The Good News Book Fair is here, and our campus is filled with excitement, curiosity, and lots of happy readers! From discovering new favorite stories to exploring new topics and adventures, our students are enjoying the joy that books bring to learning and imagination. We are especially grateful to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make this special event possible. Thank you for your time, energy, and love for our students, you are helping inspire a lifelong love of reading at St. Agnes!

We are proud to share that two of our students, Sebastian Soto (5th Grade) and Nicolas Barros (3rd Grade), were recognized with the Step Up for Students Rising Star Award. This special recognition celebrates students who demonstrate outstanding effort, growth, and positive character. Sebastian and Nicolas have shown dedication in their academic journey and continue to be wonderful examples of perseverance and enthusiasm in our school community. Congratulations to both of our Rising Stars, we are so proud of you!

At the Academy Mass last week, Fr. JC honored our soccer champions, both the girls’ and boys’ teams, for their commitment, discipline, and teamwork. He also gave a special blessing to our teachers who will now serve as Eucharistic Ministers. We are grateful for these beautiful witnesses of faith and dedication in our campus.

Happy Birthday, Sister Alyssa! Thank you for the joy, dedication, and love you bring to our St. Agnes community each day. We are so grateful for all that you do for our students, faculty, and families. May the Lord bless you abundantly today and always. We love you!

Making good decisions in specific circumstances.

What a joyful day celebrating reading together! Our students gathered on the field in the sunshine and shade to enjoy stories, laughter, and wonderful Dr. Seuss costumes.

Older students shared the joy of reading by reading aloud to our younger ones, creating a beautiful moment of learning and friendship across grades.

“Oh, the places we’ll go… together!” A perfect reminder of the joy that books, sunshine, and being together bring to our students.

Our PK4 students began the celebration by singing “Happy Birthday” to Ruby in their classroom, filling the room with joy and big smiles. Later, the celebration continued in the cafeteria, where students from multiple grades and the staff joined in to share the love and appreciation!

Ruby, thank you for all that you do for our St. Agnes family each day. We are so grateful for you. May God bless you abundantly!

Our PK2 students enjoyed a beautiful visit to Our Lady’s Butterfly Garden! They lovingly watered the plants, shared a sweet picnic together, and gathered to listen carefully as their teachers read stories aloud.

A peaceful morning of nature, learning, and simple joy, growing hearts and little hands in God’s creation.

We are so proud of our 8th graders for leading a successful food drive! Through their leadership and generosity, they reminded our entire community what it means to serve with compassion and purpose.

Serving with open hands and generous hearts, that’s the St. Agnes way.

Our PK4 Sunday Mass chart is working! We are so proud of our little ones for faithfully attending Mass with their families and growing in their love for Jesus week by week.

Seeing so many PK4 students participating reminds us that even the smallest hearts are learning beautiful habits of faith.

This week, our students spent a quiet and grace-filled morning in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. It was beautiful to witness how prayerfully they entered into the silence, attentive, reverent, and truly present before the Lord.

May these moments before Jesus continue to shape their lives and deepen their friendship with Him.

5th grade class built food chain models using recycled materials. Students learned and applied the vocabulary words producer, consumer, decomposer, niche, and environment while exploring how energy flows through ecosystems. They also learned about the movement of matter and energy, how the components of an ecosystem interact, and how living things depend on one another through important relationships within an ecosystem. This project helped students understand how each role is important for a healthy environment and appreciate the responsibility we have to care for God’s creation. 🙌🏻

Our Kindergarten students made heartfelt cards for Father and personally delivered them to his office! During their visit, he kindly gave them a little tour, making the moment even more special.

Such a sweet way to show gratitude, joy, and the love that makes St. Agnes feel like family.

Our PK4 Peacemakers had the sweetest reminder of faith during nap time, resting peacefully with Jesus by their side. What a beautiful way to show our youngest students that He is always near. In PK4, faith is lived out in simple and meaningful ways. Students are also excitedly using their Sunday Mass chart, encouraging families to attend Mass together and grow in love for the Lord. And through the creative things they build and create, our little ones are learning that LOVE can be shown in everything we do.

Blessed beginning of the holy season of Lent. Last Wednesday, our St. Agnes Academy community gathered for Holy Mass to begin the sacred season of Lent in prayer, reflection, and unity. It was a beautiful reminder that Lent is not a journey we walk alone, but together as a school family.

Our youngest students gathered reverently in the school chapel, where Sister Ana Pia, SCTJM, and Sister Alyssa, SCTJM, lovingly distributed the ashes. Witnessing the faith and devotion of our little ones as they received the sign of the cross on their foreheads was truly moving.

Congratulations to our January Peacemakers! These students exemplified the virtue of Fortitude, remaining brave and strong even when challenges arise. Well done!

This meaningful milestone marks the completion of a program that has guided them in making safe, responsible, and respectful choices. Throughout the course, students learned about leadership, good decision-making, and the importance of standing firm in their values.

The Butterfly Garden survived the winter, and we are not giving up! Just like our students, the seedlings are growing at their own pace, little by little. We’re also excited to share that additional seedlings are coming soon! We are currently looking for “weekend waterers” to help care for our garden. If you’re interested in watering, please let Ms. Laly Romero Rodriguez know. Together, we help things grow, in the garden and in our community.
