Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, January 25 – January 30. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2026 is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.” Catholic schools offer an education that combines Catholic faith and teachings with academic excellence and instilling the value of service to others, preparing students to be productive citizens and future leaders.  Our school theme is "St. Gabriel Glows" to go along with our "Let Your Light Shine" theme for the year.  We hope you will join us our fun activities the whole week long!  Click the image to see full schedule. 

We love our families!  Current parents/ guardians are invited to visit the classrooms on Thursday, January 29 from 9:30-10:30 a.m.  Come see the amazing things your children are learning!  

As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week and Super Bowl LX, students are invited to bring in hearty canned soup to donate to Fern Creek United Ministries food pantry.  Collection will be January 26- February 6.  Let's show our community how much we care!  

Come join and watch Kindergarten perform their annual Valentine’s Love Program on Wednesday, February 11 at 9:00 a.m.! Enjoy poems and songs performed by the Kindergarten class.  We would like to offer a special invitation to widows and widowers in our community. Program will be in the church.  

K-3 will have Valentine's parties on Tuesday, February 10 at 1:45 p.m.  Guests will need to sign in and wear a visitor's badge.  Parents who are setting up may go to the classrooms at 1:30.  All other guests are asked to remain in the office until 1:45.

FACTS has been moving their platform to a new website over the past week or so.  The process is expected to be finished later this week.  You will likely find that your saved login information no longer seems to pop up when you visit the new site.  That is because your password manager does not know that the site address has changed.  Your password has not changed.  To access, open the password manager in your browser, look for the password associated with Renweb.com, and then copy/paste that password on the new FACTS site.  (And don't forget to save the login in your password manager so that it is associated with the new FACTS site!)

The next snow day will be Distance Learning Day #2.  Snow day assignments are available to view on the Schooogy "Class of" pages.  Click here for more information about distance learning.
