Students in sixth-grade science have been learning about astronomy and all of the objects in our solar system. To make the topic of astronomy even more hands-on, students built their own model rockets using simple materials like paper towel tubes, cardboard and plastic easter eggs. We launched our rockets outside to see how high they would go and to see which rocket had the longest flight time. Congratulations to Camden and Finn on a perfect launch with the longest flight time! It was a fun way to connect our studies of space with real-world applications. Everyone had a blast!

This past December, Saint Edward's School alumni, as well as a few dads, came together to participate in the third annual mens alumni lacrosse game on campus. The event featured graduates who spanned several decades from the 90's through 2024. Spectators loved the Kona-Ice and snacks while watching the teams square off on a shortened field with fewer face-offs, making for a fast-paced match enjoyed by all in the stands. We can't wait to see what these players have in store for next time. Here are some great shots from this year's men's game.
