Two Minute Video on How to Enroll

Holy Rosary School

Dear Holy Rosary School Families,

Thank you to everyone who attended the Open House on Sunday. It was wonderful to see so many of our families at Mass and walking through the school. We are grateful to all of the grandparents and special visitors that attended Grandparents Day. Pre-K and Kindergarten shared a special tea with their grandparents. Grandparents of 1st through 8th grade students were entertained by our very own MUSE band and were serenaded by the 1st graders. The grandparents were then joined by the students in the church where the 3rd grade lead a prayer service reminding everyone to let their light shine. The grandparents then spent time with the students in the classroom and shopping the book fair.

We were very blessed to have so many grandparents and special people visiting Holy Rosary and sharing in the love of our Catholic School.

God Bless,

Tim Hooke

Please note this change!

Teachers will be attending a Diocesan In-Service.

We Continue to Improve Our School Site

Thank you to Pat Lee and the parent vision crew that replaced the missing bricks on the planter boxes in the front of the school. Also a big thank you to Morgans Nursery for their donation of mortar for the job.

You may have noticed the missing sidewalk by the ivy across from the Parish Center. Last weekend about 100 feet of sewer line from 15th street to the grass area was replaced. This will help alleviate issues we have because of the old clay pipes. The sidewalk will be replaced soon.

Catholic Identity Survey

Please take a moment to fill out a school survey on the National Standards - Catholic Identity Program. The survey should take 5-10 minutes. Print the final page a return with your name to the office for a special prize.
