At St. Madeleine Sophie School, it’s the people behind the classrooms, desks, and office who make our mission come alive. 💫 This is who guides, teaches, and inspires our students — every single day.
Last week, all of our students began their CRS Rice Bowl lessons — a meaningful Lenten tradition rooted in our Catholic faith. Throughout Lent, they will learn about families in Ghana, Guatemala, and Bangladesh, whose stories help us see how we are connected as one global community.
Students explored the Catholic Social Teaching principle of solidarity — recognizing that we are one human family and called to stand with our brothers and sisters around the world. They reflected on what solidarity looks like in action and created thoughtful drawings to represent their understanding.
We are proud of the compassion and faith our students are already showing this Lenten season. 💜

3rd Grade put their faith into action today with a service field trip to the St. Vincent de Paul food bank. During this Lenten season, our students answered the call to serve by helping pass out food to neighbors in need — offering not just groceries, but smiles and kindness.
Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, they lived out the Dignity of the Human Person and the Option for the Poor and Vulnerable, learning that we are all called to care for one another. 💜
So proud of these young disciples for walking the Lenten journey with generous hearts and helping hands. #FaithInAction #Lent #catholicschools
