Hey Saints! The Annual Saints Marathon will be starting up Saturday, February 1st. There will be posters in the BWC where you can track how many miles you run, walk, or go on the elliptical. If you make it to a full marathon by March 7th, then you will be entered into a drawing to win some really cool prizes!! The prizes are a yoga starter kit, a heart rate monitor (it will be silver not pink, like it is shown in the picture), a twister stepper, and a resistance band 12 piece kit. Pictures of the prizes are posted below! SPREAD THE WORD :)

The annual Lighting a Tradition ceremony was held on Dec. 3, 2013 to kick off the Christmas season at St. Scholastica.

The only thing that could make it feel like the holiday season more than all the snow that's falling, is the lighting of the Christmas lights on campus. "Lighting a Tradition" will be tomorrow immediately following the Advent Vespers service; approximately 5:15 p.m. on the steps of Tower Hall. Don't miss it!
