Living, Loving, and Learning Our Faith Through Jesus

Catholic Schools Walk – Please note that the walk has been moved to October 25th. See the attached flyers for more information. We hope to see many families join us in celebrating Catholic education and supporting our school.
Open House at St. Catherine’s High School – Tonight, from 5:00–7:00 p.m., St. Catherine’s will host their open house. This is a great opportunity for families to explore high school options and learn more about their programs.
Middle School Events Next Week
- 6th Grade Retreat – Tuesday, October 7th
- 7th & 8th Grade Field Trip to Holy Hill – Wednesday, October 8th
  These experiences are important times of reflection and community building for our students.
Rosary Day – On October 6th, our school will join together in prayer for Rosary Day. This is a new tradition that will help us deepen our faith as a community.
Halloween Carnival – Mark your calendars for October 17th! Our annual Halloween Carnival is always a fun-filled event for the whole family. Please see the attached flyer for details on wristbands and activities.
Homework & IXL Practice – We encourage parents to ask their children about their homework each night. If a student does not have a homework assignment, please have them show you their progress on IXL. This is a wonderful way to see what they are working on in class, where they are excelling, and where they may need a little more practice.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s learning and faith journey.

Blessings,
Ms. Beth Woodward
Principal, St. Rita Catholic School

Reminders:

Dismissal Reminder

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during dismissal. A special thank you to all parents who wait for the “slow” sign before driving forward at the end of the day. For everyone’s safety, please do not move your vehicle until you see a teacher display the “slow” sign. Your attentiveness helps keep our students safe. It is normally just a three or four minute wait from dismissal until the “go” signal.

Uniforms on Fridays

Please remember that students should wear their regular uniforms on Fridays. Our Spirit Wear Fridays will begin after Thanksgiving. We’ll share more details as we get closer to that time.

Picture Retake

If you missed Picture day, Picture Retake will be Tuesday, October 14th.

St. Rita Parish Bulletin

Tablesetters - Community Service Group

Children in kindergarten through 8th grade are welcome to participate in the community service group at St. Rita called Tablesetters. We meet once a month to learn about Catholic social teaching and participate in service opportunities which reflect those teachings. Some examples of projects from the past are: making dog toys for the Humane Society, collecting winter clothes for a local school, making "blessing bags" for the patrons of the St. Patrick's meal program, planting bulbs on the St. Rita grounds, making scarves and hats for the Hospitality Center, and making cards for our homebound parishioners. Participation in Tablesetters gives students the opportunity to play a real part in the local and global work of serving our community. It's fun to work together in helping others!

Monthly Outdoor Rosary

Please join us in praying the Rosary outdoors. We will meet monthly from May to October on the 13th of each month at 7:00 PM at the St. Rita statue on the St. Rita grounds (near the parish office doors). Our next Rosary will be said on Friday, September 13. Rosaries, prayer booklets and assistance will be provided, if needed. The event will be canceled in the case of inclement weather. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and your friends and family. If you have small children, feel free to come for only one decade, if that is what works for your family. All are welcome!
