Third Quarter Ends: Student Service Day

Spring Service Day | March 8

Spring might not feel like it’s right around the corner, but our all-school Spring Service Day is!

Plans are underway for 185 SAA students to go out into the community to be the hands and heart of God. We need MANY drivers/chaperones to make this day a success. Join us for this day and you will log 7.5 hours of volunteer time and get to work with some amazing students. Sign up at the link below, and include the number of seats in your vehicle.

Please pray for the planning and success of this day.

If you would like more information, please contact Michelle LeVeque at mleveque@gmail.com or Judy Apel at judyapel@outlook.com.

Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week | January 28 – February 3

National Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is coming up fast! This annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States allows us to focus on the value that Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities, and our nation.

Here at St. Ambrose Academy, we’re celebrating by asking classes (grades) to work together in 3 ways: themed dress or costume days, a Penny War fundraiser, and Game Day (Fri., Feb. 2). We will begin Game Day with a mass at St. Maria Goretti and the rest of the day playing sports and games at Keva Sports Center. More information coming soon regarding Game Day.

Here are the themed dress/costume days:

  1. Mon., Jan. 29: Extra SAA Spirit Day (school colors: deep red and gold)
  2. Tue., Jan. 30: “Dressing Day” – each class will choose a theme based on names of salad dressing (Ranch, French, Thousand Island, Caesar, etc.)
  3. Wed., Jan. 31: Movie Day – each class chooses a movie as their theme
  4. Thu., Feb. 1: Formal Wear Day – come in your Sunday best (see SAA Student Handbook under “Semi-Formal Attire”)

Questions can be directed to Ms. Katie Behrens
