Book Fair Is Here!
The Scholastic Book Fair begins in the gym this Sunday at 12:30 pm! All purchases benefit SRLA, so please stop by and support us!
 
Set up your eWallet, a safe cash-free way for your child to shop. And don't forget to contribute to your teacher's eWallet this year, and they can shop for books for your child's classroom.
 
Parents and caregivers, your help is always appreciated to make things run smoothly, so please volunteer to lend a hand.
 
See you at the fair!

Help Celebrate SRLA's Class of 2023
As part of Catholic Schools Week, our 8th Graders will take part in the Pinning Ceremony on Wednesday, February 1 to mark the half-way point of their final year at SRLA. A pin is given to each student as a remembrance of their time at this special place.
 
We invite you to contribute items for a celebratory brunch for the 8th Graders and their families in Ryan Hall following the ceremony. Donations can be dropped with Danny through Wednesday morning.
 
Thank you!
 
Math Wizardry
 
Some of SRLA's 7th and 8th Graders took part in the St. Joseph High School Annual Math Competition on January 21, with boys competing at St. Joseph and girls at Mount St. Mary Academy. Mrs. Schugel and her students worked hard to prepare, and did a great job representing SRLA!
