St. Thomas Academy

May is a month of Sacraments! Congratulations to our middle schoolers who received their Confirmation 🕊️ and to our younger students who receive their First Holy Communion! 🫓🍷

Thank you to all of our catechists, sponsors, and volunteers in religious education!

Our second annual Jogathon was a huge success! 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ Students ran, jogged, and walked around our track for two hours, repping their class colors and cheering each other on. Thank you to all of our sponsors who made this day a memorable one!! With your support, our school can continue its faith filled educational mission as the only Catholic school in Redmond.

And thank you to for providing us with boba and snacks to rejuvenate after the run!

Fourth grade enjoyed a spring day at the Crescent Moon Alpaca Ranch! 🦙 Thank you !

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌺 Students enjoyed lunch with their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and other important women in their lives. We love you, STA moms!!

Hail, Holy Queen enthroned above 🎶 We crowned our mother Mary during Mass this week. Students brought flowers to give to Mary and sang songs in her honor. May is a month dedicated to Our Mother - please comment any special intentions you’d like to ask her! 💐

Third grade shows off their triorama projects for other classes! ⭐️ They studied a region of the United States and how the Native Americans lived there. Then they created a model and wrote an explanation of the lifestyles they learned about. The other classes enjoyed learning from third grade! 📖

Fourth grade is buzzing with knowledge! 🐝 A student’s grandma, Marti, volunteered her time to share her beekeeping knowledge for this science class. Students participated in hands-on activities and learned a lot about these important pollinators! Thank you, Marti! 🍯

Mark your calendars for our second annual Jogathon!! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ On Friday, May 15, students will raise donations for our school by running or walking laps, cheering with their class, and having a blast! Check your emails for your student’s individual donation link, and share it with friends and family!

Our annual Crab Fest fundraiser dinner was a giant success! 🦀 A special thank you to everyone who attended, bid, donated, and volunteered to make it a night to remember! And a big thank you to Chef Jeff from Amaterra restaurant in Bend for donating his time and expertise.

Our fundraisers allow STA to give Catholic education to our community, focused on the whole mind, soul, and person of each child. Without your support, it could not be possible! ❤️

We hope to see you all next year!

Earth Day is right around the corner! 🌎 We’ll be celebrating all week with a can drive. The class that collects the most cans will win free dress on May 1st—no payment needed! Let’s come together and make this Earth Week fun and meaningful!
