First we explored the parts of a pumpkin and then PreK 3 made a geoboard with their pumpkins. So fun!




This week, our 5th and 1st Grade Saints led a Living Rosary in a beautiful and creative way—using small pumpkins for the beads and larger ones to mark each decade. As we welcomed the changing of the seasons and admired the bounty of fall, our students reminded us that prayer and gratitude are at the heart of everything we do.

Pre k loved earning their pj day!






Gearing up for Halloween! Prek is loving all the Halloween crafts and activities

The last time Father David Murray walked these halls, he was a student here! Today, he returned to celebrate Mass — and even more special, his mom is our own Mrs. Murray!
What a blessing to see how God continues to guide his journey and our school family. 🙏✨
Once a Saint, always a Saint!
