The #StElizabethReese school garden is overflowing! Green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkins, and cucumbers galore! The kids just can't get enough! They walk along the garden grabbing whatever catches their eye while they are on the playground. #soarlikeaneagle #iAmWonderfullyMade #garden #vegetables #OurCatholicSchools #CatholicSchoolDifference

#StElizabethReese is Centered in Christ and Committed to Excellence. That means we begin our school year with the Blessing of the Backpacks, school Mass and prayer. We thank God for the blessings he has given us, and we pray for his guidance and favor on our school family. Students attend Mass twice a week, go to Adoration once a week, pray the rosary weekly in October and May, pray the Stations of the Cross every week during Lent, pray the Angelus daily at noon and start each school day with prayers written by students. This is the #CatholicSchoolDifference. #soarlikeaneagle #iamwonderfullymade #BackToSchool2024 #OurCatholicSchools

Thank you to our #StElizabethReese Home & School Association for purchasing Great Adventure Bibles for the 6-8 grade class to use while they do the Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz through Ascension. The students will be able to keep the Bibles and use them the rest of their lives. Father Josepaul blessed the Bibles with the students and talked to them about the importance of using it each day, in Mass and in their daily lives.

It’s the first day of school here at #StElizabethReese! We have so many exciting things planned for this year. It’s going to be great! Students and families started the day with breakfast followed by a walk around the campus while praying the rosary. While the rosary was being said, Miraculous Medals were buried around campus to consecrate the school to the Blessed Virgin Mary. We asked for blessings upon our school, teachers, students and families for a great year and future of #StElizabethReese. At the end of the school day, students enjoyed a cake with the theme for the year on it, along with watermelon and time outside in nature. Some students picked produce out of the garden, others played on the playground and some opened the new Spikeball game to play (Thank you Home & School Association for this!). It was a wonderful first day! #soarlikeaneagle #iamwonderfullymade #CatholicSchoolDifference #BackToSchool2024 #OurCatholicSchools #firstdayofschool2024

New curriculum materials and textbooks are here! Our Teachers ordered a new Classical curriculum from Memoria Press to use this year at all grade levels. We saw these items while at the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education National Conference this summer and were impressed! They are so excited about this school year, the new knowledge the students will learn and how much we will all grow together. Make sure to check back throughout the school year to see what each grade level is doing, learning and experiencing through this new curriculum. #soarlikeaneagle #Iamwonderfullymade #OurCatholicSchools #CatholicSchoolDifference #newcurriculum

We are getting ready for the new school year creating some new spaces for students was fun. The new Specials room and the Student room is all set up. Music, Computers, and Spanish classes will enjoy their new space while the church is being renovated and the previous room is occupied. Students will be able to read, lounge, play games and socialize in the Student room, as well as complete tutoring sessions in the classroom during the school day. Only 19 days until school starts! #soarlikeaneagle #iamwonderfullymade #StElizabethReese #studentroom #upgrades #specialsroom #OurCatholicSchools #CatholicSchoolDifference
