Embers’ Mighty Mistro!
As you can imagine, putting together two music videos, featuring over 120 of our students, that includes soloists and dancers is no small feat! We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Rob Sadlowski for the extensive time and energy he put into making these videos. Music is so often overlooked, and we are thrilled to say that is not the case at Embers! Mr. Sadlowski’s talents are greatly appreciated.

April Virtue: Forgiveness
Our April virtue, Forgiveness, was presented on Monday by our 2nd grade classes. We learned all about the importance of not only forgiving others, but also the importance of apologizing. We encourage all our families to witness God’s forgiveness this month and experience the Sacrament of Reconciliation, either by going to church as a family or by talking about the Sacrament with your children. Celebrating the Sacrament is a beautiful experience of God’s love!

A Wild Time was Had by All!

|

Our students had a “wild” time on Tuesday at the J.G. Reptile Show! From snakes and cockroaches to giant turtles and lizards, our Sparks got a hands-on approach in learning about how these animals live. Thank you to all who supported our 2023 Extravaganza fundraiser by purchasing your students’ ticket to this amazing show!
