Our Saints Community is Sensational!
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us for our Welcome Back BBQ event! The tremendous success of this gathering truly set the perfect tone for the start of a new and exciting school year. Your presence, enthusiasm, and support made this event a memorable occasion for everyone involved.
And a HUGE thank you to the amazing Knights of Columbus. These gentelman made sure our Saints community was well fed. We are so grateful for their efforts. This event would not have been possible without them.
Here's to another remarkable year of learning, growth, and community!
Spotlight on STREAM
We're thrilled to share some snapshots of our 4th and 2nd graders diving into the world of SMARTLab technology, which is brand new to our school this year. These innovative tools are revolutionizing the way our students learn and engage with their studies, sparking curiosity, and creativity. With SMARTLab, our 4th and 2nd graders are exploring, collaborating, and experiencing education like never before. We can't wait to see their growth and achievements throughout the year.

Lifeskill of the Week
Our Life Skill for this week will focus on "Courage: Do what is right rather than what is easy." Be willing to step out of your comfort zone. Try new things and don't be afraid to fail. Failure is sometimes our greatest teacher. Anything worth achieving is never easy, have the courage to take on challenges. Have a growth mind set and never give up!
