🦃 Thanksgiving Prayer Service. Before heading into Thanksgiving break, our school gathered for a beautiful Thanksgiving Prayer Service led by Ms. Kim, Ms. Beth, and Ms. Eileen. We sang together, reflected on the meaning of thanksgiving, and shared what we are grateful for our community, families, friends, and the many blessings we have at St. Rita. The service closed with a heartfelt prayer from Fr. Charles. Thank you to everyone who helped make this moment so meaningful for our students and staff. 💛💚

💚 In Loving Memory of Chuck Walker💛 It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Chuck Walker, a beloved former teacher and longtime baseball, football, and basketball coach at St. Rita School for the Deaf.

Chuck dedicated many years to our students, our teams, and our community. He was a proud father of 3, a trusted colleague, and someone who brought joy, strength, and heart into everything he did.
We are deeply grateful for his service to St. Rita. His impact lives on in the countless students he taught and the athletes he coached. He will be truly missed.

Please keep Chuck’s family in your prayers during this difficult time.

🌍🍁 Food Around the World – Maple Syrup! Today, our preschool students explored another food from around the world: maple syrup! They learned where it comes from, how it’s made, and then enjoyed tasting it with pancakes and bananas. 🥞🍌 A big thank you to a special parent for joining us and to Cracker Barrel for providing each student with their own bottle of syrup. We are grateful for the support and smiles! 💚✨

Popular items include: instant mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, boxed stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned fruit, gravy, cornbread, pasta, and soups.
If you’d like to donate a gift card for a fresh turkey, please hand it directly to me rather than leaving it in the lobby.

200 items: Ice cream social
250 items: Silly string the staff
300 items: Duct tape Jimmy to the wall!

To make it extra fun, students will work together as one school to hit milestone goals. Check out the “Turkey Tracker” in the lobby. We’ll add feathers each time they reach a new milestone!
Next time you’re grocery shopping, consider picking up a few extra items. Or do a pantry clean out this weekend. Everything collected will directly support families of St. Rita. 💚
