School Philosophy
Saint Paschal Baylon School exists for the purpose of educating and encouraging Catholic students to be self-motivated learners who acknowledge the importance of intellectual growth as well as the necessity of becoming the best person they can be, maximizing the gifts and talents God has given them.
Chief among these gifts is the ability to make good choices. Therefore, in cooperation with parents who are the primary educators of their children, we accept our responsibility to help students make educated and positive decisions reflective of Gospel values.
We believe that an active relationship of the school with the families and the larger parish community is an integral part of training our students for a positive role in society.
We are committed to providing a sound education involving a well-rounded curriculum containing the basics with an emphasis on creativity and experiential activities that will benefit our children now and in their future.
As members of a Catholic school community, we are also committed to
providing opportunities for children to assume their role in the
Catholic Church community. We do this by striving to create a Christ-centered
environment in our classes and by involving the students in liturgies,
church services and projects in an effort to develop a strong concept
of church.
THEME FOR THE 2009-2010 SCHOOL YEAR
"Celebrating a Year of God's Peace..."
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. Be worried for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." |
