Help Celebrate Our Eighth Graders

SRLA has a wonderful tradition of celebrating our graduating students throughout their final year at the Academy!

The Pinning Ceremony marks the half-way point. The pin is given to our students as a remembrance of their time at SRLA. The pins will be blessed during a special ceremony at 10:30 am on Wednesday, February 2 in Church, followed by a brunch for the 8th grade students only. 

We ask that you support our 8th grade by contributing to their celebratory brunch! Items can be dropped off with Danny on the morning of February 2nd. Please note all items must be nut free.

We are also looking for a few volunteers to set up the brunch and assist in serving the students. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Catholic Schools Week

Kicks off on Jan. 31st

The theme for this year’s Catholic Schools Week is Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.

For those of you new to our school, Catholic Schools Week celebrates the contribution that Catholic education provides to children and youth, to our Church, to our communities, and to our nation.

Catholic Schools Week (CSW) celebrates the gifts and talents of school administrators, principals, teachers, parish staff members, students, parents, volunteers, and all who share in the ministry of Catholic education. Catholic Schools Week is a time to thank everyone for all that they do and to pray that God will richly bless us as we continue to teach and inspire future leaders and servants of God’s kingdom. 

These are just a few of the things planned for 1/31-2/4/22:

We will not participate in a community opening of Catholic Schools Week mass this year. By the grace of God, we will be back next year!

Monday: Celebrate our Community:

A central aspect of Catholic education is learning the importance of service to others. When students take part in service activities they demonstrate the values and faith gained through Catholic education.

Our students are asked to bring a new, clean, never worn pair of socks to be donated to those less fortunate.

Dress: Students are invited to wear their Favorite pajamas!!!

St. Jude Math-A-Thon for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Begins!!!!

Tuesday:

Celebrating our own SRLA Students! 

We are all created in God’s image and God calls each of us. We are asked to live as Jesus does.

Dress: Any “groovy or tie-dyed” attire you can pull together!

Wednesday: Celebrating our Nation

Please bring one toy or treat for a pet!

Dress: Students are asked wear red, white and blue (yes, jeans are blue).

Thursday: Celebrating Vocations

By focusing on faith, knowledge and service, Catholic schools prepare children to use their God-given talents to the fullest later in life.

Please bring a $1.00 donation for the Monastery for the Dominican Sisters in Summit.

Dress: Wear your favorite sports team’s gear! If you do not wear a sports team item, you may wear your favorite piece of SRLA Spirit gear.
