Happy New Year, St. Angela Merici families! As we turn the calendar to 2026, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible talent within our halls and the bright future ahead for our students.

Whether you are returning from a restful winter break or joining our community for the first time this year, we wish you a year filled with many blessings, growth, and joy.

Celebrating Our Spelling Bee Stars

We are starting the year on a high note by celebrating the participants of this year’s School-Wide Spelling Bee! The competition was fierce as the top three finishers from the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades went head-to-head in a final round. It was a wonderful showcase of hard work, confidence, and some truly impressive vocabulary skills.

We want to extend a huge congratulations to:

• All of our participants who represented their grades with pride and excellence.
• Our Spelling Bee Champion, who will be moving on to represent St. Angela Merici at the County Bee! We are rooting for you!

Seeing our students step up to the microphone with such poise reminds us of why we do what we do. It’s not just about the words on the list; it’s about the courage to compete and the dedication to academic excellence.

Our Mission in Action

As we move into this new year, we remain committed to our core mission: to proclaim the Gospel, celebrate through worship, build community, serve others, and achieve academic excellence. Every spelling bee, every classroom lesson, and every moment of prayer helps our students discover their unique gifts and talents. We are so grateful for your continued prayers and generosity that make this environment possible.
