Mrs. Castagnola's Fourth Grade class transformed their classroom into a literary cafe.

Dear St. Isidore School Families,

As the start of school is now underway, this week has both the teachers and students getting into a routine. It always takes a bit to get acclimated once again to a school schedule, lunches prepared and uniforms cleaned for the upcoming school day. Thank you parents for partnering with us to best support our students as we move into the month of September. This week a new communication was sent to you via Constant Contact. The Bulldogs Monthly Outlook is a quick and easy way to see what is happening on the St. Isidore School campus. We have already received great feedback from the community and look forward to sharing more in the months to come!

Congratulations to our newly elected 6th grade leadership students: Molly Castro, Grace Donnelly, Brady Gagnon and Hayden Gagnon. They have been selected by their peers to represent their grade level for the current school year.   

Tomorrow is a 12:00 Dismissal Day as we lead into the Labor Day Weekend. Bulldogs Backyard will be open until 5:00 PM for those who are currently registered. We hope you enjoy your day off on Monday and will resume with a full day of school on Tuesday, September 7th.  

In prayer and partnership,

Mrs. Carol Bender

Dads of St. Isidore! A new program is coming to the St. Isidore community, Dads of St. Isidore, starting Saturday, September 17th. Designed especially for fathers of elementary-aged children and teens, "That Man is You!" is honestly addressed the pressure and temptations that men face in our modern culture - especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to gather and develop an even deeper connection as men and fathers!

The group will meet Saturdays from 6:30 - 8AM in the St. Isidore Room across the street from the church. Breakfast and coffee will be served from 6:30-7AM, with programming and discussion from 7-8AM. For more information and to register, click here.

St. Isidore Cub Scout Pack 804 is gearing up for a great year. We want to invite your K - 5th Grade boys and girls to join us! We have planned an exciting year of activities, including hikes, campouts, cooking, gaming, first aid, photography, STEM activities, and sports. Join the parent information session (online meeting via Teams) on Sept. 8 at 7 PM. See flyer for details.

Sponsorship is a great way to support the school’s long-term goals and it's tax deductible! If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Rory Motas.
