🌟 🦁Celebrating Our 5th Grade D.A.R.E. Graduates! 🦁🌟
Today we celebrated our 5th grade students after 11 weeks in the D.A.R.E. program with Officer Alyssa. Students learned valuable skills in making safe choices, resisting peer pressure, and building confidence.
We heard thoughtful essays from Ella Valley and Lincoln Roney, and recognized Kaydahlynn Simmons with the Daren Award for her positivity, participation, and decision-making.
A special thank you to guest speaker Austin Troendle for sharing an inspiring message about faith, perseverance, and controlling what you can, your attitude, mindset, and effort. Remembering to always have faith.
Congratulations to our 5th graders for representing SPCS so well! 🐾

With joyful hearts, we celebrate the beautiful faith journeys of our students and teacher who received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation this Easter weekend at Holy Saturday Mass at St. Patrick Parish.
Through these sacred Sacraments, they have been fully welcomed into the Catholic Church, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, and nourished by the Body of Christ.
We are so proud of each of you for saying “yes” to your faith and continuing your journey with Christ. May God’s grace guide you always as you grow in love, service, and discipleship. Alleluia! ✝️💛

Fruit of the Spirit Spotted at SPCS! ❤️
Our March Fruit of the Spirit recipients are here!
Goodness is shown through kind hearts, helping hands, and choosing to do what is right, even when no one is watching. Our students have truly lived this out by showing compassion, including others, and spreading positivity throughout our school.
We are so proud of the way these students reflect God’s love in their daily actions. They remind us all that even the smallest acts of goodness can make a big difference!
Congratulations to our amazing students, keep shining your light! ✨

Way to shine for Jesus, Caleb & Gatton! We are proud of you! ✝️🌟

🌧️🐛 Spring fun was in full swing today! 🐛🌧️

Our Principals of the Day did an amazing job visiting each classroom to read “Worm Weather”! Students loved diving into conversations about springtime, rainy days, splashing in puddles, and of course… wiggly worms!

To top it all off, everyone enjoyed a tasty treat of “worms” after the story! 🐛

Today was such a fun and memorable day at our school as we had 2 student principals, Eli and Ella Valley! 👩‍💼👨‍💼 From helping make important decisions to visiting classrooms and supporting teachers, they truly got a glimpse of what it takes to lead a school! We are so proud of the way they represented our school community—with kindness and teamwork. The future is bright with leaders like these! ✨ Thank you to our student principals for a job well done! 💚 #StudentLeaders #WinterGalaWinners
