us better understand the experiences of our families as we continue to strengthen the JPII community. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! 

Save the Date! Food Drive and Community Mass
NJHS and NHS members will be conducting a food drive from November 2 through November 13 for the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry. The food drive will conclude with a community mass at Our Lady of Victory on Sunday, November 15 at 11:00 AM when our NJHS and NHS members will present a portion of the collection at the altar for a blessing. Coffee, donuts and refreshments will follow Mass in the Parish Center at the church. All are welcome to attend!

Change for Change to benefit C&I Veteran’s Outreach Center
Senior Quinn Dillon is bringing back Change for Change! Around the school in the Theology classrooms and the main office, there will be collection bins. We encourage each and every student to bring in dollar bills or coins. All proceeds from the donations will go to the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center. If we raise a total of $400 dollars per school, each school will be rewarded with a dress down day. Collection starts Thursday and goes through Thanksgiving. Please think about donating to benefit our Veterans.
