Administrator's Message
Dear St. Rose Families, Easter is a time filled with joy and hope as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus—a reminder that new life, renewal, and light are always possible. It invites all of us to reflect on how we are growing in faith, kindness, and purpose each day. Easter reminds us that learning is about more than lessons and homework—it’s about forming hearts as well as minds. Through prayer, classroom learning, school celebrations, service projects, and everyday acts of kindness, our students learn what it means to live their faith and care for one another. To our students: May the joy of Easter fill you with hope and excitement as you continue learning and growing this spring. To our parents and guardians: Thank you for being such an important part of our school family and for trusting us with your children. To our staff and parish community: Thank you for your dedication, care, and support—it makes St. Rose a truly special place. May this Easter season bring peace, joy, and blessings to your hearts and homes. He is risen—Alleluia! Erin Winch, Principal

Easter Prayer Father, the resurrection of Your Son has given us new life and renewed hope. Help us to live as new people in pursuit of Christian perfection. Grant us wisdom to know what we must do, the will to want to do it, the courage to undertake it, the perseverance to continue to do it, and the strength to complete it. We ask this in the name of Jesus, your risen son, our Lord. Amen.

Solidarity Team News
In April, our school community is focusing on an important human right: the freedom of religion and belief. This right reminds us that every person should feel safe, respected, and supported in expressing their faith, spirituality, or personal beliefs. As a Catholic school, we are guided by values of love, compassion, and respect for all people. These values call us to recognize the dignity of every individual and to create a community where differences are not only accepted but appreciated. Around the world, and within our own school, people practice many different religions and hold a wide range of beliefs. Each of these perspectives contributes to a richer, more understanding community. Throughout the month, our Solidarity Team will be sharing opportunities to learn about different faiths, reflect on the importance of religious freedom, and consider how we can support one another in living authentically and respectfully. Together, let us continue to build a school where everyone feels seen, valued, and free to be who they are.
