101 Days of School Fun! Today marks the 101st day of school, and our front office secretary, Mrs. Rachel, made it extra memorable! She printed and cut out 101 photos of our President, Angie, and hid them all around the building.
Students and staff have been on the hunt, trying to find every single one. It’s been hilarious, and we’re still searching!

Black Deaf History Month Feature! Since February is Black History Month, we’re highlighting inspiring stories from the Black Deaf community. In this video from our morning announcements, we talked about Keivonn Woodard, a young Deaf actor who stars in The Last of Us on HBO. VIDEO HERE: https://youtu.be/0u_Eh2LyTyQ

Keivonn portrayed Sam, a Deaf survivor in the series, and received widespread praise for his performance. At just 10 years old, he became the first Black Deaf actor ever nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series category, a historic moment for representation in television.

If you want to learn more about Keivonn’s journey and impact, check out his story!

National School Counselor Week! We want to give a big shoutout to our amazing school counselor, Ms. Bethany! She does so much each day, checking in with students, supporting their needs, teaching classes, hosting Wellness Wednesday, CommUNITY, and so much more. Her care and dedication make a difference every single day.

This morning, our president, Angie, surprised Ms. Bethany with flowers and a mini balloon during the morning announcements as a small thank you for all she does. 💐🎈

We are so grateful for you, Ms. Bethany!

Catholic Schools Week Recap Last week was Catholic Schools Week, but winter weather had other plans! Due to snow days, we were only in school for two days, but we made the most of it. Students enjoyed a fun game of Bingo, with winners receiving small prizes, and our staff shared a potluck together. We were also blessed to hear Fr. Charles share his journey of faith, including his experiences becoming a priest and his vocation before arriving at St. Rita School for the Deaf.
Even though it was a short week, it was filled with smiles, laughter, and meaningful moments.
