Our Middle School students go out into the community to work with others. Read about the Academy’s “In the Footsteps of Philippine” program for students in grades 5–8.

Our school community celebrated the Feast of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne with an all-school liturgy in Rauch Memorial. Father Sean Martin, celebrant, asked the students to reflect on Philippine’s sense of adventure in her quest to bring God’s love to the American frontier.

Our thanks to the Sixth Class, who, under Sister Margaret Munch’s direction, presented a play about Philippine’s life for students in Classes 4-8.

On Wednesday, September 25, Mrs. Horner’s homeroom began the Fifth Class’ weekly visits to our neighbors on First Capitol Drive, the residents of Mount Carmel Senior Living. In no time at all friendships were forged as the students chatted with the residents, helped them play bingo, and aided in transporting them up to the chapel for Mass or back to their rooms for a little rest. It was hard to tell who was having more fun, the students or the residents.
