🍦 Back-to-school never tasted so sweet! Ms. Kindra’s and Ms. Nanci’s class celebrated by making homemade vanilla ice cream and it was soooo yummy! 😋
(In case you’re wondering, these two amazing teachers work with our 3–6 Apparix students!) 💚💛🦁

Our students wrote down their goals and prayers on paper planes, then sent them soaring together. A beautiful way to start the year! 💚💛🦁

✈️🚀 Today we held our first all-school Prayer Service to kick off the year. Together, we reflected on our theme “Soaring to New Heights” and what it means to dream big with God by our side.
Each student wrote down their goals or prayers on a paper plane, then we went outside and launched them into the sky, just like we believe they’ll soar this school year. 💚💛
With God’s guidance, we know our students will rise, succeed, and reach amazing heights!

As we get ready to head back to school, we came across one of our favorite photos Fr. Waldhaus, the first president of St. Rita School for the Deaf, standing in prayer in the woods before our main building was constructed in 1924.
This powerful image reminds us that St. Rita was built on faith. From the beginning, Fr. Waldhaus trusted that God would guide and protect this school, and He still does!
Fr. Waldhaus didn’t just pray; he took action. He started with just 11 students in a small schoolhouse. As families saw their children learning and thriving, more and more came. Students succeeded, graduated, and built meaningful lives, and their parents continued to send them to St. Rita.
Seeing the growing need, Fr. Waldhaus dreamed and built bigger. He believed with all his heart that children with disabilities could do anything, and he made sure the world knew it too. 💚💛
That same spirit lives on today. Our staff returns next week to prep classrooms, complete training, and get ready to welcome our students, who arrive in just two weeks!
