St. Michael -

A link to the weekly office newsletter can be found here: https://bishopogormancssd.edurooms.com/engage/st-michael-elementary/newsletters/december-6th

A special visit from the PES Sisters (and their OG helpers) reminded our kindergarten students and first graders what Advent is truly about—preparing our hearts for the birth of Jesus, growing in love for Mary our heavenly Mother, and remembering that the greatest gift we could ever receive is Jesus Himself.

"By supporting teacher salary endowments, donors are making a direct investment in the education and faith formation of young people - a noble and lasting contribution. These gifts allow teachers like me to continue serving our students wholeheartedly, and I believe donors share in the spiritual fruits of that mission " - Carly Ahrens, English Teacher, O'Gorman High School

A gift to our 8th annual #Tuesdays4Teachers effort helps to ensure future generations of Knights will receive the best quality, Christ-centered education.

🎁 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
