Last weekend Mrs. McClurg's 2nd-grade class received their First Communion. It was a beautiful day filled with excitement and anticipation. It was wonderful to see how eager they were to receive Jesus for the first time.
A big thank you to Mrs. Newton and Mrs. DeArmond who worked very hard to help prepare the students for their big day. These celebrations are always a reminder to me of how wonderful a parish we have. We are blessed with the best, and I continue to be grateful to play a role in the lives of these very special young people.
This weekend Mr. Sarfaty's class will get to have their special day!

Dress Code Addition for 2021-2022 School Year |
|
For the 2021-2022 school year, we will be adding a navy blue pants/shorts/skorts option, and a grey shirt option. Students may also continue to wear khaki bottoms with navy blue shirts.
We do ask that if they choose to wear navy blue pants, they wear a grey shirt instead of a navy shirt. When they wear khaki pants, a grey or navy shirt is acceptable.
We will have uniform shirts with the St. Roch logo available for sale. Shirts DO NOT have to be purchased from the school. It will just be an option if you would like. Stay tuned for more details. We will open the store this summer so that you can have items for the start of the school year.
