Welcome to the 2024-2025 St. Rose School year -- watch us BLOOM!

where they are immersed in all aspects of real-life finance including managing budgets, understanding real estate and investing. Recently they competed in a Monopoly tournament to see who could build the biggest portfolio. The Club will soon begin the national Stock Market game which is a competitive, exceptional learning experience. Exceptional enrichment programs add a dynamic dimension to the stellar academic curriculum making this a well-rounded, impactful education for students in Preschool-8th grade.

When lessons become tangible, young minds open to a world of possibilities and creations. That's what happens every week when grades K-8 visit the Innovation Lab. Third graders learned about the science and symmetry behind spider webs and weaved their own spider webs with dowels and yarn for an entangling STEM activity!

The dynamic, creative, educational Art curriculum at St. Rose School has added yet another sensational dimension now offering pottery making to Middle Schoolers. Through a grant from Foundations in Education, the ever innovative, enthusiastic Art teacher attended classes to learn about using the kiln which she has brought back to life and is using to engage students in this exciting medium. Pieces will be displayed at the Spring Art Show

Twelve St. Rose students, grades 4-7, who won both the school and regional Invention Convention, recently traveled to the University of Connecticut for the State competition. Several of those students received awards for their inventions. Anthony Kari, grade 5, received the Push for Entrepreneurship Award in Sports and Fitness for his 2 in 1 Swimmer’s Cap. Haley Ventresca, grade 7, received the Pfizer Health and Safety Award for her Handi-Helper. Connor Flynn, grade 7, was again recognized for his invention, Safe-Twist, which previously was recognized by the Connecticut Academy of Science & Engineering (CASE); he also received a special Congressional recognition. Congratulations to all of our creative and focused inventors. Programs such as these add dimension to the curriculum and open a world of possibilities to students.

Congratulations to the 8th Grade Class of 2024 who are now officially St. Rose School alumni! In a beautiful Mass and ceremony these talented, hardworking, service-minded students were recognized for the countless ways in which they have made an impact in our halls and on our hearts. They are setting off to various high schools where they will continue to shine their light. We send them with God's blessings and a reminder that St. Rose School will always be home.
