Dear St. Rose Parents,

A huge thank you to the Art Docent Program! It has been terrific to see and hear the enthusiasm of our students as they create beautiful art with the help of the parent volunteers. First Grade made pinch pots out of Model Magic compound. Fifth Grade used watercolors to paint beautiful line landscapes; Sixth Grade specialized in spooky haunted house paintings. K-6^th grade will continue to enjoy the Art Docent Program all year. We are truly blessed with the artistic guidance of these parents.

The second graders were having a lovely time painting their pumpkins with the help of an outstanding parent volunteer. We are also lucky to have Friday Fun helpers in Kinder and First Grade who teach creative projects to our children. Thank you to all our positive and supportive parent volunteers!

Last Saturday evening, 12 Student Council members volunteered their time to serve 267 people at the Polenta Dinner at St. Rose Church. They were professional and kind in their demeanor as they served the meal. I am very proud of them and grateful to Mrs. Bertero, Miss Cicely, and Miss Celeste, who supported and guided them through this process. That evening they showed the true spirit of Serviam.

The Mass on Friday was filled with joy and love, as portrayed in the lovely singing of all the students, especially the second and third graders. I am grateful to our music teacher Aggie Bailey for guiding us through the songs.

Monday’s Halloween celebration was phenomenal. The parents did a fantastic job setting up a fun and exciting experience for all students. There were lots of smiles and CANDY around. I am so grateful to all of you who made this a spectacular day for the children. It felt so normal.

We have a few things to look forward to in the coming weeks. We will have a food drive for the foodbank; Spirit Week is coming, and we will end our week before Thanksgiving vacation with a Mass where we will bless the food before giving it away. The last week of school before Christmas Vacation will have daily surprises for all of us.

Blessings,

Kathleen

COLD & FLU SEASON

Today, 50 students are out and last Friday, we had 54 students out due to illness. Colds & Flu are here and we don't anticipate this changing for the next few months of Fall /Winter. Please do not send your child to school with illness.  

It is important that if your child has any cold or flu symptoms, please keep them home. If symptoms become severe, please consult your physician, as there is a trifecta of viruses going around; Flu, COVID, RSV and other respiratory illnesses.

Though the flu season is here, testing to rule out COVID should be done before your child returns to school.  It is best to test 3-5 days into illness. 

Any child with cold or flu symptoms should test negative for COVID before returning to school.

COVID test kits WERE sent home last week to students and staff. Please feel free to request additional test kits if needed. We are happy to send some home to your family.

We appreciate everyone's diligence in keeping students and staff healthy and safe.
