Basketball Tournament Volunteers Needed

It’s time to kick off the 2024-2025 Basketball Season with the SRLA Thanksgiving Tournament!

Let’s showcase our school spirit to all the participating schools while raising funds to support our HSA and athletic programs.

We kindly ask the families to volunteer to help make this event a success. If you’re unable to volunteer your time, please consider donating items to the snack bar—or both!

You can sign up, and donations can be sent to school from Monday, 11/25, through Wednesday, 11/27 (unless otherwise noted in the Sign-up Genius).

Please leave donated items with Danny at the front desk.

Important: All items must be NUT FREE/PEANUT FREE.

Thank you for your support in making this tournament a success. GO RAVENS!

Christmas Gift Giving Program

Thank you to all who signed up to purchase gifts for the families. We still need $375 to provide gift cards to seniors in need.

One of the most special traditions at St. Rose of Lima Academy is here again...our Christmas Gift Giving Program! Through this program we make sure that there is at least one present under the tree for the children of St. Rose of Lima Church in Newark and the seniors and families of St. Joseph’s Social Service Center in Elizabeth. Please consider helping these children, families and seniors during the Christmas holidays.

Donate money here!

This is such a lovely way to give back during the holiday season and a great way to get your children involved in giving as well.
