News & Announcements

Saint Olaf Catholic School was recently featured in the News. We appreciate the coverage, however, it barely scratched the surface of the entire story. Here's the full version.

October's Casual for a Cause is Wednesday, October 12th. Students may donate $3 to wear non-uniform school appropriate clothes for the day. All money will be donated to the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Primary Children’s Hospital inspired by one of our parishioners, Bonnie. Her family story is why we are so passionate about donating to this cause that is near and dear to her heart. (click to read more)

We were blessed and fortunate to welcome, in person, Author Kaela Rivera this past Thursday afternoon. We first met Ms. Rivera via zoom during Read Across America Week in March of 2022. Ms. Cowan introduced Kaela’s first book to our community soon after it was released the previous year, in 2021. After her zoom with our students in March, she ended by saying she’d love to meet our students in person.

In memory of Midge Gourde, we are resharing an article originally written/published September of 2020 in honor of the first Midge Gourde Day.
Read all about this remarkable woman, her family legacy, and a very special gift to Saint Olaf Catholic School. Thank you to the Gourde Family, for your faith and stewardship to our community. Richard and Catherine (Midge) Gourde sent all 11 children to Saint Olaf Catholic School starting on opening day in September 1960 into the early 1990’s.

Wednesday, September 14th, is our first CASUAL FOR A CAUSE. We start the year with The Ladies of Charity. For a donation of $3 per child, students may wear non uniform, school appropriate clothing that day in support of this Cause. As part of the founding faculty and administration for Saint Olaf Catholic School, we intentionally start our 10 Causes with these faithful women who were dedicated and devoted to the families here at Saint Olaf Catholic School as well as to many other sister schools and other worthy needs in Utah. You can still see Sr. Germaine on campus, serving and teaching our children when she stops by. Read on, for more information on the Ladies of Charity of Northern Utah.

Your middle school students in grades 5 and 6 just completed 5 days at Star Base Hill. You may be wondering what this program is and what exactly students did all last week. Read on for answers, some information included from the Star Base Hill promotional materials.

Last school year, during Read Across America Week we had the honor of hearing from authors Kaela Rivera, Frank L. Cole and J. Scott Savage. You can meet them and others in person at one of these Launch Parties events! More info can be found at www.shdwmtn.com/bookblitz.

On Monday morning, our students and teachers attended Mass with Father Andrzej to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. What a beautiful way to begin the school year. Thank you, Father.
