NEWTOWN—The faculty and students at St. Rose School have been busy learning wonderful lessons and partaking in acts of service.
The school’s “buddy teams” joined together for a Turkey Trot race and collected more than 3,500 canned goods for Faith Food Pantry in November.
The school also participated in the Knights of Columbus Coat Drive, collecting 517 coats that will bring warmth to children and adults in the community this winter.
Monsignor Bob held storytime for the preschool and kindergarten classes during the Scholastic Book Fair and the whole school celebrated the 50th day ’50’s style!
On the Feast of St. Nicholas, kindergarten and first-grade students learned about the loving saint and discovered some treats in the shoes they placed outside their classrooms.
It’s a joy to be on this learning adventure together.
