🩶 Gray-Out for Vocations! 🐆
Today was a powerful day of reflection as we focused on Celebrating Vocations. Our hallways were a sea of gray as students participated in a "Gray-Out" to show our united support for those answering God’s call. ✝️
It was a beautiful, faith-filled day centered on the heart of Catholic education:
Vocations Scavenger Hunt: Students explored the school to learn more about the different paths of service & the lives of the saints. 🔍
Wisdom & Witness: We were blessed to spend time speaking with our Sisters & Friars, hearing their inspiring stories & learning about their journeys of faith. 🙏
A Moment of Peace: We centered our hearts by spending time in Adoration, bringing our school community together in prayer & gratitude. 🕯️
Days like today remind us why Catholic schools are so special—we aren't just growing in knowledge, we are growing in purpose!

Jaguars in the Spotlight: 🐆 Our daily series continues! Check our feed to meet more staff members who help guide our students on their own spiritual journeys.

🐆 It’s All About the Students! 🎓
Today was Celebrating Our Students day, and the energy in the building was electric! We honored our Jaguars with a well-deserved day of fun, laughter, and school spirit.

It was been a jam-packed day of celebration:
Casual Dress Day 👕 (Comfy Jaguars are happy Jaguars!)
Special Lunch 🍕 (A delicious treat for our hard-working students.)
Minute-to-Win-It Games ⏱️ (The competition was fierce!)
Surprise Flash Mob 💃 (Nothing beats an all-school dance party!)

The highlight of the afternoon? Our 8th Graders vs. Teachers Volleyball Game! 🏐 Let’s just say the teachers had a bit of a "growth spurt" as they took the court in hilarious blow-up costumes! 🦖🎈 It was a match we won't soon forget.
