Steubenville Youth Conference: Each summer, the University of Steubenville hosts Catholic Youth Conferences across the US. There are conference locations in Minnesota and Illinois. If you would like more information, please fill out the interest form by October 31. Once I have a list of interested students, I will plan a parent/student information meeting.

Kindergarteners are Supply Boot Camp Graduates!

During the first week of kindergarten, our students went through Kindergarten Boot Camp. They worked towards getting certified in how to use all the school supplies appropriately. The class sorted "Do" and "Do not" choices for each supply and then practiced using them! Everyone did their very best and by the end, each student was fully certified in kindergarten supplies!

Great work, kinders!!

Bingo is Back

Leader in Me Bingo is back for the 2024- 2025 school year. Bingo sheets will be sent home around the middle of each month. The youngest child in K-8 will bring the Bingo sheet for the family. Please work to fill out as many of the squares as you can by the end of the month. Then return the sheets. Any card that has at least one Bingo will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card. The September Bingo sheet will be sent home on Monday.
