At St. Bernard School, we believe in celebrating the rich cultures and traditions that make up our school community. From September 15 to October 15, we are joining schools and organizations across the country in honoring National Hispanic Heritage Month.

Throughout the month, students will take part in fun and educational activities designed to highlight the history, achievements, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. Our celebrations include:

• Weekly Dress-Up Days – Each Wednesday, students can wear a specific color or themed outfit to represent different countries. From vibrant reds for Mexico to bright yellows for South America, these dress days bring energy and joy to our hallways.
• Trivia and Classroom Activities – Students will test their knowledge of Hispanic history and culture through engaging trivia challenges and learning opportunities.
• Stories in the Library – Mrs. Alvarez, our librarian, is sharing books by Hispanic authors and stories that reflect diverse voices, helping students see themselves and others represented in literature.

By weaving these celebrations into our school days, we not only have fun but also deepen our understanding of the traditions and cultures that shape our community. With over half of our student body having a Hispanic background, this month is an important time to celebrate identity, heritage, and pride together.

At St. Bernard, we are committed to ensuring that every student feels seen, valued, and celebrated. National Hispanic Heritage Month gives us a meaningful opportunity to live out that mission and continue building a school culture rooted in respect, joy, and unity.

At St. Bernard School, learning doesn’t stop when the math problems are solved or the reading books are closed. Our students also thrive in a wide range of elective courses designed to spark creativity, encourage teamwork, and develop lifelong skills. These opportunities allow students to explore their unique interests while building confidence and leadership.

This year, our electives include:

• Band & Choir – Growing musical talents while learning discipline, collaboration, and performance skills.
• Art & Embroidery – Encouraging creativity and self-expression through hands-on projects.
• Drama & Forensics – Building public speaking skills, confidence, and stage presence.
• Book Club – Sharing the joy of reading and developing thoughtful discussion skills.
• Brain Builders – Tackling challenges and puzzles that sharpen problem-solving and critical thinking.
• Team Sports – Promoting teamwork, sportsmanship, and active living.
• Finance – Equipping students with real-world skills in money management and financial literacy.

Our electives give students the chance to discover passions that may extend far beyond their school years. They also remind us that education is not one-size-fits-all. By nurturing a variety of interests, we help each child grow into a well-rounded individual.

At St. Bernard, we believe that true academic excellence includes the arts, athletics, leadership, and critical thinking. Through these engaging electives, our students are learning to stretch their minds, express themselves, and prepare for success both inside and outside the classroom.

At St. Bernard School, we are committed to fostering academic excellence and ensuring that every student is supported in their learning journey. This week, our students are participating in the STAR assessments for fall. Each student takes one math test and one reading/early literacy test, providing us with valuable data to guide instruction throughout the school year.

The STAR assessments are not just tests; they are important tools that help us better understand where students are excelling and where they may need additional support. By measuring proficiency and growth in these foundational areas, we can align our instruction to meet the diverse needs of every learner in our classrooms.

WHY STAR MATTERS

• Early Insight: Results give teachers an early snapshot of each student’s strengths and learning needs.
• Instructional Planning: Data is used to adjust instruction, differentiate learning, and set meaningful goals for students.
• Measuring Growth: By administering STAR multiple times a year, we can monitor student progress and celebrate growth.

Academic rigor is more than simply challenging students. It means providing the right support at the right time so all learners can thrive. The STAR assessments allow us to combine high expectations with purposeful instruction, ensuring that our students continue to grow in both skills and confidence.

At St. Bernard, we believe in teaching the whole child and preparing them for future success. The STAR data we gather now in the fall will serve as the foundation for instructional decisions, interventions, and enrichment opportunities all year long.

Together, we are building a culture of learning that values both achievement and growth.

On June 5th, students from kindergarten through seventh grade came together for one of the most anticipated events of the school year, our Annual Carnival Day. This special day marks a joyful celebration just before summer break, giving students a chance to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, and create lasting memories with their classmates.

This year’s Carnival Day featured an exciting new addition that had everyone talking…the dunk tank! Students eagerly lined up for the chance to dunk either Mr. Gusloff or Ms. Dudzik. Although the water was definitely cold, the laughter and cheers made it all worth it. Watching our principal and assistant principal take the plunge brought smiles and excitement to the whole school community.

Beyond the dunk tank, the fun continued with bounce houses where students could jump and play to their heart’s content. The playground was alive with activity, and Mrs. Heling kept the energy high, leading relay races that tested speed, teamwork, and spirit. Everyone enjoyed delicious treats like cotton candy and popcorn, adding a sweet touch to the festivities.

Creative expressions were everywhere as well. Kids got temporary tattoos and face paint, transforming into butterflies, superheroes, and more. Bubbles floated through the air while children drew colorful masterpieces with chalk, filling the outdoor spaces with vibrant art and laughter.

Most importantly, Carnival Day was a time for students to simply enjoy being outside with their friends, savoring the final moments of the school year together before the last day of school the following day. This tradition is something our students look forward to every year, and it continues to bring our community closer with shared joy and celebration.

To see the smiles and fun from Carnival Day, check out the photos from our photo booth on our social media pages. Here’s to another successful Carnival Day and many more to come!
