2020 Reindeer Games
Since the school year began in September, it has been an amazing gift to reconnect the students with their community, rebuild routines, and revisit old traditions. In a year where so much has changed, to reach back and connect with familiar celebrations is a blessing! As students prepared for their last day of school before […]
Scratch & Arduino Coding Clubs

Thanksgiving Care Packages
Before Thanksgiving break, the fourth-grade classes put their kind hearts and creative skills to use and made homemade cards for frontline health care workers.

Next, they looked through the school’s recycled items to see if anything could be given a second life. The students used some items to create giraffe […]
The Very Snowy Rocket Launch
Last week the fifth and sixth grade students tackled a rocket launch project as part of their science curriculum. Mr. Anderson, our new middle school science teacher, partnered with STARBASE MN, which is a non-profit based out of St. Paul. STARBASE works with schools in the area to provide space-based engineering challenges and science activities. […]
Prayer Service at St. Mary’s Parish
Adaptation has been the central theme of this academic year. From the way the students walk the halls, to seating arrangements in the cafeteria, every Falcon has done a remarkable job navigating and adapting to the ‘new normal’. One key area of the Frassati experience that has been evolving as the school year unfolds is […]
The 2020 Frassati 5k
Over the weekend, friends and family members from the Frassati community gathered to participate in the fourth annual Frassati 5k. Despite needing to move this gathering to a virtual event, our Falcons rallied and made this a benchmark year! Four years ago, two parent volunteers brought their love for races to Frassati and launched the […]
