From the Desk of the Principal ~ March 3, 2026
Welcome March!
As we enter the month of March, we look forward to a season filled with learning, celebration, and deep spiritual growth. The days are growing longer, signs of spring are beginning to appear, and our school community continues to flourish with enthusiasm and purpose.
March offers many meaningful opportunities for both academic enrichment and faith formation.
Lenten Reflection
During this sacred season of Lent, we are invited to slow down, reflect, and draw closer to Christ. Lent is a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving — simple but powerful ways we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.
In our classrooms and as families, we encourage our students to:
Spend a few extra moments in daily prayer
Offer small sacrifices with joyful hearts
Show kindness and generosity to those in need
Lent reminds us that growth often happens quietly, just like the coming of spring. Through small, faithful steps, God strengthens our hearts and deepens our love.
May this Lenten season be a time of renewal and grace for your family.
Women’s History Month
Throughout March, we celebrate Women’s History Month, honoring the countless women who have shaped our nation, our Church, and our world. Students will learn about inspiring women of faith, leadership, science, and service.
As a Catholic school, we are especially grateful for the example of holy women—saints, religious sisters, mothers, educators, and leaders—who model courage, compassion, and fidelity.
🥧 Pi Day – March 14
On March 14 (3.14), we celebrate Pi Day, a fun and engaging way to highlight our love of mathematics! Students will explore the importance of π (pi) through creative classroom activities that make learning both meaningful and enjoyable.
☘️ St. Patrick – March 17
We celebrate St. Patrick, who courageously shared the Gospel and helped others understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity. His missionary spirit reminds us to live and share our faith boldly.
St. Joseph – March 19
On March 19, we honor St. Joseph, the faithful husband of Mary and protector of Jesus. St. Joseph teaches us quiet strength, humility, and unwavering trust in God. We ask his special intercession for all fathers and families in our community.
May this month of March be filled with faith, growth, and joyful learning. Thank you for your continued partnership in forming hearts and minds rooted in Christ.
