Each grade will have a VINCENTIAN SAINT as their model during the school year. Students will learn about special Vincentian Saints throughout their years at St. Vincent School.  

Goal:

Every student will grow in knowledge of their classroom Vincentian Saint each year/grade level.  Upon reaching 8th grade, students would have learned about the most important Vincentian Saints that depict our school’s Vincentian Charism.

Expectations:

• Learn about their classroom Saint and their teachings/virtues throughout the school year.  

• On the Saint’s Feast Day - a special service project for the Vincentian Saint.
  • Examples: Saint Coloring Page, a Class Poster/Collage, Saint Flag Banner, Saint Biography Bottles/Puppets, Saint Thinking Maps/Graphic Organizers, All About our Saint Biography Fill-In Pages, etc.
  • Projects are to be displayed outside the classroom.

• Apply the gaining of knowledge of each Vincentian Saint to the SLEs.
• Display projects in the hallway outside your classroom.
