St Rose of Lima School students have been keeping busy, according to the school’s Director of Mission Advancement Laura Moulder.

After students returned to the school in January, the Art/Religion Class celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6 with the kindergarten students creating Advent Angel gifts to exchange; first grade students placed straws outside “for the camels” and discussed the significance of the gifts brought by the three Kings; and fifth grade students painted scenes.

Transitional kindergarten students at the school recently made gingerbread houses.

Sixth and eighth grade students took midterms the week of January 3 to 7.

And in other St Rose of Lima School news, it is running a $10,000 Tuition Raffle, the winnings of which can be applied toward tuition for any kindergarten to twelfth grade accredited school, college, or university in the United States or to help pay back student loans.
