St. Louise values knowledge. In each class, we learn different lessons and concepts so that any of the things we learn may be applied in real world situations.

Louise also values Service. Every school year, each class has a specific service project throughout the year. For example, in 1st grade, we had a coat drive for the homeless.

In 4th grade, we brought books for a collection drive in 5th grade, we sponsored a godchild from NPH. Every day we would bring a money donation to give. In 6th grade, we donated food to Hopelink for the people at the food bank. In 7th grade, we raised money for Pennies for Patients to help kids who are diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma. In 8th grade, we created our own service project. My service project was a jackets and blankets drive for the men at CFH (Congregations for the Homeless Shelter). Also we served food at Salvation Army. St. Louise is filled with many opportunities for
