End of the Year Awards Ceremony-2025

6/18/2025

0 Comments

 
​Today, we held our Last Day of School Awards Ceremony, where students were honored for their achievements both in and out of the classroom. A big congratulations to all the students who received awards today! All of our students did an amazing job this year! We also celebrated the end of the school year with "Destination Day," where students dressed up as if they were heading to their dream vacation or traveling in general.
Ms. Zorn extends her gratitude to all the students for participating in the End of Year Theme Days and especially thanks the teachers for their support in making these final days memorable. From stepping in with treats when supplies ran low to supervising scavenger hunts, learning to make s'mores in the pizza oven, whipping up enough popcorn for a small village, and joining in on all the fun, your efforts truly made a difference!

​What a fantastic conclusion to our Kindergarten Readiness Program for the 2024-25 school year! This year has been truly remarkable for the children. From the shy little faces stepping into preschool last September to forming new friendships, mastering their ABCs, learning sight words, and building confidence in their academic and personal lives, the growth has been incredible. Ms. Luna and Mrs. Lafferty's class is leaving Southtowns Catholic School more knowledgeable, responsible, and mature than when they first arrived. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents for trusting us with your children every day; it has been a joy to connect with both your kids and your families. For those returning for Kindergarten in September, we look forward to seeing you in a few months—enjoy your summer! And for those moving on to new schools, we wish you all the best; we’re proud to have been a solid foundation for you. Remember, our doors are always open, and you’re welcome to come back anytime.

Fun Run/ Field Day- 2025

6/2/2025

​On Thursday, May 29th, our entire school came together for the 8th Annual Fun Run! This year, we added a twist with a Bubble Run for the little ones and a Color Run for students in grades K-8, making it a memorable day for everyone. The morning kicked off with a mini Field Day featuring parachute games, hula hoops, water balloons, and even dodgeball in the gym, where some moms joined in on the fun! The excitement peaked when the snow cone truck arrived, bubbles filled the air, and colorful dust began to fly. A huge thank you goes out to all the parents who volunteered their time to make this event a success, from setting up tables and grilling hot dogs to cheering on the kids and supervising activities. Special thanks to Amy McCarthy for her dedication in organizing such a fantastic Fun Run! This year, we raised approximately $6,760, and we appreciate everyone who donated and pledged to support our SCS runners!

​Our first, second, and third graders had an amazing time at The Buffalo Zoo on Friday! The weather was perfect for exploring and learning about various animals and their natural habitats. Among the day's highlights were the Komodo dragon, red pandas, gorillas, lions, and Buffalo's beloved polar bears, Luna and Sakari. It was a fantastic opportunity for the kids to connect with wildlife and better understand the animal kingdom.

Kindergarten- Planet Earth

​The Kindergarten class has been learning about our planet. As a fun, hands-on project, students painted their own planet Earths. They could make it any theme, but had to have land and water. One student made a football-shaped Earth, while one made a video game-themed one. They had a lot of fun with this one!
