“Lord, I need You, oh, I need You.
Every hour, I need You.
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.”

Last week, we shared that the last 60 minutes of each Friday are dedicated to Panther Power Hour, giving our middle school students the opportunity to explore enrichment activities, learn new skills, and discover new talents and interests! One of the best parts of Panther Power Hour is seeing our teachers share their own passions, talents, and interests with our students.
For the first eight weeks, our 6th graders have been spending time with Ms. Hurm learning all about the ukelele! They are getting a little better each week!
We love creating opportunities for our Panthers to learn beyond the classroom from teachers who are excited to share what they love.

Mr. Nowak enjoyed sharing the amazing things happening around Saint Bernard with leadership from the Catholic Schools Office during a tour this morning! Mrs. Priar, Mrs. Ford, and Mrs. Anquillare serve as leaders for all 26 schools in our diocese and we are so grateful for their guidance and support! 💙📚✝️

Earlier this year, in March, our Long-Range Parish Campus Improvement Committee requested that Pearl Street be vacated at our east property line to improve safety on our campus and we were approved to move forward with planning!
Since then, we’ve worked with Universal Design and their civil engineer to develop a turnaround design that meets all applicable codes and requirements.
We’re thrilled to announce that the turnaround design was proposed and approved at tonight’s Board of Public Works meeting at Rockport City Hall!
This is another important step toward creating a safer and more functional campus for our students, staff, and school families.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped move this project forward—especially the members of our Long-Range Parish Campus Improvement Committee, who continue to pour countless hours into projects like this. Members include Ben Duttlinger, Andrew Bolen, Brandon Wilson, Rebecca Therber, Don Payne, Matt Steinkamp, Tara Lloyd, Ryan Nowak, and Fr. Jaison!

Here at Saint Bernard Catholic School, we are educating tomorrow’s leaders in a Christ-centered environment that embraces academic excellence, nurtures meaningful relationships, and inspires a lifelong commitment of service.
Our core values of Faith, Knowledge, Service, Family, Excellence, and Respect shape the way our students learn, lead, serve, and care for one another. Together, they provide a strong foundation for our school community and remind us of who we are called to be as Panthers.
We are excited to recognize our Panthers to the Core recipients for the month of August!

The final 60 minutes of each Friday are dedicated to Panther Power Hour, giving our middle school students the opportunity to explore enrichment activities, learn new skills, and discover new talents and interests!
One of the best parts of Panther Power Hour is seeing our teachers share their own passions, talents, and interests with our students. For the first eight weeks, our 8th graders are spending time with Mr. Morgan, learning about tools, woodworking, and more.
This past Friday, they put those skills to work and got started on building new picnic tables for our school!
We love creating opportunities for our Panthers to learn beyond the classroom from teachers who are excited to share what they love.
Stay tuned — We will share more about Ms. Hurm’s Panther Power Hour with 6th grade next Friday.

Today, we celebrated a retirement and thanked someone who has given so much of her time, talent, and treasure to our Saint Bernard Catholic School community: Mrs. Ruxer.
For nearly two decades, Mrs. Ruxer has been an important part of our school family. Throughout the years, she has touched the lives of countless students, supported her fellow teachers, and helped make Saint Bernard a better place through her love and dedication!
One of the many things that made Mrs. Ruxer such an incredible teacher was her passion for reaching every learner. She understood that every child learns differently, and she was always willing to find the right approach to help each student succeed. Whether through small-group instruction, individualized support, or finding creative ways to make learning fun and engaging, Mrs. Ruxer never stopped looking for ways to help a child grow.
Through her work with WIN (What I Need) TIME, Mrs. Ruxer helped us become more intentional about identifying what each student needed and providing the instruction and support to help them grow. Her impact can be seen not only in our students' reading progress, but also in the confidence and joy they have developed as learners.
Mrs. Ruxer, we are incredibly grateful for the many years you have shared with Saint Bernard. Thank you for your patience, your dedication, your wisdom, and most importantly, for the countless ways you have cared for and believed in our students.
As you begin this next chapter, please know that you will always be a part of the Saint Bernard family. We celebrate you, we thank you, and we wish you every happiness in your retirement.
Thank you, Mrs. Ruxer, for the immeasurable impact you’ve had on our Saint Bernard Panther family
Once a Panther, Always a Panther 💙🐾✝️📚
