FRIDAY FESTIVITIES!

What a busy day at St.Rose!

Pink-out for Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast cancer is a disease that touches countless families, including some of our very own SRLA families. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we asked children to dress in pink for a $3 donation. Boy did they deliver! It was amazing to see so many kids supporting the cause! All proceeds will go to breast cancer research. Thank you for your support!

Saint Rose Farmers Market

Fall is here! With brisk mornings and sun-kissed afternoons, that can only mean one thing, the Annual SRLA Farmer’s Market! Kids were able to enjoy delicious apple cider, while picking out their own fruits and veggies, provided by Alstede Farms. Thank you Amy Cramer and her wonderful group of volunteers, for hosting another amazing farmers market! The kids had so much fun!

THE PLAYGROUND IS OPEN! 

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve officially opened our new playground! This project has been in the works for several years and we know our SRLA families are just as excited as our students to see it up and running!

GAME ON! The Basketball court lines will be painted next week! We’ll be working with Father Larry to plan a special blessing of the playground, so look out for more information on that! Special thanks to A&R Landscaping and Swingset Warehouse, for making such a beautiful space that the children can enjoy for years to come!

WALK-A-THON SUCCESS!

Thank You to everyone who made the 2025 Walkathon a success!

We raised over

$22,500! 

Congratulations to 5th Grade for raising the most funds! You are the winners of either a Pizza Party or Ice Cream Party!

and children come around to each car to Trunk-or-Treat!!!

Halloween-themed decorations. Children can walk from trunk to trunk 

to look at the decorations and receive candy and treats such as Halloween 

Stickers, Pencils, Erasers, Apple Slices, Small Oranges, Popcorn and the like!!!

REMEMBER! NO PEANUTS ALLOWED!
