Both levels include playtime and lots of movement in between our lessons, encouraging socialization, working together, sharing, and waiting our turn. Each class also gets instruction in STEM, Technology, Gym, Music, and Spanish once per week.
Half days (mornings) or full days available, 3 or 5 days a week, with before and after school care beginning at 6:30 AM and ending at 6 PM. Come visit us to see how we can help your child excel!

Virtue Awards this Week: Miss M awards Cameron for PRUDENCE, for always keeping the classroom clean. 🗑️And Mrs. Hall also honored Peyton for PRUDENCE--Peyton had been chosen to help her class lead the Living Rosary last week, but gave up her spot because she had to finish a test.✝️ Mrs. Tell awarded Camila with the virtue of FORTITUDE, for being new to school and working hard to adjust to a new atmosphere and learning system! 💯
Saints Circles: This Sunday's Gospel, from Mark 12:28-34. "Love your neighbor as yourself." It can be easy to love people who you know and who are your friends and family. But how can you love someone you don't know very well?
- Being a positive influence on others
- Sitting with someone who is sitting by themselves
- Forgiving others
- Finding something in common
- Including them in conversations
- Caring about them
- Looking past personal grudges and starting over
- Just saying hello!
- Giving a compliment
- Helping with homework or studying with them
And then it's off to Book Fair Week! Let's Go Saints!

Saints Circles: Mrs. O'Callaghan offers us a reflection on this Sunday's Gospel. Jesus restored the sight of Bartimaeus, and Bartimaeus was so grateful for this gift, he gave up everything he had and became a disciple of Jesus, sharing the Good News as they traveled to community after community.
What GIFT has Jesus given you that you can use to share the Good News of God? No sharing this time; just a private reflection for yourself. 😇
And then we're dancing off to another week at St. Pete! Let's have a great week Saints!
