End of the Year Luau

The Prayer Partners program has been one of the most rewarding for many students this year. Special friendships have formed that will last for years to come! As an end of the school year treat and celebration, the seventh grade students sponsored a luau for their first grade prayer partners. Hula hooping contests, pin the coconut on the palm tree and a fantastic beach-themed cake made this one memorable afternoon!

Mary's Day

Students celebrated Mass in Honor of Mary today. The ocean breezes proved too much for Mary's crown, so we placed it in her hands. Kindergarten students did a wonderful job with the liturgy. They also organized a collection of items to be donated to Camilla House, a home for retired sisters. The kindergarten students presented the baskets to two Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary who were special guests at the mass along with the Pastor from St. Raymond's church.

Getting the Beaches Ready for Memorial Day

Organized by the local chapter of the Kiwanis club, seventh and eighth grade students formed two brigades and picked up litter from the beaches on Friday, May 23rd. The children collected a variety of items, but most interesting was this “Road Closed” sign which was found in the dunes.

Student wins Wildwood Alumni Scholarship

Each year, the Wildwood Catholic High School Alumni & Friends Association awards a scholarship to one incoming freshman. Students enter the contest by preparing a short essay explaining why they want to attend WWC. We are proud that an OLSOS student was the recipient of this scholarship valued at $4000.

Spring Musical

Last evening, families and friends of students were treated to a variety of musical entertainment. The beginner and advanced bands performed first. We were treated to drum, piano and guitar solos. Rounding out the evening were a variety of vocal performances.

"Y" is for Yoga

How can our pre-school teacher reinforce this week's letter of the week? By taking her students to a yoga class, of course. Miss Rechner invited a local yoga teacher to come to the school and teach a class. The pre-school students invited Kindergarten and 1st grade to join them. They sure had fun!!

Ready for First Communion

The 2nd grade students are counting down. Only nine more days until their very special day, the day they celebrate the sacrament of First Eucharist. Today, they were practicing the songs they will sing during mass, they want everything to be just perfect!

Finding our Path

Today, the 5th-8th grade students were honored by a visit from Kate Fourqurean. As a high school student, Kate participated in the Camden diocese's Summer in the City program. This program opened Kate's eyes to the blessings and gifts she has been given and made her realize that her path leads to helping others. Recently returning from 2 years as a Peace Corps worker in Zambia, Kate will continue following her path when she begins work for a non-profit organization that helps refugees.
