We have enjoyed our visits from St. Nick and St. Lucy, a wonderful Panther tradition! Thanks to Mrs. Korzow for taking such good care of these costumes...They have been worn year after year for decades!

We'd like to welcome Mrs. Christina Merriman to the SPCS Faculty as the new Language Arts teacher for the second semester. Here is a little note from her:
I moved from Texas to Indiana last year. My husband and I really enjoy living in Valparaiso. This is a wonderful place to raise our son, Wyatt. This is my 7th year teaching and I truly enjoy it! I am looking forward to teaching at Saint Paul's school in January.
