  • A BIG thank you to our families for helping provide the supplies for the Blessing Bags assembled during Catholic Schools Week! Through the efforts of the Niamonitos Family, the donations will help provide many children in Philadelphia foster care with thoughtful and useful gifts, along with a heartfelt hand-written note. ❤️

  • ✝️ Our afternoon Catholic Schools Week activity featured a fun and engaging video filled with interesting facts about every faculty and staff member! The Student Council's presentation kept students guessing, and many were surprised to learn the answers behind each question. A big thank you to Mrs. Szumski, Mrs. Merryman, and our Student Council Officers and Reps for organizing such a fantastic week celebrating Catholic Schools!
    ✝️ We also celebrated the winners of the Guessing Game, Religion Bee, and Silly String the Teachers contest! Huge thanks to our teachers for being such great sports and allowing themselves to be silly-stringed—it was a blast!
    ✝️ As the week began with prayer, Sister Linda beautifully closed it with a heartfelt prayer service led by our students.
    ✝️THANK YOU to our families for all you do for supporting your child's academic endeavors! We remain dedicated to supporting Catholic education at Nazareth Academy Grade School!

  • CSW: Celebrating the Difference Makers
    ✝️Today we honor our Faculty, Staff and Volunteers
    Our administrators, faculty, staff and volunteers make an impact every day at Nazareth in supporting our mission in Catholic education - in the offices, the classrooms, the hallways, and the cafeteria! ❤
    ✝️The faculty and staff was surprised this morning with the NAGS Coffee Cart that featured beverages and sweets, along with a hand-crafted "Difference Makers" gift created by our very own Ms. Trotter! A delicious lunch was also provided to show our appreciation.
    ✝️As the saying goes, "Volunteers don't necessarily have the time; they just have the heart." We recognize the gift of time of our volunteers and Nazareth Academy Grade School Parent Association! Our NAGS parents and grandparents are THE best!❤

  • Supporting Nutritional Development Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia through our "SOUPER BOWL" is a Catholic Schools Week tradition at NAGS! Our students bring in canned goods and peanut butter & jelly for the organization's efforts to support families in need. As you can see from the amount of donations placed in each team's container, our school community is pulling for the Eagles to win in the Super Bowl! 🦅
    High fives to our families for supporting our mission!
    Thank you to Don at NDS for transportation of donations!

  • Catholic Schools Week: Celebrating Vocations
    ✝️Today, we honor the gift of vocations with a special focus on the 150th Jubilee Year of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth in the USA.
    ✝️Sister Linda invited two special Sisters to speak about today's theme. Sister Mary Joan Jacobs, CSFN, inspired our upper-grade students by sharing her journey of answering God’s call to a vocation. Meanwhile, Sister Jean Marie Pisula, CSFN, visited our lower-grade students, drawing a beautiful connection between the joy of family celebrations and the significance of the Jubilee celebration.
    ✝️As we recognize 150 years of faithful service through the Congregation, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to all the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. May God continue to bless them in their mission of love and service!

  • Shout out to the National School Choice organization for sharing our students moving and grooving to this year's official School Choice song! Check out our Jan. 29th post!

  • ✝️Catholic School Week: Celebrating our NATION! 🇺🇸
    Our students proudly wore red, white, and blue today as we celebrated the values of Catholic education across the United States. Nazareth is incredibly proud to foster a school community rooted in Catholic values, respect, and a commitment to excellence.
    ✝️After a morning full of learning, the students enjoyed games of Bingo with their buddies and friends! Shout out to the Student Council, Mrs. Szumski and Mrs. Merryman for their planning a fun week thus far!

  • CSW: Celebrating Our STUDENTS
    ✝️At NAGS, the students are at the heart of everything we do. Their hard work and unique contributions to the classroom community are celebrated every day! Today the students, faculty and staff enjoyed a “Decade Dress Down Day” where various eras were celebrated.
    ✝️Student Council also challenged the students to guess the decade of popular songs by moving to the left or right in the MP Room. The fun ended with a water ice treat and later each class made friendship bracelets focusing on the positive qualities of each child. The activities were a blast for everyone and a terrific way to showcase creativity and school spirit.

    ✝️Sister Linda and our students from upper grades presented the Opening Prayer Service highlighting the values and faith cultivated through Catholic education.
    ✝️A Religion Bee was held with finalists of grades 5 - 8. Congrats to Isaiah, Julia, Fallyn and Gavinn for their vast knowledge of the Catholic faith. We congratulate Gavinn, Gr. 8, for winning the chance to represent NAGS at the Archdiocesan Religion Bee in February!
    ✝️With donations from our families, our students assembled Blessing Bags for children in foster care to show their compassion and care for others in need.
