At St. Paul UMC we're FOR our community and FOR our kids. We partner with schools to support students (and teachers!) in meaningful ways throughout the year.
Jumpstart
Our after school program offers free tutoring, mentoring, dinner, and fun activities to Largo Middle School students on Tuesdays. Find out more.
Pack-a-Sack
Every week we pack meals for middle schoolers to ensure chronically hungry children have something to eat on the weekends when school lunch isn't available.
Supply Drives
This year we're working directly with Frontier Elementary to provide needed school supplies and with Ponce De Leon Elementary to help provide uniforms. Working with the schools directly allows us to reach more kids and provide exactly what they need.
School Events
We plan to attend and help with school events throughout the year such as back to school events, open houses, STEM nights, meet the teacher and more. These events give us a chance to help the schools, and introduce St. Paul and our ministries to new families.
Teacher and Staff Appreciation
We're FOR our schools and FOR our teachers! During teacher appreciation week, we provide treats, cards and other tokens of thanks to let staff know we're grateful for all they do.
OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS
We're currently partnering with:
- Ponce De Leon Elementary
- Frontier Elementary
