Thank you to the Wall Street Journal (Oct. 27, 2022) and The Nation’s Report Card for highlighting the success of Catholic schools, especially throughout the pandemic. “Today, the divergence between Catholic schools and the public ones is so great that if all U.S. Catholic schools were a state, their 1.6 million students would rank first in the nation across the NAEP reading and math tests for fourth and eighth graders.” To their point, check out the charts…

Thank you to all the grandparents and special guests that joined us today and to all our wonderful performers, including the Advanced Band.  

Yesterday our 5th grade students presented their “Story Quilts” on a historical fiction book of their choosing.  The idea was to pick four symbols from the book to illustrate and explain why they were significant. 

Our new “Girls Who Code” club for SJS 5th grade girls meets every Friday at lunchtime in the Innovation Lab. Under the guidance of STREAM teacher Mrs. Poth, the group works on a set curriculum designed to elevate coding skills, build camaraderie, and educate about careers in technology.

On Friday our Pre-K3, Pre-K4, and Kindergarten – Grade 3 students met some real-life heroes while enjoying a presentation and hands-on fun with the Manchester Fire Department.
