St. Rose Students Serve Those Who Served

Students come together in faith and gratitude to honor those who served.

At St. Rose School, faith and service go hand in hand—and our recent Day of Service for Veterans was a beautiful example of our students living out those values.


In honor of Veterans Day, students from every grade came together in the Gathering Hall to assemble care packages for veterans at the VA Hospital in West Haven. The packages were filled with toiletry items, hats, gloves, socks, and handwritten cards of gratitude created by our students. Each note carried a personal message of appreciation and hope, reminding our veterans that their service and sacrifices will never be forgotten.


The day was filled with purpose and compassion as students worked side by side—sorting donations, packing bags, and writing prayers. It was inspiring to see younger students looking up to the older grades, learning what it means to serve others with love and respect.


Special thanks to our faculty, parent volunteers, and the St. Rose community for donating the items that made this project possible. The Veterans Day care packages are now on their way to bring comfort and smiles to those who have given so much to our country.



At St. Rose School, service is more than a one-time event—it’s part of who we are. Through acts of kindness like this, our students truly bloom in mind, heart, and soul.

Kindergarten Science Fair points to strong STEM foundations

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.

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!
