Here’s a look at what’s happening at St. Edward’s this week!

We’re looking forward to a full week and are especially excited to welcome our special guests into the building and celebrate the people who mean so much to our students on Friday.

When teachers care deeply about academic excellence and helping every student grow, professional development is anything but quiet! 📚✹

This week's work focused on strengthening our literacy practices, and the room was FULL of lively conversation, thoughtful questions, and idea-sharing across grade levels. We’re grateful for a staff that is always willing to learn from one another and keep growing for our students.

Thank you, families, for giving us this valuable time to learn, collaborate, and get better together. Your flexibility makes this important work possible!

At St. Edward’s, we want our students to grow not only academically, but also in the habits and virtues that help them show their goodness every day. This year, we will focus on one virtue each month as a school.

Throughout September, our school community will focus on the virtue of Courtesy: “Treating other people with respect, recognizing that all are made in God’s image and likeness.” ALL are made in God's image and likeness- now, that's an important lesson!

Students will hear this language in their classrooms, during morning announcements, through conversations with teachers, and in the everyday moments when they have opportunities to put courtesy into practice.

We aren’t simply teaching our students about their faith. We’re helping them learn how to live it. 💙💛

The Junior High Imagination Station opened today!
We can't wait to see what these kiddos create this year. Imagination, creativity, and play have no age limit. đŸ˜ŠđŸ©”

The preschoolers got a special visit from Father Martin today. He read them Bible stories and even got on their level.

đŸ”„ Practicing Safety at St. Edward’s

Our students and staff practiced one of our important school safety routines with a fire drill.

Our Jaguars did a wonderful job listening, following directions, and taking the drill seriously. We ended the drill with a prayer of thanksgiving for our safety today and for the wisdom to practice appropriate safety measures. 💙

It’s all part of our commitment to Safety.

There’s a lot of important learning happening here every day, but there’s also time to just be a kid.

Time to play. To laugh. To build friendships. To be creative. To move. To enjoy the people around you. We build outside recess time into the kids' day all the way up through eighth grade. Our teachers love being outside too, soaking in the fresh air together with their students.

Childhood Honored is one of our Core Values because childhood isn’t something to rush through. We’re grateful our students get to learn, grow, and have a whole lot of fun along the way!
