Living Our Best Lives Through Jesus
St. Edward Catholic School is helping children become saints through the Monarchs with Merit Program which is based on VIRTUES. A virtue is a habit to do the good, give the best of ourselves and be more like God in what we say and do. To develop a habit takes practice! Our students will learn about and live out the virtues of faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. These seven virtues are the cornerstone of the moral life and will guide our students toward holiness and heaven.
Monarchs with Merit Recognition: Each homeroom teacher will select and recognize one student each month for practicing the virtue being highlighted.. A Monarchs with Merit certificate and a pin will be presented to the students after Mass on the following dates:
Theme |
Mass Date | |
---|---|---|
September | Charity | 9/27/24 |
October | Faith | 10/25/24 |
November/December | Hope | 12/13/24 |
January | Prudence | 1/31/24 |
February | Justice | 2/28/24 |
March | Fortitude | 4/4/24 |
April/May | Temperance | 5/2/24 |
Additionally, our school-wide Biblical social and emotional learning program, Friendzy, teaches God’s design for friendships through the lens of Scripture and focuses on cultivating a Christ-centered school community.
Through both our Monarchs Virtues and Friendzy program, we will promote a more nurturing and caring culture within our school.
