Another month down, another day to celebrate "acting like a Knight!" Thank you to Father Doty and Sioux Falls Fire Rescue for throwing the sticky darts. We're proud of ALL of the students whose name it on the ALK wall during the month of February!
🕊️ March’s Virtue: Self-Control 🕊️
This month at Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, we’re focusing on self-control—the virtue that helps us pause, choose wisely, and follow God’s will even when it’s hard.
Self-control strengthens our hearts and minds, helping us make choices that reflect Christ’s love. Whether it’s practicing kindness, managing emotions, or resisting temptations, we’re encouraging our students to slow down, think, and act with intention.

The PES sisters visited 3rd grade classes today. They talked about the three things we, as Catholics, do during Lent: Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. They also talked about Jesus’ love and how we give ourselves during Lent to give back to Jesus. Then students got to write something they are going to give back during Lent on a cross and they keep it in their classroom throughout Lent!

Hope Week is a school-wide event dedicated to fostering kindness, inclusion, and positive mental health. Led by nominated student members, it focuses on kindness, friendship, and teaching students to identify peers in need and connect them with trusted adults!

We love St. Mary!

Congratulations to these January "Act Like a Knight" recipients! Many others were caught acting like a knight. These are the students that were randomly selected on dart day. Thanks to all of our students for acting like a knight in your words & actions!



💪 February’s Virtue: Perseverance 💪
This month at Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, we’re celebrating perseverance—the virtue that helps us stay strong, stay focused, and keep going even when things get tough.
Perseverance reminds us that with God’s help, we can face challenges with courage and finish the race set before us. Whether it's in the classroom, on the field, or in our daily lives, we’re encouraging our students to never give up and to trust that God is with them every step of the way.
