SRS Community Carolling Event - December 16th
Additionally, the St. Rose chorus will be caroling in town from 4:30-6:30 on Tuesday, December 16. We will be staying on the east side of St. Rose Rd, caroling on Joseph Ct, Fourth Street, Third St., then down past the church, around the loop from Northland Drive and Terrace Drive, as well as East Street and Second Street. We will finish by caroling in the parking lot of the Development Club for anyone who wants to listen but is not on our route. If you would like for us to knock & sing at your door, please leave on your porch light!

Not a Fundraiser- Just spreading Christmas Cheer
St. Rose PTO is sponsoring a Santa's Kottage this year for PreK-4th Grade Students (MS students will be getting a gift as well at a later time).
Each PreK- 4th grade student will get a chance to preview the gifts on December 8&9 in school, and bring home a wish list. The PTO will be gifting (from a previous fundraiser) each student $6 to spend on what they choose. If the student wishes to spend more than $6 to purchase additional gifts for family members, and the parents approve, they will need to supply the additional money in the envelope. Please fill out the back of the envelope and return with your children to school the following day after their preview. We want them to be excited to be able to pick out their own gifts to give, with no one left out. There will be gifts for moms, dads, grandparents, siblings and pets to choose from.
Gifts all range from $1-$8
We will be there to assist the students with their purchases and to stay on budget!

When: Friday, November 21, 2025
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, a crucial time to bring attention to the millions of people affected by diabetes, a condition that impacts nearly 1 in 10 Americans.
To show our collective support for all those living with diabetes, their families, caregivers, and the ongoing efforts to find a cure, we encourage everyone to participate in our "Wear Blue" day!
👖 Details
What: Wear Blue Clothing (shirts, ties, scarves, dresses, etc.) - Please no face paint
💡 Why Awareness Matters
Wearing blue is a simple yet powerful way to spark conversations, educate others about the risks and symptoms of diabetes, and stand in solidarity with the global diabetes community.
We look forward to seeing our school turn blue! Thank you for your support and participation in this important cause.
St. Rose Elementary honored our hometown heros yesterday with patriotic music, lessons and keynote address by LTC Shelly Gibbs - US Army. We look forward to this annual assembly each year! Thank you verterans for giving us the freedoms we enjoy today!
Our annual Pink Out Game was a huge success as we hosted the St. Boniface Blue Jays!
The gym was absolutely electric, filled with fun, excitement, and school spirit!
A massive shoutout to both our Girls and Boys Basketball teams for their amazing games, and a special thank you to the SRS Booster Club for taking the time to recognize all of our incredible Jr. Pep Club Members! 🎉
Every basket, cheer, and pink shirt made a difference. We love seeing our community come together!
