COMMUNITY FIELDHOUSE SPIRIT NIGHT

Thank you to everyone who attended our Spirit Night at Community Fieldhouse last week; it was great to see so many families! St. Edward the Confessor Catholic School PTO received 10% of the total sales, meaning $268.80 was donated back to our school. We appreciate everyone who supported our Spirit Night and are grateful to Community Fieldhouse for hosting us!

Our Be Smart Summer Guide is here! Summer gives children room to rest, play, read, explore, and reconnect—but without a plan, screens can quietly take over. Our Summer Guide helps families create a simple Summer Tech Reset: build days around movement, sleep, reading, in-person connection, and contribution; keep technology use visible; and offer better alternatives, not just restrictions.

Children need a summer filled with sunshine, friendship, creativity, responsibility, and real memories. Download the guide today and start building a summer rooted in presence and connection.

With grateful hearts, we thank Father Christian as he celebrates the 22nd anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood on May 29, 2004. For more than two decades, he has faithfully answered God’s call with humility, compassion, and a true shepherd’s heart — celebrating the sacraments, preaching the Gospel, and walking alongside our parish community through moments of joy, sorrow, and grace. We are deeply grateful for his devoted “yes” to the Lord and for the many ways his priesthood continues to bless the lives of all who know him. Please join us in praying for Father Christian and offering congratulations on this beautiful milestone.

CLASSROOM SPOTLIGHT: 5TH GRADE HISTORY

Our 5th graders got an early start on their 6th grade World History curriculum last week by working on "ripped" maps of the Earth. This hands-on experience not only works the students' fine motor skills, but gets them thinking about the positions and relationships of countries throughout the world. We can't wait to see them apply this learning next year!
