St. Benilde School

Happy First Day of Camp!! We can’t wait to see all of our campers’ smiling faces. Thank you Sign Gypsies for highlighting some of our favorite camp activities: laser tag, swimming, science, animal encounters, art, and more! Let’s have a great summer!!

Congratulations, St. Benilde Students, on reaching the end of another successful school year! It has been a joy witnessing your journey of learning and personal growth! Today, during our end-of-year Mass, we took the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of some of our exceptional students!

Today was our 7th graders last day! They enjoyed crawfish and Canes as a treat from our St. Benilde Home and School Association and the St. Benilde's Mens Club!

We are beaming with pride as our 1st graders put together an unforgettable Praise Rally that brought our entire school together. A heartfelt thank you goes to Ms. S, Mrs. Tammy, Mrs. Stephanie, and Mr. Shawn for their invaluable support in organizing this beautiful event. The entire school was on their feet, singing and praising the Lord, as the echoes of resounding voices filled the air with pure joy.

Congratulations to our 2024 First Communicants. We are so excited to be able to witness your growing relationship with Jesus!

Please join us in congratulating our 2024 First Communicants. May the Jesus they received for the first time today transform their lives, drawing them ever closer to Him.

Even a little rain can't dampen our Field Day spirit! Thanks to Coach Casey's exceptional planning and the invaluable support of our dedicated teachers and parent volunteers, our students are fully immersed in a fantastic array of Field Day activities! The excitement is palpable as we wonder which IRISH Household will emerge victorious: the Hibernians, Celtics, or Clovers?

We are so blessed to have Mr. Huck and Mrs. Huck contribute so much to our school and parish communities!! Thank you for all you do!

The Order of St. Louis IX was established in 1965 to honor those members of the laity who have made outstanding contributions of their time and talent to the Church. It is one of the most cherished awards presented in the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

This year’s St. Benilde recipients of the award were Tom and Audrey Huck. Unable to make the celebration with Archbishop Gregory Aymond, the Hucks were given their award by Fr. Matthew Johnston this past Sunday following the 11AM Mass. We are thankful to the couple for their dedicated service to St. Benilde parish.

We have been embracing the SBS IRISH SPIRIT all week at St. Benilde School!

Jesus is Risen! On Wednesday, PK3 students spent time soaking in the joy of the Easter season during their weekly atrium time with our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program.

🐰🌷 Our Loreto little ones had a delightful time today, spreading Easter cheer with an exciting egg hunt! Their laughter and joy filled the air as they searched for colorful eggs, surrounded by loving friends and family. 🐣💐

This morning, we honored our students who earned awards for the 3rd quarter. These awards include the Accelerated Reading Award, Pastor’s Award, Virtue et Veritas Award, Sisters of Loreto Award, Principal’s Award, and the Greatest Progress Award. Congratulations to all of our students!

We had a special visitor at St. Benilde School today! Local author Alex McConduit engaged our students with a reading of his books, a trumpet performance, and an inspiring talk about his life as a writer. Our future authors were surely inspired!

On Wednesday, 4th grader Dean W. stepped into the role of principal for the day. His day was filled with exciting responsibilities, including assisting with the car line, supervising recess, cruising around the campus on the Duck Mobile scooter, lending a hand in the office with Mrs. Suzzan, and enjoying a delicious lunch from Raising Canes.

Following that, our amazing 3rd graders had a blast celebrating St. Joseph's Day at a special Italian Luncheon, lovingly put together by the St. Benilde Grandparents Club. In addition to enjoying the delicious food, they also had the opportunity to delve into the inspiring life of St. Joseph, enriching their understanding of his legacy.

We've had a busy past few days at St. Benilde School. We thought we would share some of the fun and exciting things happening on our campus. Let's start with something heartwarming: on St. Joseph's Day, our Pre-K4 students got together for a special event called "Donuts with Dads" to celebrate the feast of Jesus's foster father. It was a sweet and memorable day for everyone involved!

Congratulations to Claire R. (1st Grade) and Sophia A. (7th Grade) for their outstanding achievements in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program at St. Benilde! Each of our readers who scored 100% on their AR tests were entered into a raffle for a special prize, and we're thrilled to announce that Claire and Sophia's names were drawn as the lucky winners. Keep up the excellent work, SBS readers!
