St. Katharine Drexel School News
We wrapped up our Walk-a-Thon Fundraiser this week. Thank you to all who donated! We feel so blessed and appreciate all the donations.
This week we are celebrating Homecoming Week in the Bishop O'Gorman Catholic Schools.
Students in grades 3 & 4 will participate in SKD School Knights for Life this fall. The students will continue the mission of living pro-life, along with what it means to be a saint today and how living the saintly life ties in with the virtues the students are studying in school.
Our students are learning the Theological Virtues. The Virtue of the Month is Hope.
Some of our students are participating in Praise Singers. They will be meeting after school from 2:45-3:45 p.m. on Tuesdays.
Picture Retake Day is Friday, Oct. 13th.
If you have any questions, please contact Amanda in the School Office at 605-275-6994 or afriedline@ogknights.org.
