Our Mission calls us to live and share the teachings of the Catholic Church by creating a compassionate atmosphere which develops faith, service, and academic excellence.
Everything is possible for one who believes. Mark 9:23
Consider volunteering! We appreciate all you do to serve our community!
Check out Facebook to see the news & events from last week!
We are excited to be presenting our "A Christmas Wonderland" concert on Wednesday, December 18th at 6:30pm in church. Doors open at 6:00 pm. • Students should wear their Sunday best or "fancy clothes" that make them feel special for this
special evening performance. Please no jeans, sports apparel, clothes with writing, sweatshirts, sweatpants, or tennis shoes. Tall headbands and bows are discouraged so all audience members can see their performers.
• NEW THIS YEAR! Students should be in their classrooms between 6 and 6:15pm the evening of the concert. Behavior prior to the concert shapes the
attitude and level of student performance, so please remind your children to be calm, prayerful, and respectful as they wait for their teacher's instructions to head to church. Children should give their outerwear to their parent or guardian before heading to their classroom; students will not be able to return to their classrooms after the concert. Students will be dismissed from the stage after the concert by grade level, so please keep the area around and in front of the stage clear.
If there is a family or two willing to video tape the performance for Mrs. Wilda and students to use for self-reflection, please email Mrs. Wilda at [email protected]. A video from the balcony and a video from ground level would be wonderful!! If you have additional questions or would like to check out Mrs. Wilda's music website for updates. Happy Advent to all!
THIS FRIDAY! Show your holiday spirit AND help our 8th Grade Class fund their FANTASTIC Legacy Project! On Friday, December 20th our 8th grade
students will be hosting an all-school $1 Out of Uniform Day to help fund the Legacy gift they will be donating to Holy Apostles. Our students have unanimously voted to replace the Spinami in the school’s playground with a Gaga Ball Pit! The theme of this month’s Out of Uniform Day is Ugly Christmas Sweater. Prizes will be awarded for Best (Worst) Ugly Christmas Sweater in Primary & Best in Middle School and a special prize will go to the class that brings in the most money. 100% of donated funds will go directly toward our Legacy Gift! Thank you so much for all your support!
