Students Living the Virtues - January's virtue focus is on forgiveness and showing accountability.
In January, we want to celebrate Hospitality by remembering God's forgiveness.
The Saint Ambrose Way tenet we will be connecting with in January is Be Accountable.
Holiness is a state of being devoted to God and living a life that glorifies God.
A few ways students can show holiness during January are:
Owning their actions and learning from their mistakes.
Always being truthful.
If you win, do not brag. If you lose, do not show anger.
Behave so all can learn.
Showing empathy towards others, thinking how their actions will affect those around them.
Praying to God for forgiveness of their sins.
Practicing forgiveness in their homes, classrooms and on the playground.
Saints whose feast days are in January:
Saint Andre Besset - January 6
Saint Sebastian - January 20
Saint Timothy - January 26
Saint Titus - January 26
Saint Thomas Aquinas - January 28

Mission and Philosophy
Mission (what we offer)
We at Saint Ambrose School are part of a vibrant Catholic community supporting and nurturing
each child on their journey with Christ.
Through exceptional academics, embracing each child’s unique strengths and needs, and
joyfully engaging in prayer and service, we take a holistic, virtue-based approach to student
education and experiences. This is the Saint Ambrose Way.
Vision (what we aspire to)
As a thriving Catholic school, we create meaningful impact though each family we support and
student we send into the world.
By helping form the whole child, students are not only prepared well for the next level of
education, but life as Christian adults living the Saint Ambrose Way.
PHILOSOPHY
The Saint Ambrose community recognizes the partnership between parents, students, staff,
administration and parishioners in providing for the development of its members as people of
faith who worship, learn and grow together. As a community we have a responsibility to
support families- as the primary educators of their children- while providing enriching
experiences that promote a sense of belonging and responsibility to a community.
