![]() STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education encourages creativity and innovation. It promotes critical thinking and problem-solving through engaging projects. Students at Our Lady of the Presentation School created robots, soccer stadiums, cars, parking garages, and even an arcade, enjoying teamwork and learning while being creative! #dkcsjschools It is heartwarming to see the older students at St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic School sharing the joy of learning by playing board games with the younger students! The 8th graders were the "Turtle Masters", as the 1st graders reviewed coding skills playing Robot Turtles. 😊 It's a wonderful example of mentorship in action! Archery inspires focus, patience, and coordination, while empowering you with strength and confidence. It nurtures discipline, alleviates stress, and cultivates sportsmanship. Moreover, it's an inclusive sport accessible to all skill levels—a remarkable way to aim high, both on and off the field!
Congratulations to all our Diocesan schools that participated in the State Archery competition! We are incredibly proud of your achievements. *Pictured is Holy Rosary, Clinton, St. Mary's, Montrose, and St. James, St. Joseph schools. ![]() A science fair is one of the most exciting events at a school—it’s a place where curiosity comes to life! For many students, a science fair offers the opportunity to showcase their creativity and problem-solving skills. It’s not solely about winning; it’s about discovery, experimentation, and the excitement of bringing an idea to life. Whether a project involves growing bacteria, reviewing water filtration methods, or determining which candle burns the fastest, each project tells a story of curiosity and determination. Congratulations to all the students at St. James School in St. Joseph who participated in their science fair! It has certainly been 'Sweater Weather'!
Students at Holy Cross created drawings of woodland animals dressed in sweaters, inspired by the style of contemporary artist Indi Maverick. They employed techniques such as hatching and stippling to imply texture and achieve unity by adding color to the unique patterns on the sweaters, hats, and scarves worn by the animals. Our students did a fantastic job! The students at St. Mary's, Montrose, had an amazing time celebrating the 100th Day at school! Each grade got to join in on the fun in special ways. The PreK and Kindergarten kids made some really cool capes, while the 1st and 2nd graders brought in their awesome collections of 100 items. The 3rd and 4th graders dressed up like they were 100 years old, and the 5th and 6th graders went all out in outfits from a century ago! The 7th and 8th graders really impressed everyone by bringing in delicious treats made with 100 food items. It was such a fun day for all!
