St. Rose School students are thriving as classes continue on site, safely.

Innovative lessons such as the Pi-Line skyline to celebrate national Pi Day, the 5th grade competition to list as many digits in Pi, 2nd grade weather erosion experiments, 1st grade Polar Bear gummy experiment and 3rd grade’s “Step into History” reports. as well as the upper grades Virtual Mock Trial competition, are among the many exciting things happening these days. Service projects continue with great enthusiasm. Raising money for needy children in Haiti, Autism Awareness and Breast Cancer research are among the many causes St. Rose School supports.  Our students are building bonds with senior citizens in town and our Kindergarten class does a monthly outreach to the police department.  Teachers continue to inspire students to reach their God given potential through innovative lessons and projects.  Students continue to excel in all areas.  8th grader John Paul Dyer received the St. Thomas Aquinas Award for academic excellence and faith through service; 5th grader Luke Budzynski won the Regional Knights of Columbus Spelling Bee and is advancing to the State level.  The St. Rose School Chess Club is participating in State finals.  We are a blessed community.

Kindergarten Science Fair points to strong STEM foundations

May 20, 2025
A group of animated, focused Kindergarten students stood by their boards with pointers and explained the interesting, relevant experiments they had conducted to the many visitors (including students in all grades, teachers and parents) who stopped in throughout the day. It was evident by their subject matter and presentation that these young students have learned the foundations of STEM and are building a strong foundation of knowledge and skills for future discoveries.

Crowning of Mary

May 20, 2025
Crowning of Mary -- In this beautiful month of May, we give extra attention to our beautiful Blessed Mother. Grades 3-8 recently gathered in the church to recite the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary (led by upper grade students), to reflect on the faith, motherhood and graces of Mary, and to place a crown of flowers upon her head (done by two Kindergarten and two 8th grade students). The reverence, respect and integrity displayed by all students is a hallmark of St. Rose School.

MILES & SMILES -- ST. ROSE SCHOOL WALK-A-THON A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!

May 16, 2025
We did it...and then some! St. Rose Schools students raised close to $47,000 for the recent Walk-a-thon! Their amazing spirit lifted our hearts and filled our halls during the weeks of March and April. Coupled with $13,500 from community sponsors, we reached $60,000 which is double our goal and a much needed injection to our Blooms Fund which helps to balance the budget, bridge the tuition gap and keep our school vital. 

Art & Music from the Heart Show

May 8, 2025
A variety of art pieces created by students in Preschool - 8th grade, including pottery made by Middle school students, were showcased throughout the school for visitors to enjoy. Proceeds from entry donations and student made bracelet sales will benefit a food program for a Mission school in the Philippines run by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Pottery sales will raise scholarships for local students (who would otherwise not have this opportunity) to attend Brett Nichols You Gotta Believe summer Basketball Camp. St. Rose School is blessed to have a talented, insightful Art teacher who opens the world of artists, art genres and inner creativity to all students. The Band program invites students into the beautiful world of music as they learn to play various instruments. The beautiful sounds of instruments, from violins to drums to flutes and trombones, floated through the air as students performed an array of pieces they have learned and mastered through the Band program. St. Rose School has a strong commitment to the Arts.

As the field is prepared and the laps are anticipated, students will be seeking donations in support of their efforts. Sponsorships (e.g., Finish line, Start line, Water table, Super Fan) are also being sought to help us reach our $30,000 goal. Monies raised go to the Blooms Fund to help defray the many costs (salaries, operations, curriculum, enrichment programs, security updates) that are not covered by tuition alone. Every gift makes a big difference in the lives of students in Preschool - 8th grade. Thank you for helping them BLOOM!
