Pictured are the students with their cash winnings and K of C representatives Kevin Hoffman and Ric Cervantes who provide endless support to our students and programs. Great job students and thank you to our local Knights of Columbus!
4J opened their Book Cafe to customers last week. Their book menus featured a chapter book that they read in the month of February. The students explained their menu which included different parts of their books. Their customers left ravishing reviews for this cafe!
Jordan Catholic School's talent show was AMAZING! This week, the student leaders delivered a show packed with laughs (dad jokes!), incredible singing, poetry, dance, Tae Kwon Do, and even a UNICYCLE act! These students are seriously talented!
"Author's Purpose? More like Author's PARTY! 🎉 Our 3rd graders just threw a celebration of learning, proving that deciphering why authors write is a piece of PIE! 🥳 Look at these adorable bakers, serving up knowledge and smiles! You've nailed it, Jaguars!"
History comes alive! 3rd grade students crafted vibrant bios with "Who Was?" books, turning facts into thrilling tales. Great job Jaguars!
A huge thank you to Olde Towne bakery and our participating families for a wonderful fundraiser for our school! We raised over $2,000! 🧁🍪 A special shout out to the Dawson Morris family who sold 72 items!!
Ms. Anna and Ms. Molly were the Jordan Gala winners for “Command The Classroom!” While Mrs. Saucedo kicked back, drank an Atomic, and read a book, they took over. The "teachers" did an amazing job!
On her birthday, Emma was able to experience a day in the life of a PE teacher with her Jordan Gala prize, "PE Power: Step Into Mrs. Leischner's Shoes."
She led fun activities, inspired students, and embraced the joy of physical education. She was even able to have her older brothers as students!
Emma unleashed her inner coach and made unforgettable memories with Mrs. Leischner and her students.
Sheley Shadow Day! Coco was the best teacher! She greeted her students, took attendance, lead them in shaving cream spelling, gave her students extra free time, and even suggested we have popcorn and watch a show at the end of the day! Ms. Sheley says Coco is hired!!
Today the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders faced off in the legendary 2025 Jordan Catholic School Dodgeball Tournament, all to celebrate Student Leaders Week! Everyone showed amazing sportsmanship and, let's be honest, some seriously impressive dips, dives, dodges, ducks, AND DODGES! Mrs. Finnegan's phenomenal 5th graders went head-to-head with Mrs. Bandel's bodacious 8th graders. And after a nail-biting, sweat-inducing, ball-slinging extravaganza... Mrs. Bandel's 8th graders emerged victorious!
Mark your calendars for Friday, March 14th, at our all-school assembly! Our dodgeball dynamos will be taking on the TEACHERS AND STAFF in a battle for the ages! This will be the grand finale of Student Leaders Week, and you DO NOT want to miss it!

Our 8th-grade Financial Literacy classes had an incredibly valuable experience on their trip to Junior Achievement's Finance Park! With Mr. Baresel, Mrs. Brandel, and Mrs. Stear guiding them, our students dove headfirst into the world of budgeting and "adulting."
They were each assigned a monthly income and then faced the real-world challenges of managing expenses like childcare, rent, transportation, and all the other necessities of daily life. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to learn firsthand how to make their money work for them.
Ash Wednesday blessings! 🙏
Our students joined together today for a beautiful Mass, marking the beginning of Lent. May this season of reflection and renewal bring us closer to God.
Shining examples of discipline! Huge congratulations to our February Students of the Month! These outstanding individuals demonstrated incredible focus and commitment, proving that discipline truly leads to success. We're incredibly proud of the positive impact they're making!
