Keeping Joy in Our Hearts This Easter Season!

Dear God,

Thank You for the resurrection of Your Son, Jesus. We want to celebrate Him every day of our lives. In a world that longs for goodness, help us hold up His light. Give us the courage to speak as boldly as Mary Magdalene did, and never be ashamed of proclaiming Your Good News. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Make EVERY DAY, Earth Day

Trees Taken Home to Plant to Join the Hundreds Planted Over the Years by St. Rose Students through the

Generosity and Goodness of the Tree Lady

The celebration of God's creation and the big beautiful world we live in took place in classrooms, hallways, inside and outside, and at mass. The children made posters and wrote about ways to make the world a better place through caring and kindness towards nature, resources, and each other. They made a promise to follow through on ways to clean up and help our world heal. Homemade bird feeders and trees were taken home to find a place in the yards of our school families as a reminder of the day.

"I'm planting a tree...to teach me to gather strength from my deepest roots." from The Wish Trees

A little tree brought home from school and lovingly planted by father and son to give back to the Earth as a thank you to God for all creation.

SRS Connections Continue to Grow

Some of our first graders, took a trip to the theater this past weekend. They went to see an amazing show, but also to support their classmate, Hadley, whose mom was one of the directors bringing the Spring Musical, Cyrano de Burger Shack, to life on stage at Canterbury. The connection didn't stop there; the girls were extra excited to see that two of our SRS alumni, Ava Faroul and Sylvia Pinheiro were in the play. Knowing that they both had attended St. Rose made the play an even "cooler" event for our first graders.

Our connections through theater didn't end there...

Some of the cast and director from Immaculate's recent musical, Seussical, visited St. Rose on Wednesday to meet and work with our cast of Godspell, Jr. We are blessed that our young actors are not only getting the opportunity to follow their passion for singing and acting, but also are seeing the support from older students who also love theater. We are also grateful to have Newtown Sophomore, Sarah Kirkman, an SRS alum, as daily assistant to Mr. Cappiello.

A Few More Noteworthy Bits 'n Pieces Before You Go

SRS Special Persons' Day

We are so excited to bring back Special Persons' Day! You have received invitations and details over the past several weeks regarding this wonderful SRS tradition; here are just a few reminders for the morning.

Students should wear their regular uniform (boys should be in long pants)

Due to the short day and activities planned, students will not need their backpacks for the day; so they can leave these at home.

Please make sure that the office and your child's teacher is aware of any changes in usual daily dismissal routines.

We ask that all visitors wear masks to our event.

Students who have special persons visiting will be dismissed to the Gathering Hall to spend the morning with them. Those students who do not have visitors will stay with another special person, their homeroom teacher. Teachers have planned several fun activities in the classroom for students staying with them. Students staying with teachers should bring a morning snack.

We await all our students and special persons with anticipation of a beautiful celebration of the Mass and a morning of being thankful for the love and support of our extended St. Rose School Community!

First Eucharist for Our Second Graders

This Weekend We Celebrate Our Second Graders and Those Students Receiving Their First Eucharist.

As you take your First Eucharist, may you feel Jesus' love for you as his precious child. He loves you and cares for you. Congratulations as you receive this holiest and most important Sacrament of your spiritual life! You are in our prayers.
