As we draw closer to the resurrection of our Lord, our eighth grade class reenacted the stations of the cross in a beautiful and moving performance on Holy Thursday. A special thank you to all that helped make this possible, especially Mrs. Maciulski.

Recalling the passion of Christ is part of the journey through Holy Week. This week, our 8th- grade students portrayed Christ’s journey to Calvary in their Living Stations on Holy Thursday.
Our Mini Vinnies accompanied the St. Vincent DePaul Society, Bishop Malone, and others by participating in the Way of the Cross in downtown Shreveport.

We're so excited to share about our K5 aide, Mrs. Blaire Colligan! She has been a part of our SJS family for six years as a parent, and for the past three years she's been a teachers aide. She loves how supportive and strong our school community is, from the administration to the teachers, to the families we serve! Her biggest wish for her students is that they thrive and feel safe, loved, and happy here. We are so grateful for you, Mrs. Colligan!
