St. Philip’s School Reaches Marathon Goals

St. Philip’s School students walked around Litchfield on October 3rd with their annual marathon fundraiser. The students reached their goal this year and will be treated with a field trip to the aquarium at the Mall of America on November 18th.

Principal Andrea Dietrich says the students started their marathon at the Church of St. Philip and then made a loop through the town. She says she’d like to thank the community for all of the generous donations.

Dietrich says additional donations are always welcome to the St. Philip’s Catholic School. She says the school is collecting food this month for the Food Shelf and they will have a bin for collecting donations at the Light Up Litchfield event later this month.

The St. Philip’s students will celebrate St. Nick Night with an event on Friday, December 5th from 4-to-6 p.m. at their school. Fifth grader Henning says there will be lots of fun activities to enjoy that evening.

Henning says he has been enrolled at St. Philip’s School since Kindergarten so this is his last year. He says they would like to thank all of the veterans for their service as this is Veterans Day.

The St. Philip’s School students will have a Christmas concert at the church on December 18th at 1 p.m., and again at 6 p.m. The Seeds of Faith fundraiser has been scheduled for January 31st with a dinner and the Dueling Guitars doing an 80s theme. Tickets will go on sale soon. For more information about events at St. Philip’s School or about enrollment, call 693-6283.
