St. Roch Stars Warmth for Winter Drive
St. Roch students grades K-8 know how to help those who need a little love. Our community collected over 20 bags (over 500 items) of warm weather apparel to donate to St. Vincent de Paul’s. Student Council organized the drive and exceeded their goals. Congratulations to the 8th grade class for leading the drive this winter.
St. Roch B&N Book Fair
Thank you for your support! The 2019 Barnes & Noble Book Fair was a huge success primarily due to our supportive community. This year over 80 books were donated to the classrooms of St. Roch. We had 100+ visitors and very gracious volunteers. In addition to all of this success St. Roch earns a portion of the net sales. We are so grateful to have such a kind and generous community.
This Year's Star Council
The Student Council for the 2019/2020 school year has a lot of ideas for how to improve our school. We are having a bake sale in October at lunch and after school. We also hope to have a Babysitting Night in February along with a Christmas cookie decorating night in December. We have other events that we hope to put on throughout the school year. Our final goal is to improve St. Roch by installing two new water fountains.

St. Roch goes to Washington
The Class of 2019 met with our congressman representing the 1st District, Lacy Clay!
The 8th grade at St. Roch traveled to Washington, DC March 9-11. It was the adventure of a lifetime! After all the work the students put into fundraising and making this trip happen they were finally able to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Twenty students and 5 chaperones took on the sites of DC including (but not limited to) The White House, Arlington National Cemetery, Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Lincoln Memorial, Pentagon Memorial, National Museum of African American History and Culture, The Capitol Building, WWII Memorial and many other spots. The excursion was a whirlwind enjoyed by all. The 2019 inaugural trip will, hopefully, inspire future St. Roch classes work hard to raise funds in order to explore our nation’s capital and experience the varied lessons in all classes that have been taught over the years.
Senator Roy Blunt joined us for the morning and gave us a history of the US Capitol Building.
