A message from Coach Doug:

 

The kids killed it! St. Rose’s Track and Field team did very well at its first meet of the season on Sunday, April 19th in Jersey City. With 536 entrants from 16 schools, the field was huge. 

 

Derek Moonsammy won the boys 400m (5-6 grade), PJ Mansfield won the boys Javelin throw (5-6 grade), and the team of Derek Moonsammy, PJ Mansfield, Joey Giannetti, and Doryan Hindrick won the boys 4x100 relay (5-6 grade). 

 

There were numerous other top 10 finishers as well.

Congratulations to everyone who participated!

We are so proud of you!

All proceeds will go to the 8th grade. 

Prices will be from $2.00 - $3.00

Please save the date for a very special SRLA event! Our students have been working hard on some VERY creative projects!

We will be showcasing our annual Science fair, and introducing a new art show and film viewing! All made by our very own SRLA students throughout the year.

They put their hearts into these projects, so we hope you’ll come check it all out and show your support!

The 3rd & 4th Grade Field Trip Went SWIMMINGLY!

It was a day at the beach for our lucky 3rd and 4th graders! It may have been chilly but a visit to Jenkensen’s Aquarium, some galavanting on the boardwalk and even digging their tiny toes in the sand got these kids ready for summer!

 Registration form can also be found

on our website        

   

Please indicate the weeks you plan to have your child attend this summer!
