St. Rose is home to many clubs, which run at various times throughout the year.
Our curriculum includes academic enrichment programs with components in and out of the classroom designed to reinforce in-class lessons and apply concepts to real-world challenges. Among the programs featured:
You Gotta Believe Basketball Camp for students in grades 2 through 9 will be held at St. Rose School for two one-week sessions.
We are teaming up with Team DIG to bring 7 weeks of summer camp to St. Rose School.
All children entering grades Pre-K through 4 may attend, regardless of which school they attend.
St. Rose School

The highlight of the week is Friday Mass. At 9:00 a.m. students in grades Kindergarten to 8th grade meet in the church to share in the Liturgy. Each week classes take turns being readers, gift bearers and leaders of song. Students also assist as altar servers. Our Principal is present at Friday Mass, and many school families join us, which makes it a very special time for our school community.
We also celebrate Holy Days together and have special liturgies for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Another highlight of the year is Grandparents/Special Persons Day, which begins with a beautiful Mass, filling the church with all the people our students hold dear.
Students and grades 3 through 8 receive the sacrament of Reconciliation during school twice a year and gather in the church as a school community to pray the Stations of the Cross during Lent.
St. Rose School students receive preparation for the following sacraments:
First Reconciliation -- 2nd Grade
First Holy Communion -- 2nd Grade
Confirmation -- a 2 year preparation period starting in 6th grade
Our students are blessed to have religion class as part of their daily curriculum; we also participate in a variety of service outreaches as a school community including food drives, coat drives, a mission drive to support needy children in Ghana among many others.
Sister Thaddeus, a member of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, teaches 7th grade religion and plans our weekly Liturgies and all school retreats. She also runs the Lenten Mission every year and prepares students one on one who receive their sacraments at unique time. Her presence is a gift to our community.
Our Pastor, Fr. Peter Cipriani, is very involved with the school community; he is a great support to the Principal and is a big proponent of our students and families.
The Buddy program sets St. Rose School apart. We pair upper grade students with younger students for a variety of activities including service outreaches, school events, and Friday Masses. The beauty of the Buddy program is that younger students look up to older students and older students take on the responsibility of being role models. Buddies wave to each other in the halls, support each other on special occasions like First Communion and Confirmation and are invested in each other’s well being. The Buddy program underscores the powerful dynamic of being part of a Preschool - 8th grade school environment.
We kick off the new school year with families getting together to build a float that is part of Newtown’s famous Labor Day parade. Our Principal and Pastor along with parents and students ride the float wearing the school colors, red and white, and showing great spirit.
A friendly game of flag football between the two 8th grade classes. The 7th grade class comes up with cheers, and the rest of the school lines the sidelines wearing their chosen team's colors. It’s an exciting afternoon for faculty, students and visiting friends.
After the school-wide Christmas Mass celebration, all grades participate in singing "The 12 Days of Christmas". Each class is assigned a day, which they excitedly shout as the rounds go on.
Following the festive song, everyone heads back to the school for a lively game of BINGO, buddy style.
During this time we express all of the benefits of being part of a Catholic School. We have a spirited pep rally, a breakfast with town leaders and school wide Knowledge Bowl, a day of service including honoring our bus drivers and upper graders leading a story/craft time at the town library and a beautiful school mass. Our Home & School Association provides treats throughout the week for our teachers.

While we continue to make KINDNESS a priority in our day, our new theme and focus for the year is TRUSTWORTHINESS! Developing our students through involvement, leadership, and service is being fostered by new programs that we will be putting into place for the school year. Our Student Ambassadors, Student Council, and NJHS collaborate as our SRS Student Leadership Team. This leadership team drives our service and community spirit efforts, working with their peers, and giving voice to the student body as they become an integral part of the decisions about future programs and other initiatives in our school.
There is growing research demonstrating that students perform better academically, socially, and emotionally when they are meaningfully engaged, contributing members of a school. As adults, we often think we are the architects of a school’s culture, but we sometimes underestimate the influence and impact our students have on their school community; especially when they are trusted and involved in school climate improvement efforts. To support our students in becoming active members of our school, so that they may positively impact our school environment, we must look at the contributions of all students. So in addition to the opportunities that will be made available to our middle schoolers; our intermediate grades and yes, even our youngest community members, will be given the chance to take their place in leading our school efforts!
