Blessing of the Animals

Thank you for joining us yesterday morning as we celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi with a special Blessing of the Animals. The first and seventh graders led us in a beautiful prayer service, and Father Raphael blessed our pets, stuffed animals, and even photos of pets! It was a heartwarming celebration, honoring Saint Francis’ deep love for all of God's creatures.

Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us!

Pen Pals

This week, our third graders received their first Pen Pal letters! They will be exchanging letters throughout the year with a third-grade class in Little Rock, Arkansas, taught by Ms. Kimble's sister.

This fun activity will allow our students the opportunity to share their experiences, while also learning about what life is like for their peers in Little Rock, all while practicing their letter-writing skills.

We are so excited to see the creativity and thoughtfulness students will put into their letters. This is not only a chance to make new friends but also to explore the unique differences and similarities between our two vibrant communities!

Girls Volleyball at SF FLAME Tournament

The Shamrocks shone brightly at this year's SF FLAME Girls Volleyball tournament!

A huge congratulations to our 4th Grade Girls and 5th Grade Girls teams for becoming Silver Bracket Champions! Shout out to the 6th Grade Girls for securing 2nd place in the Gold Bracket, and to the 8th Grade Girls for earning 2nd place in the Silver Bracket! It’s clear that everyone put in a tremendous effort, and we are incredibly proud of everyone who participated.
