HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR ST. ETHELREDA PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS




Thank you for sending your child to our school.
Although sometimes they think learning isn’t cool.

Thank you for listening to the School Reach and teachers’ calls.
Even when you are tired and don’t want to listen at all.

Thank you for understanding that tuition and the raffle are our only source of income.
When we sustain ourselves, God will bless us with what we need and then some.

Thank you for supporting us in all of our endeavors.
We only want the best for your children and their best to become better.

Thank you for praying with us and for us each day.
And we will continue to pray for you in our own special way.


 Love and Peace,

The Faculty, Staff and Administration

Lee Spells Sr. Scholarship Benefit

by Principal Spells

When someone you love dies, you are left with memories that you hope will never fade. You want to remember that person for the good he did and you want to share this goodness with others. Lee E. Spells Sr. was a person who strongly believed in Catholic school education, had a passion for reading (especially books about ancient history), and would give freely to others even if it meant he had to do without.  What better way to do this than to establish a scholarship in his name for students at St. Ethelreda School who exhibit this same passion for reading. Join us as we celebrate his life and keep those very precious memories alive for all to see what an impact his legacy will have on the education of present and future students at St. Ethelreda School.

What: The 2nd Annual Lee Spells Sr. Scholarship Benefit
Why: All proceeds will provide scholarships to students who love to read
When: Saturday October 3, 2015 @ 7:00pm
Where: St. Ethelreda School

Please join us!

Water Celebration 2014

Great news - Enrollment is strong at St. Ethelreda once again this school year!

Principal Spells has set an aggressive enrollment goal of 270 students. If that goal is met, then she'll take a bucket shower in front of the entire school in celebration.
It's call Water Celebration 2014!


The Water Celebration sign sits in front of the Main Office at St. Ethelreda.


That yellow sign on the bottom reads:

"Oh that you would bless us and enlarge our territory!"

St. Ethelreda Water Challenge
See Mrs. Spells showered with water
when we hit 270 students.

"Let the blessings flow"


Stay tuned.
St Ethelreda!
