Our students had a blast celebrating with Pajama Day yesterday for reaching our first school goal in the Walk-A-Thon fundraiser! We’re getting closer to hitting our $25,000 goal — and there are still a few days left to donate! 🙌
You can support our school by donating here!
We can’t wait for Friday to walk and celebrate our school! 💙👟





📣 Walk-A-Thon Countdown – Final Days! 📣
Our students have already raised $17,090.69 toward our $25,000 goal! We’re in the final push before our Walk-A-Thon on Friday, September 19! 🙌
🎉 A big shoutout to our 2nd grade class for raising the highest amount per student last week! They earned the honor of ringing the bell and running the hallways! 🛎️🏃♂️
💡 Your donations directly support technology hardware and subscriptions, field trips, speech services, classroom supplies, and school events. All things that make our students’ experience even better!

We loved having special visitors for Grandparent/Grandfriend Day! Mass, bingo, and cookies made for a great morning! Thank you to all our visitors for coming to spend the morning with us!💙











For the first time ever, we’ve reached full capacity for our Dakota Bowl XLVII football camp! Due to the overwhelming number of registrants, we are unable to accept any additional sign-ups and will not be able to accommodate walk-up registrations this year.
We are thrilled to see such incredible excitement and participation in this camp, and we’re looking forward to an amazing experience for all who have registered. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure a safe and well-organized event for every participant. Go Knights!

🎉 Walk-A-Thon Update – Week 1 Success! 🎉
What an incredible start to our Walk-A-Thon fundraiser! Our students have already raised $6,354 toward our $25,000 goal. 🙌
👏 A big shoutout to our 5th grade class, who brought in $942 this week and earned the fun distinction of running the halls! 🏃♂️💨
🙏 We’d also like to thank the students and families who helped with collections after Mass this past weekend. We are so grateful for our generous parish communities for supporting our school!
💙 Every gift makes a difference—thank you for your generosity and continued support of our students and school community! If you’d like to join in, you can donate here: St. Lambert Walk-A-Thon Donation Link
