IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!

The 2026 Annual SRLA Walk-A-Thon is Friday, Nov. 13th  

9:00-10:00 chalk the walk 

10:00-11:15 walk-athon 

SRLA Parking Lot

 

The walk-a-thon is one of our school’s biggest fundraisers! Don’t miss out on an opportunity to support our amazing school! Every gift, of any size, goes directly toward giving our students a better place to learn and grow.

 

 

We’re switching some things up this year!

This year we are inviting parents to come to the event a little early and chalk the walk! Start off with some coffee and refreshments before tapping into your inner artist. The black top is your canvas! Write encouraging messages, draw obstacles, the sky is the limit!

 

Even if you're no picasso, we are strongly encouraging parents to at least hang out and cheer on the kids as they walk. The kids are always so excited to see a crowd! Parents are also allowed to walk WITH their children if they’d like. DJ Pat will be there to get everyone moving & grooving! 

 

This year rather than having the individual classes compete, it will be a “battle of the floors”! The floor that raises the most money will get a pizza & ice cream party!

Floors are:

Pre-k 3 &4

K - 4th

5th - 8th

Family Fest Fun!

Sun. Oct 18th, families joined us in the gym for our 2nd annual FAMILY FEST! Carnival games with awesome prizes (the squishies were VERY popular), delicious food, face painting and of course, our amazing pumpkin carving contest! BIG raven “thank you” to those who came out to support the school and to our absolutely wonderful volunteers! 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POGO!

On October 20, we celebrated a very special member of our classroom community—Pogo turned 2! Students helped make the day extra special with handmade birthday cards and lots of birthday wishes. Pogo continues to bring plenty of excitement and smiles to our science classroom!

Pogo is one lucky lizard!

 

 

5th Grade Scientists at Work!

This week, our 5th grade scientists put their measurement skills into practice as they learned how to properly read and use common scientific tools. Students worked hands-on with scales, rulers, graduated cylinders, and thermometers, practicing how to take accurate measurements and record their results with the correct units. It was a great opportunity to build confidence using the tools scientists rely on during investigations!

 

It's Taco Tuesday at Chipotle! Skip making dinner on Tuesday, November 17 from 4-8 pm at the Morris Ave Chipotle. Join in this community fundraiser to support our 8th graders!

 

We will receive 25% of all orders when you mention SRLA so mark your calendars and come be a part of a fun and delicious event! 

Want to order ahead and pick up? Just use code DBM7QGK. See you then! 

 

 

Have family or friends who are interested in joining our St. Rose family? Encourage them to join us on Nov. 6th for an OPEN HOUSE!

 

 

BOOK THE SPIRIT ROCK TODAY! 

This is your friendly reminder to reserve the SRLA spirit rock!

SRLA families are invited to reserve the spirit rock and paint it with a special message of their own. Celebrate a birthday, thank someone special, wish a team or student good luck, show your school spirit, or get creative with a message that's meaningful to you. 

It’s a fun and unique way to celebrate the people who make our SRLA community so special. 

Pick a date, grab your paint and make the spirit rock your own!
