St. A's School Updates
April 29, 2024 - May 3, 2024
FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:5-8
"In today’s gospel reading, Jesus said He is the vine and we are the branches, and that just as the branch of the vine cannot bear fruits by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can we bear fruit unless we abide in Him. He said if we cut off from him, we can do nothing, we can bear no fruit."
Many people in our world have lost this connection to Jesus, because they think they can move on without Jesus in their lives. Christ is the source of the values of tolerance, sacrificial love, understanding and forgiveness which help relationships to thrive." As we reflect on the word, it is important that we ask ourselves, do we have room for Jesus in our heart? As branches, prune away anything that keeps us from living as children of the Word. Fill your life with Christ, and you will never empty, Amen.

Principal's Message
Good morning Parents/Guardians,
St Athanasius STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Club participated in the first-ever Archdiocesan PK-University level STREAM EXPO. The goal is to share with our families, benefactors, supporters and the wider community the innovative and engaging interdisciplinary STEM/STREAM learning that has been taking place in the Catholic Schools across the Archdiocese at all levels of learning.
This year, St Athanasius STEM Club presented a high school level marble roller coaster and won first place for best overall quality of presentation. We took the top award! We congratulate our students, and our Teachers Mr. Clifford Bryant, and Mr. Joseph Faye. Well Done.
We currently offer Robotics, and Digital Arts Elective. We need your support to continue to grow our STREAM program. Students who engage in STEM activities are said to be well-prepared for the future. In order to be successful in the today's workforce, scholars must develop 21st century skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and communication. All these skills can be developed through STEM classes.
Please support our school fundraiser, the Designer Bag BINGO. All proceeds benefits St. Athanasius School. STEM today is the 21st century way.
Blessing
Mrs. Bradwell
