Our 3rd graders took learning beyond the classroom today with a meaningful service field trip through Tilth Alliance at the Good Shepherd Center.
Students rolled up their sleeves to help care for the gardens, learning firsthand about sustainability, stewardship and the importance of giving back to our community.
The Fatima Flashback Formal: An 80’s Prom Affair this past Saturday was, like, totally tubular and an absolute blast from the past! From neon vibes to epic dance moves, it was a night to remember and a huge success thanks to our incredible community.
A massive shoutout to all of our amazing volunteers who helped make the magic happen and an extra, over the top THANK YOU to our rockstar Development Director, Ashley Mathey-Owens! Ashley absolutely crushed it and brought this bodacious night to life. We’re talking next level planning, killer details and serious 80’s flair-she made it, like, the best night ever!
Today, our students got to take a sneak peek at the silent auction items and the fantastic decorations for tomorrow’s auction! Fatima Flashback Formal; an 80’s Prom Affair!
Our 7th graders put their minds to work yesterday, tackling some challenging math problems together!
Some of our amazing 8th graders stepped up today, lending a hand to help set up for this Saturday’s auction. We’re so grateful for their hard work!
Today we celebrate Administrative Professionals’ Day and we are so grateful for all that Susan Gimbl does for our Fatima community!
Susan is truly the heart of our school, keeping everything running smoothly, welcoming families and supporting students, teachers and staff in countless ways each and every day.
Thank you, Ms. Gimbl, for all you do to make Fatima such a warm and well run place. We are so lucky to have you!
Rainy day? Gym closed? We’re taking this Pre-K gym class inside!
Yesterday, our 7th and 8th graders took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to the Washington State Capitol in Olympia!
Students had the opportunity to tour the historic building, learn about the legislative process and see firsthand where important decisions for our state are made. From the beautiful architecture to the rich history, it was a meaningful and engaging experience for all.
The final round of our students’ auction artwork is now on display in the Parish Center and it’s a must-see! These last pieces are full of creativity, color and heart. Two of the works are shown as poster board reproductions of the original art, as the originals were too difficult to display but they’re just as impressive! Be sure to stop by before the display comes down later next week to admire the incredible talent of our young artists!
Our 1st graders did a wonderful job serving as stewards at this morning’s Mass. From welcoming parishioners to participating so thoughtfully, they showed a lot of heart! We’re so proud of them!
