Catholic Schools Week
As we kick off Catholic Schools Week, it is a moment to pause and truly celebrate the profound importance of Catholic education. Our community is undeniably blessed with the opportunity not only to delve into rigorous academics but also to deepen our understanding of our beloved faith in Jesus Christ. This shared blessing is our greatest treasure.
Throughout this week, we come together to celebrate the rich tapestry that is Catholic education. It's a world where our students not only gain knowledge but also nurture their spiritual growth. To our parents, students, and dedicated staff, each one of you plays a vital role in shaping this extraordinary community.
We wish everyone a week filled with kindness, compassion, hard work, and prayer. May the spirit of Catholic Schools Week illuminate our path, and may our shared commitment to faith and education continue to flourish. Please enjoy the letter below from Archbishop Thomas. Thank you.
Congratulations to our Schoolwide Learning Expectation Award Winners!
Super Kids-Super Sharing Event
Last week, some of our students and staff had the privilege of attending the Super Kids-Super Sharing event at the Pearson Community Center. They personally delivered the items generously contributed by our community, actively engaged in the thank you ceremony, participated in field activities, and aided with collection efforts. We extend heartfelt gratitude to our Saint's community for your invaluable contributions to this event, exemplifying our collective commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. Thank you for your support and generosity!

Life Skill of the Week
Our Life Skill for this week will focus on "Curiosity: Have a desire to learn and to seek a wide range of knowledge." Life long learners are naturally curious. Let your sense of wonder lead you to new and exciting places. Observe, ask questions, and seek out new knowledge as your love for learning grows and blossoms. Strive to be a life long learner by being curious of God's wonderous creations!
Extended Care & After School Activities
If your child participates in after-school activities and you pick up in Lane 2, please proceed to the outside of Lane 2, as the inside lane is reserved for aftercare pickup. Additionally, we kindly ask that if you arrive before the designated dismissal time, you park in a designated parking space to ensure a smooth flow in Lane 2. Your cooperation is invaluable in maintaining a safe and efficient environment for everyone at our school.
