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.

But finally - you made it all those laps, and you should be proud!
We're proud of YOU!
