🕊️ March’s Virtue: Self-Control 🕊️
This month at Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, we’re focusing on self-control—the virtue that helps us pause, choose wisely, and follow God’s will even when it’s hard.
Self-control strengthens our hearts and minds, helping us make choices that reflect Christ’s love. Whether it’s practicing kindness, managing emotions, or resisting temptations, we’re encouraging our students to slow down, think, and act with intention.

5th Grade had a great experience today as they learned more about how our courts work from Judge Sabors!



Our PS5 and 3rd grade buddies put their fine motor skills to work this week as they teamed up to build a wall for Humpty Dumpty!



Our 3rd and 5th grade students recently wrapped up their work with Junior Achievement. Through these engaging lessons, students explored how businesses operate, the importance of philanthropy, and the many career paths available to them in the future. They enjoyed thinking about their own interests and strengths while making connections to possible future careers. We are grateful for the volunteers and partners who helped make this real-world learning experience possible for our students.


Our 3rd graders were busy learners today! They practiced evaluating expressions through a fun “sweet treat” scoot activity that kept everyone moving and thinking. Students also worked on their Southeast states and capitals.

✨ Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Josephine Bakhita!
Once enslaved and later freed, St. Josephine’s life is a powerful witness to forgiveness, resilience, and unwavering faith. Through her trust in God, she transformed suffering into hope and became a voice for dignity, freedom, and love.
May her example inspire us to see the worth of every person and to live with compassion and courage. 🙏💙
St. Josephine Bakhita, pray for us.
