Pajama Day = the perfect way to kick off Catholic Schools Week! 💤🎉
Our students rolled into the week in their coziest PJs and learned some powerful lessons along the way. We were excited to welcome O’Gorman High School students from SADD/TATU, who visited with our 5th & 6th graders to share important messages and answer questions.
The day wrapped up with our Money War, raising funds for our Catholic Schools Week service project: United Way. Thank you to our students and families for showing generosity, leadership, and school spirit!
What a great start to an amazing week celebrating faith, learning, and service 💙

⏳ January’s Virtue: Patience ⏳
As we begin a new year at Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, we’re focusing on patience—the virtue that helps us trust God’s timing, stay steady through challenges, and respond with calm hearts.
Patience teaches us to pause, breathe, and remember that every moment is an opportunity to grow in grace. Whether we’re waiting, learning, or working through something difficult, we can choose to approach it with faith and perseverance.
✨ “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” – Psalm 37:7

Attendance Matters: Serving Your Parish 💙🤲
When students are present, faith comes alive. Through regular attendance, our students learn that love is meant to be lived—by serving others and sharing the gifts God has given them.
From classrooms to parish life, we are forming hearts that understand faith isn’t just learned, it’s practiced. Thank you for partnering with us to help our students put love into action through service. ✨🙏

Mrs. Oleson spent some time with students reading a Christmas book and making special ornaments for Christ the King parishioners this week. The students, and staff, always enjoy when she comes into the classrooms to do special projects.
The PES sisters visited both Kindergarten & 1st grade classrooms today! With the kindergarteners they talked about how Jesus is the best gift they will receive this Christmas! They also talked about how they can care for Jesus like Mary did and how to always say "yes" to Jesus, like Mary said "yes" to being the mother of God.
With the first graders they talked about the wedding feast of Cana and how Mary teaches us to always do what Jesus tells us. Then the students made flowers for Mary and did a beautiful procession to the chapel.

🎁 December’s Virtue: Generosity 🎁
This month, our Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools community is focusing on generosity—the joyful willingness to give of ourselves for the good of others.
During this season of giving, our students are reminded that generosity isn’t just about gifts—it’s about sharing our time, our talents, our prayers, and our hearts. Whether it’s helping a classmate, serving our parish, or supporting someone in need, every act of generosity reflects Christ’s love.
✨ “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35
