Thank you to our Rebel Parent Group for this fun way to close out the school year. We’re almost to the finish line! 🎉

Last week, our 7th graders were dissecting frogs and things were hopping in the lab! 🐸 Without jumping to conclusions, it appeared each frog has a suspicious circumstance that needed to be solved. This required a particular set of sleuthing skills from 7th graders with a background in forensic science. Lucky for us, we knew just where to find these scientists!
 
With a little evidence, the power of observation, and successful frog autopsies this group of investigators was able to put these mysteries to rest. No matter what the case holds, the knowledge they will gain from the frog autopsy experience will be ribbiting!

STM families, join your fellow Rebels at an end of year picnic this Friday, June 5, on the St. Thomas More Field! This is intended to be an informal gathering for families looking to connect as the school year draws to a close. Bring your blankets, picnic food, and yard games and join fellow school families for a celebratory gathering!

Congratulations to the Gonzaga Prep Class of 2026 who graduated on Sunday! A special congratulations to the STM Class of 2022 who graduated. We wish these former Rebels all the best as they head off on their next adventures! 🎓

Today our 3rd grade class headed downtown for a walking tour of Riverfront Park. In this final quarter of the school year, the 3rd graders have been working diligently on their Spokane unit, each student assigned to a person, place, and event that is part of our city’s history.

For the walking tour, 3rd grade teacher Ms. Spilker put together a photo scavenger hunt for her students, encouraging them to take photos with prominent landmarks in the park like the Bloomsday Runners, the Washington Water Power building, the suspension bridge leading to Canada Island, the Clock Tower, and the Radio Flyer Wagon. The field trip ended with a ride of the famous Looff Carousel. Thank you Ms. Spilker for all your effort in putting this fun, educational day together for your students and our 7th graders helpers who participated today!

Our 8th graders are making unforgettable memories on their East Coast history trip! 🇺🇸✨

From walking among the monuments in Washington, D.C., to exploring the rich history of Mount Vernon and Monticello, our students are bringing classroom lessons to life. In the past days, they have visited the U.S. Marine Corps Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Arlington National Cemetery, the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of American History, and the National Archives.

This incredible journey has given our students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of our nation’s history, honor those who came before us, and grow together in faith, friendship, and learning.

In these last days before they return home, please keep our students, teachers, and chaperones in your prayers as they continue their travels and adventures together.
