This year, we’re excited to announce that we will be participating in #iGiveCatholic on December 3rd, instead of North Texas Giving Day. Your donation will still make a big impact through #iGiveCatholic, a national day of generosity specifically for Catholic organizations.
#iGiveCatholic is a bishop-led initiative in collaboration with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and dozens of individual dioceses to bring the Catholic community together to inspire and support generosity.
This national celebration of Catholic generosity begins with the Advanced Giving phase on November 18 and continues through the actual giving day on #GivingTuesday, December 3. We look forward to celebrating the day with you!
Your generosity helps us continue to provide an excellent faith-based education for our students.
You can also donate year-round directly to the St. E Annual Fund.
Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration that takes place from September 15th to October 15th and we always have so much fun celebrating at our school. It is a time to honor and recognize the contributions, culture, and history of Hispanic and Latino Americans, whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean.
Hispanic Heritage Month is not just about celebrating the past; it's about recognizing the ongoing contributions and influence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in shaping the diverse tapestry of our nation's culture. Embracing and appreciating this heritage enriches our society and strengthens the bonds that unite us all.
Our annual Halloween Carnival is a cherished and time-honored tradition that brings the community together for a day of excitement, celebration, and fun. Through creativity, collaboration, and shared experiences, the carnival helps foster lasting friendships and a sense of belonging, making it a cherished event.
The Halloween Carnival provides a well-supervised and controlled environment for children to enjoy Halloween-themed festivities without worries, making it an attractive option for families. The Halloween Carnival is more than just a fun event; it's a time-honored tradition that plays a significant role in building a strong, connected school community.
This year our Halloween Carnival will be on October 28th from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. We hope to see you there!
Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. This year it begins on January 28 and runs through February 3rd. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2024 is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.” We typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. With the help of our parents, teachers and community, we celebrate Black History throughout the school year and most especially during February. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.
During the month of February, we celebrate by having daily trivia games, scavenger hunts, learning and dressing like Black leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics, wearing Black History Colors (Black, Green, Yellow and Red) and doing so much more!
Cinco de Mayo, which translates to "Fifth of May" in Spanish, is an annual celebration observed on May 5th. Mrs. Barrientos does such a phenomenal job celebrating with our school community.
This vibrant and culturally significant holiday commemorates an important historical event in Mexico's history. While it is often mistaken for Mexico's Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo holds a different significance, representing Mexican pride, heritage, and unity within Mexico and worldwide.
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo does not mark Mexico's independence from Spanish colonial rule, which was declared on September 16, 1810. Instead, it commemorates the victory of the Mexican army over the French forces during the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
Be sure to join us each year for this fun celebration!
