Dear Jaguar Families,
What a meaningful and active week it has been across Jaguar Nation! As we continue moving through the final stretch of the school year, we are grateful for the growth, faith, and energy our students continue to show each day.
ARK Assessment (Grades 2–8)
This week, students in 2nd through 8th grade participated in the ARK Assessment (Assessment of Religious Knowledge).
The ARK is a nationally recognized tool used by Catholic schools to measure students’ understanding of the Catholic faith. It helps us reflect on how well our students are learning key teachings, prayers, Scripture, and traditions of the Church. More importantly, it allows us as a school community to identify areas of strength and continue growing in our mission to form students who not only learn about their faith but live it each day.
We are proud of our students for their focus and effort during this important assessment.
Art Show: “Let Your Colors Roar”
Our campus came alive with creativity during this year’s Art Show: “Let Your Colors Roar.” Students proudly showcased artwork that reflected imagination, expression, and our vibrant Jaguar spirit.
One of the most meaningful highlights of the evening was the opportunity for families to participate in a school-wide collaborative art piece...a Jaguar snake made entirely of sentence strips. Each family wrote a message on a strip that was then added to the growing display.
As the snake came together piece by piece, it became a powerful visual reminder that every family is an essential part of our school community. Each sentence strip symbolized connection, unity, and belonging...showing that while we are many families, we are joined together as one Jaguar family in faith, learning, and love.
This collaborative work now stands as a symbol of who we are: stronger together, connected in purpose, and united in spirit.
8th Grade Retreat – A Time of Reflection
Our 8th-grade students participated in their end-of-year retreat led by Columbus Campus Ministry. This powerful experience allowed them to reflect on their journey, deepen their faith, and prepare their hearts for the transition to high school.
It was a special time of prayer, community, and gratitude as they continue to grow as young leaders of faith.
7th Grade Spirit Retreat – Preparing for Confirmation
Our 7th graders experienced their Spirit Retreat as they prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Through prayer, reflection, and meaningful activities, students were invited to strengthen their relationship with the Holy Spirit and better understand their call to live as witnesses of Christ. This retreat is an important step in their sacramental journey, and we are proud of their openness and participation.
Sunday Celebration: Mother & Son Western Brunch
We are excited to gather this Sunday for our Special Mother & Son Western Brunch!
This joyful event promises a western-themed celebration filled with laughter, connection, and a few very special surprises. It is a beautiful opportunity for our Jaguar families to make memories together and celebrate the unique bond between mothers and sons in our community.
We look forward to seeing them there!
Only 27 School Days Left!
It is hard to believe, but we only have 27 school days remaining in this academic year! These final weeks are filled with important learning, celebrations, and end-of-year milestones. Let’s finish strong together as one Jaguar family.
"Faith grows in moments of learning, deepens in moments of prayer, and shines brightest when shared with others."
Thank you for your continued partnership, prayers, and support. Wishing all our families a blessed and joyful weekend.
God is good...
The Administration Team
