Forgot a lunch? No worries! If your student arrives without one, we’re happy to provide a nutritious meal to keep them fueled for the day.
Note: The cost of the provided meal will be billed to your account.
A La Carte Items will be on sale this week for Junior High students. Please discuss the option to purchase with your child so they understand your wishes. Their lunch account will be charged for any items served. Also, we share your concern regarding the importance of healthy snacks and surprise around the listing of "iced coffee." Please note that the items labeled as "Iced Coffee" are actually coffee-flavored milk. Links to nutrition information are available in the flyer.
Dear Bluejay Family, What a beautiful weekend it has been for our St. Cecilia community! Friday evening’s Night of the Arts was truly something special. From the stunning artwork created by our students to the impressive performances on stage, it was a joyful celebration of the many gifts God has given our Bluejays. What began as our annual Talent Show was honored in such a meaningful way. Our dedicated team showed wonderful stewardship in expanding it into an even richer experience, all while preserving the heart of what made it so special in the first place. Adding to the beauty of the weekend, many of our second graders received their First Holy Communion on Saturday. I was blessed to serve at both Masses and found myself sharing in a few tears of joy alongside their parents and loved ones. It was a powerful reminder of the incredible work our faculty and staff do each day in forming our students in faith. Our children approached the sacrament with both reverence and joy—it was truly moving to witness. Moments like these remind us that St. Cecilia is more than a school—it is a community rooted in faith, joy, and purpose. Thank you for the role each of you plays in making it so. Grace & Peace, Erin B. Henry Principal
"Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." – Luke 18:16
WE ARE SO EXCITED!
This week, our students returned to some exciting, long-awaited upgrades in the Annex restrooms! Over the Easter break, we made meaningful improvements, including replacing aging doors and installing mini-split systems to provide much-needed climate control—helping keep our youngest Bluejays comfortable throughout the day.
As we continue to grow and expand our campus, we remain committed to caring for and improving the spaces we already call home, ensuring they serve our students well each and every day.
Send In Your Photos
We’d love for parents to share photos of their students participating in school sporting events and other SCS-sponsored activities. Your snapshots help bring our community to life—send them our way so we can celebrate our students soaring both on and off the field! Email them to photos@scsbluejays.org.

Mother's day Mass
We have celebrated with our grandparents and dads, now we are excited to welcome our moms and mother figures to campus! After some discussion and feedback from last year, we made the change to this day in hopes to allow more moms to attend. Mass will be on Wednesday, April 29 at 1:00. We ask all moms to please let us know if you will attend or not by completing THIS FORM by April 24. This will help us with seating for you in the church and for our students. We will continue with our other traditions on this day. That format will be the same as in years past- after Mass everyone moves to gym for May Crowning and 1st grade Maypole. From there we will dismiss for the day.
