Welcome to the new school year!
The staff at SCCS has been working hard over the summer to provide enriching faith filled opportunities for all of our students. Using our Mission statement to guide us, we will enhance our “school culture” with our CORE VALUES. These Core Values will guide us in all that we do at SCCS. After much thought, it was decided that RISE would best fit our needs.
RESPECT - INTEGRITY - SERVICE - EXCEL
Our CATHOLIC faith and these Core Values -RISE will be the foundation of ALL that I do with your children. I am very excited about these new changes!
Fondly,
Lisa Mahler
I will use Bible stories to teach the Lifelong Guidelines and Life Skills.
On the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Dec. 8, 2020, Pope Francis issued an apostolic letter, Patris corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), for the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as patron of the universal Church. To mark the occasion, the pope proclaimed a year dedicated to Mary’s husband, Joseph, foster father to Jesus. The special “Year of St. Joseph” will be held through Dec. 8, 2021.
In his apostolic letter, Pope Francis explains that the aim of this special year is “to increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal,” describing St. Joseph as a “beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is creatively courageous, a working father, a father in the shadows.”
In Mass, we will:

celebrate feast days and the seasons of the Liturgical year
Every morning the entire school participates in the Loyola Press 3 minute retreat (you can too-click the link). Click here for uplifting religious Music: We will get up and celebrate the goodness of the Lord!
Each week, we will be learning more about our Catholic faith with our religion series-Finding God. Look for these workbook pages to come home in your child's binder!
