Congratulations to all our Sparks on their outstanding academic achievement this year! Report cards will be available on Saturday, June 10 on your MyEmbers! account. Please contact Mrs. Reardon at kreardon@embersacademy.org if you have any difficulty accessing your student’s report card.

Fall Soccer Signups are Live
Registration for our Fall soccer season is now available! Soccer is open to our incoming 4th and 5th grade Sparks and strictly limited to maximum of 22 participants. We will once again represent our school in the City Suburban Catholic Conference Soccer League.
  • The schedule will be finalized in August, but we expect the games to begin very quickly after the start of the school year!
  • We will play approximately 14 games.
  • Practices are expected to land on Mondays and Fridays, starting in August… But that depends on our coaches’ availability.
  • Speaking of which: we are always looking for parent coaches! Please contact Mr. Sadlowski if you are interesting in helping coach this year: rsadlowski@embersacademy.org.

Sign Up for Fall Soccer Today!

A Heartfelt Thank You…

Today, we bid a bittersweet farewell to two extraordinary leaders who have made a profound mark on our Embers family.

Mrs. Hanretty & Mrs. Thursby, your ongoing dedication, compassionate leadership, and unwavering commitment to Catholic education have left an indelible mark on the lives of countless students, teachers, and staff members.

Under your leadership, our school has flourished as a place where learning is cherished and each student feels valued. The impact you’ve had on our community is immeasurable, and the memories we’ve shared will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Thank you for your exceptional leadership, friendship, and the abundant love you’ve poured into our school. You will be deeply missed!

A Fond Farewell
 

Congratulations to our outgoing 5th grade class who made their promotion on Tuesday evening! You have been a wonderful example to our younger Sparks, leading with virtue and spirit. We hope you carry Embers in your heart during all your future adventures!

Field Day Success

Our Sparks had a very enthusiastic Field Day! We enjoyed fabulous (and hot!) weather for an afternoon of games and ice cream. Many, many thanks to all our faculty and staff who helped organize and run this fun morning. It really helped to kick of a fun summer break!
