3/18 Raven Rundown

???? Celebrating St. Patrick's Day ☘️

SRLA got into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, and found great ways to celebrate!

PreK-3, below, learned all about St. Patrick and the Holy Trinity this week. Read more about their pursuit of a tricky leprechaun!

The 1st Grade was all smiles showing off their rainbows and pots of gold!

The 4th Grade tackled a St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt! All clues were math problem solving based on St. Patrick’s Day. They had a really fun time learning math, religion, and history.

Student Council Contest Winners

Congratulations to Aveline Marin for winning the Student Council Valentine's basket, and to Ryan Fay for winning the Leprechaun Gold guessing jar with exactly the right guess!

The Student Council would like to thank everyone for their participation!

Lucky winner Aveline with Student Council President Conor Naughton
