It might be early, but students in Mr. Jeff Draeger's 7th and 8th grade classes are already studying and debating some great U.S. history topics.

Today, in groups, the students tackled key ideas and topics from their early class discussions and presented their thoughts to their classmates.

✝️ Growing Together in Faith

On Friday, we celebrated our first All-School Mass of the year! What a beautiful way to come together as a school family and begin our year centered on Christ.

As a Catholic school, we are blessed to learn, pray, and grow together in faith. Through the Eucharist, we are reminded that we are one community, called to support one another and let our faith shine each day.

What a wonderful way to start the year together! ❤️

🔬💧 First Week of School & We’re Already Jumping Into Hands-On Learning!

Our fifth and sixth graders kicked off the year by exploring the scientific method with a fun question: How much water works best for flipping a water bottle?

Students made predictions, experimented, collected data, and analyzed their results—all while having a little fun along the way! 🧪📊

What a great way to start the school year: learning by doing!

Welcome back Irish! 🍎📚💚

We are so excited to begin a new school year filled with learning, friendship, faith, and countless opportunities to grow. May this year bring joy to our classrooms, courage to our hearts, and a spirit of kindness to our entire school family.

🙏 A Back-to-School Prayer:
Dear Lord, bless our students, teachers, staff, and families as we begin this new school year. Guide our minds as we learn, our hearts as we grow, and our hands as we serve others. Help us to follow the example of Jesus by showing kindness, patience, and love each day. May our school be a place where faith shines brightly and every child knows they are loved. Amen.

Here’s to a wonderful year at St. Patrick School! ☘️ May God bless our school community and all that lies ahead! ✨
