🌹 Today we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe!
On this special day, we honor Mary as she appeared to St. Juan Diego with a message of hope, love, and unity. Her devotion reminds us that God draws close to all His children.
May Our Lady of Guadalupe continue to guide and protect our school and parish communities with her motherly care. 🙏✨
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

5th grade learned about the properties of matter as they separated different mixtures. It was a fun way to learn how physical properties make separation possible!



Last week, the PES Sisters visited our 1st grade students and shared a beautiful Advent lesson about how Jesus gives us His mother. Students learned ways to grow in their love for Mary, created flowers in her honor, and ended with a sweet procession to Mary in the hallway.





Last week, the PES Sisters visited our kindergarten students for a special Advent lesson. They talked with the children about how Jesus is our greatest gift, helping them reflect on the true meaning of the season.
The snowfall made recess extra exciting! We were grateful for the warmer days that allowed our students to get outside and enjoy it.





There's still time to give on Giving Tuesday for Tuesdays 4 Teachers!
With your help, we can do more for our teachers. Give today in honor of a teacher who made an impact on your family: https://www.ogknights.org/page/tuesdays-4-teachers




Our Hope Squad visited Active Generations today, bringing joy to the adults there. They spent time teaching and playing games, creating a fun and meaningful experience for everyone involved. As we journey through the Advent season, it is a beautiful reminder of the importance of being generous with our time and sharing God’s love through simple acts of service.




"By supporting teacher salary endowments, donors are making a direct investment in the education and faith formation of young people - a noble and lasting contribution. These gifts allow teachers like me to continue serving our students wholeheartedly, and I believe donors share in the spiritual fruits of that mission " - Carly Ahrens, English Teacher, O'Gorman High School

🎁 December’s Virtue: Generosity 🎁
This month, our Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools community is focusing on generosity—the joyful willingness to give of ourselves for the good of others.
During this season of giving, our students are reminded that generosity isn’t just about gifts—it’s about sharing our time, our talents, our prayers, and our hearts. Whether it’s helping a classmate, serving our parish, or supporting someone in need, every act of generosity reflects Christ’s love.
✨ “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35

Our Preschool 3 and 1st grade buddies put on a festive Thanksgiving parade and made their way around the school! Their smiles, balloon floats, and excitement brought so much joy to everyone they visited!








Kindergarten and 4th grade buddies spent time this week together reading and sharing their Thanksgiving wishes! It was a meaningful and joy-filled way to celebrate the season and continue building their friendship.




5th and 2nd grade buddies graphed their favorite foods and then got creative making tasty Pilgrim hats! It was a fun and delicious way to celebrate the season together.







Thank you for all the generous donations to our November service project! This morning we celebrated Thanksgiving Mass and were grateful that Father King was able to give a special blessing over the food collected. Donations were delivered to Feeding South Dakota to support those in need in our community. A special thank you to our 5th graders for counting and helping load the donations — they tallied 418 items, totaling 238 pounds! We are grateful for your continued support and the spirit of service within our school community.
