Catholic Schools Week Scholarship Giveaway The Aim Higher Foundation provides scholarships to children to access a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The tuition-assistance scholarships to attend a Catholic school follow the student from kindgergarten through eight grade.

Last week our Kindergarteners practiced sight words with smelly markers. 🍇 🍓

Today starts Catholic Schools Week!

We have a whole week of activities planned to show what our students are accomplishing and to celebrate the community we have built to educate tomorrow's citizens and church leaders!

We are "United in Faith and Community!

So proud of our partnership with The Aim Higher Foundation.

The Aim Higher Foundation visited St. Alphonsus School today to provide assistance to parents with their scholarship applications for 2024-25.  Mike O’Keefe and Claire Beuthe joined principal, Kari Staples, and teacher, Rebecca Buller, helping several families in advance of the February 23 application deadline.

This January and February, Aim Higher has been invited by ten different K-8 Catholic schools to assist at an organized “Financial Aid Night” to help families with the 2024-25 application. It’s great to meet so many wonderful parents, working alongside the dedicated school leaders and teachers in the Catholic schools.

MERRY CHRISTMAS from everyone at St. Als!!

The giving of gifts gives us joy, but this should only be a small part of the meaning we find in Christmas. The true meaning of Christmas is love. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We hope you all enjoyed our Christmas concert last week!! 🎄 The kids sure had a fa la lot of fun!!🎅🏼

The Grinch came to visit our elementary students!!🎄

Comment your favorite Grinch quote!!

“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
-Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
