The middle school students have been working to prepare for the upcoming annual St. Catherine Science Fair. For this event to be a success, we need judges! Judging will happen all day on Tuesday, March 10th between 8:30am and 3pm, and in the morning on Wednesday, March 11th between 8:30am and 12:15pm.

If you can be a science fair judge, please contact Lissa Payne at lpayne@stcatherineschool.net. Experience or science background is optional and judges are not asked to be there the entire day. Rather, come when your schedule allows and judge one project or twenty. Please consider helping us out. As an extra incentive, science fair judges will get DOUBLE volunteer hours. Thank you!

Our Tiger joggers are off to the races! See below for results from our first Tally Tuesday, and keep helping your student(s) secure those donations in 99 Pledges here: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/2026stcath!

Additionally, we are still looking for one more volunteer for the day of the event - if you're able to join and operate a pre-made Spotify playlist from your phone for our parking lot runners, we'd greatly appreciate it! Sign up here.

Please join us TONIGHT for our Auction Team meeting, 6pm in the learning commons. All are welcome.

March 8th is the final procurement deadline. Use the link to donate and then drop off your item(s) in the office any time this week! Don't know what to donate, read the auction newsletter below.

Questions?

Contact your Auction Co-Charis, Natalia & Katie at auction@stcatherineschool.net. Thanks!

Our Annual Auction is one of the biggest and most important events of the year - and it truly takes our whole community to make it happen!

We’re need parent volunteers to help with decorations, set-up, check-in, clean-up, and more. Whether you can lend a few hours before the event or help the night of, your time makes a meaningful difference.

As a reminder, all families are required to contribute 5 volunteer hours toward the auction. This is a wonderful (and fun!) way to fulfill that commitment while supporting our school.

Sign up today and be part of bringing Boots, Bling & Big Dreams to life!

We’re looking for volunteers to donate a dessert for this year’s auction! Whether homemade or purchased, every sweet treat helps make the Dessert Dash a delicious success.

Sign up today to contribute and support our school!

Back again this year, a fun night to get out and celebrate St. Patrick's Day with delicious food and a live band! This event is hosted by both Parent Club and the St. Catherine Parish.

We are offering 8 weeks of Summer Camp for current Early Learning - 3rd Grade students.

You can register your child for any (or all) of the weeks, and choose between the half day program, 9am-12pm, or the full day program, 9am-3pm. (Your child must be enrolled at St. Catherine for the 2026-2027 school year in order to enjoy this summer program.) Stay tuned, daily camp registration will open in June 2026.

To sign up your child, please log into your FinalSite Parent Portal and complete the Summer Program Registration Form located in the "Optional Steps" of your child's enrollment checklist.

Payment is due at the time of registration. You will be required to pay in full once the registration form is complete. No refunds for cancellations after March 31st, 2026.

We look forward to seeing your child this summer!

Don’t miss the chance to capture this year’s memories! Yearbook order forms are now available in the FinalSite Parent Portal. The cost is $30 per yearbook and orders must be placed by March 27th.

Please note: 8th grade families do not need to place an order, as the yearbook is included in your graduating student's graduation fee package.

This year, we invite all 74 Catholic schools to move as one community in our first-ever Move Your Feet 5K.

We move our feet not just as individual schools, but as one Catholic school family, united in faith, love, and solidarity. Together, we stand with Annunciation School, honoring lives lost and holding their community close in prayer.

This is more than a race.

This event is a visible sign of who we are as Catholic schools. Our hope is that every school is represented - a powerful way to show Western Washington that Catholic Schools are here, united, and thriving. Please invite your friends and neighbors!

“When you pray, move your feet”

DATE: Saturday, March 28, 2026

TIME: 9am (Bonus: For those interested in race times, the run will be officially timed)

St. Catherine School is now using MobileServe to track and report volunteer hours. Parents & middle school students will log their hours directly through the MobileServe platform.

If you have any questions about reporting your family's hours or the MobileServe platform, please contact Amanda or Tali in the office.
