2025 Off to a Strong Start

The first full week of school for the year is in the books, and our students are hitting their stride! We're all "gearing up" for an exciting year ahead and starting 2025 off strong with enthusiasm and determination.

Designer Bag Bingo

We’re seeking donations of designer bags and accessories for prizes—and regifting is not only welcome, it’s encouraged (your secret’s safe with us!).

We gladly accept quality handbags, backpacks, clutches, wallets, jewelry, sunglasses, scarves, and more.

 

If you or someone you know works in the fashion or retail industry and would be willing help procure items for prizes, please reach out!

To donate or volunteer, contact Carla at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Thank you for helping make this event a success!

Tell A Friend about St. Rose of Lima Academy!

We’re excited to kick off Catholic Schools Week with our biggest Open House of the year on Sunday, January 26th, at 12:30 PM! This is a wonderful opportunity for prospective families to experience the spirit, values, and academic excellence that make St. Rose of Lima Academy so special.

 

As parents, you are our greatest ambassadors. Your personal stories and recommendations inspire others to join our vibrant school community. Growing our enrollment strengthens every aspect of the school, from academics and extracurriculars to our ability to provide even more opportunities for all students.

 

Please invite friends, family, and neighbors to attend the Open House and discover what makes St. Rose of Lima Academy a place where children thrive. Together, we can ensure a bright future for our school and students.

Thank you for helping us share the gift of St. Rose!

Student Council Bake Sale Next Week

Students are invited to bring cash on Wednesday and Thursday to enjoy tasty treats at the Student Council Bake Sale.

 

Proceeds will support Operation Chillout, providing homeless veterans with backpacks that convert into sleeping bags, filled with warm winter essentials.

Every treat purchased helps make a difference for this worthy cause!

Free Throw Contest Tonight

Inside the Classroom...

Students at SRLA are learning and playing volleyball with Ms. Machen this month!

From PK3-8th, all are learning in their own way. The younger students start out using balloons and yarn balls to hone the early stages of their skills. Primary grades are learning HOW to put the game together so that when they are in middle school, they come in and PLAY!
