Our Students Speak:
a talk by two of our sixth-graders
St. Rose Church, Sunday, Jan 31st
Hi, I’m Kaylee, and I’m Elizabeth, and we are both currently in the sixth
grade at St. Rose School.
In Catholic school, we’ve learned many valuable skills that we believe will
help us in our future. We have learned many things from the education we
have gotten so far from Catholic school. We have been taught to apply our
knowledge to real life situations and understand information effectively.
We also have many extra-curricular programs that help us discover out interests
in different activities, such as sports, drama, and music.
Catholic school has shown us to be leaders in out daily life and take responsibility
for our own actions. We have many experiences of working in groups where
we show respect for others and leadership. We are also taught to make responsible
decisions and help others to do the same.
In religion, we learn to be faithful to God and help others in time of need.
We all know that God loves each one of us, which is the main theme for St.
Rose Catholic School. We also remember to always think positively in difficult
situations. One other important thing that Catholic schools focus on in religion
is helping others. Students are motivated to do this by doing service
hours, where we get chances to participate in our Parish and community. Examples
of the types of service we do is volunteering in the Parish Festival, working
at the Pancake Breakfast, and altar serving.
The community of a Catholic school is very inspiring and always willing to
help. The teachers are always ready to be supportive and make learning interesting.
We also have many parent volunteers that make many of our holiday celebrations
exciting and entertaining. Also at school we have many chances to get to
know our classmates. I remember when I first came to St. Rose School. I was
shy and nervous to approach my class, but before I could even say hi to anyone,
they came to me and welcomed me warmly. My classmates helped me to get to
know our school and came to me whenever I needed help. I was surprised at
how kind they were to me and was never hesitant to ask for help.
Being in Catholic school is a very valuable experience where you develop
important skills that help us to have a faithful and fulfilling life in relationship
with God. Thank you.
