We want to celebrate all of the wonderful cultures that make St. Rita School a wonderful place to be! Each month we would like to recognize and feature one culture of our St. Rita families. We ask that families share pictures, stories, artifacts, religious beliefs, influential Saints, and more that represent their most special traditions. We will return all items at the end of the month, and we will display cultures on a hallway bulletin board. All items are due one week prior to the beginning of the month. Please save the date for our annual multi-cultural night on Thursday, March 21, 2019.
