From small-group discussions with the central office staff to visits in classrooms, the students, staff and families are being formed in their call to be missionary disciples. Central to the Christian life is the call of Jesus to “go, therefore, and make disciples” — Matthew 28:19.

We’ve raised $9,075 so far, thanks to the 55 families (29%) who have joined our fundraising efforts! We’re so close to our goal of 40% family participation — about 20 more families need to start collecting by Wednesday for kids to enjoy an extra recess on Friday. Big thanks to those who shared their links on Facebook as 47% of the donations have come from spreading the word online! Remember, every donation, big or small, blesses our students in big ways.

Good evening! St. Michael Parish will be using the gym tomorrow for a funeral luncheon. Please remember to send a sack lunch with your child in the morning if you did not sign up for a school sack lunch. Thank you!

For the first time ever, we’ve reached full capacity for our Dakota Bowl XLVII football camp! Due to the overwhelming number of registrants, we are unable to accept any additional sign-ups and will not be able to accommodate walk-up registrations this year.
We are thrilled to see such incredible excitement and participation in this camp, and we’re looking forward to an amazing experience for all who have registered. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure a safe and well-organized event for every participant. Go Knights!
