Fall in Full Swing at SRLA

St Rose students have been busy with festive fall activities over the past week. Last Friday they enjoyed shopping for fall fruits and vegetables at the annual indoor Farmer's Market. Thank you to all of our volunteers! And this week our 8th Graders helped our younger students find pumpkins at Sr. Sandy's pumpkin patch! It's traditions like these that make our school community so special.

Two Weeks until Walk-a-thon!

The SRLA Walk-a-thon will take place in the church parking lot on Thursday, November 7th between 12-3pm. All students participate in this annual event that generates school spirit while raising funds at the same time!

 

Schedule:

PreK- 4th Grade will walk from 12:45-1:30pm

5th-8th Grade will walk from 1:45-2:30pm

Register Here

Send your reminders to family and friends to sponsor your child for their walk-a-thon. Each student has a minimum goal of raising $100. This fundraiser helps cover costs of School Assemblies, Facilities Improvements (new playground!), Community Outreach, Class Parties, Faculty Recognition, etc.

Top fundraisers will win PRIZES! As of today, 5th Grade is in the lead!

Trunk-or-Treat is Next Week!

A beloved tradition at St. Rose is right around the corner. Families come and decorate their cars and pass out goodies (nut free please!) to the students.

Trunk set up begins at 9:30am and Trunk-or-Treat runs from 10:30-11:45am.

Sign up to participate in this fun event! The more cars the better so sign up today if you haven't already so we have a spot for you!

In the Classroom...

 

 

Ms. Perkins and the Pre-K4 students have been very busy this week. They are exploring all things PUMPKINS and having so much fun (and learning a lot along the way). They made 3D pumpkins and tissue paper pumpkins to practice fine motor skills, had some sensory fun sorting through pumpkin pulp and seeds, and even worked on STEM skills with a sinking vs floating science experiment.
