We are so proud of our 8th Grade graduates as they wrapped up their final days at St. Rose of Lima Academy! Over the past few weeks, they’ve taken part in beloved SRLA traditions—receiving their caps and gowns, celebrating together at the special 8th Grade Mass and Brunch, dancing the night away at the Dinner & Dance, and being cheered on during the heartwarming Clap Out.

And the celebration isn’t over yet, Graduation takes place tonight, and we can’t wait to honor these incredible students one more time as they officially become SRLA alumni.

We wish each of them the very best as they head off to high school and continue to grow into the bright, kind, and capable young people we know they are. Congratulations, Class of 2025! The future is yours! 

This week, students hit the road for some exciting end-of-year adventures! Our 8th Grade class enjoyed their much-anticipated class trip to the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park at American Dream—filled with rides, laughter, and lasting memories.

Meanwhile, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grades took a fun trip to the Mayo Performing Arts Center to see Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, bringing a favorite story to life on stage with a new twist.

Another beloved SRLA tradition wrapped up the year with some fun—our students had the chance to take on some very important jobs around the school! Thanks to prizes won at the Wish Upon a Star Silent Auction, a few lucky students became Guest Gym Teachers, Pre-K Teachers, Computer Teachers, Principal for the Day, and more!

From leading classes to making announcements (like an extra Free Dress Day and Ice Cream treat!), they took their responsibilities seriously (and had a blast doing it). It’s always a joy to watch our students step into these special roles—it’s one of the many ways SRLA makes learning and leadership fun. What a great way to close out the school year!

The Nominating Committee warmly welcomes parents to take part in the leadership of our school community. If you’re interested in joining the board for the 2025-2026 school year—or if you’d like to nominate another parent who would be a great fit—please don’t hesitate to reach out.
