It was a night of celebration as the next group of Jesuit Academy students joined the ranks of alumni! A big congratulations to the eleven students who completed their 8th grade year and will be entering high school next fall. We are extremely proud of you and look forward to supporting you in the years to come!

It was a packed gym for this afternoon's Jesuit Academy STEM Fair - thank you to everyone who joined to support the students of Jesuit Academy!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Our mission is not possible,
Without friends like you!
Thank you for your love. Happy Valentine's Day from Jesuit Academy!

Good news to share! At a robotics competition this past weekend, the Jesuit Academy team took home the Excellence Award, the highest award presented in the VEX IQ programs. The recipient is a team that exemplifies overall excellence in building a high quality robotics program, is a team that excels in many areas, and is a shining example of dedication, devotion, hard work and teamwork. We are so proud!
Two students represented Jesuit Academy at the competition, but all students participating as part of the Robotics Club were instrumental in building the robot, completing the research project, and completing the design notebook. The team research project was on driverless cars. Students created slides and presented to the judges.

During the competition, Jesuit Academy students were recognized for helping other teams out, several who were competing for the first time. On one occasion, a participating team had a robot malfunction right before the beginning of a round and the Jesuit Academy students jumped right in to help. Men for Others!

As winners of the Excellence Award, Jesuit Academy has been invited to Nationals, which will be held in Council Bluffs in April. The event spans three days and will cost $395 to participate. We are currently seeking a sponsor for the tournament. If interested, we’d love to chat! Please call 402-346-4464 ext. 20.

To celebrate Catholic Schools Week, The Pancake Man visited Jesuit Academy today for lunch. Only a few pancakes were dropped as staff and students gave their best effort to catch flying pancakes!
Students also enjoyed magician Joe Cole's magic tricks, the 8th grade Mass, and the staff-student volleyball game.

A very big thank you to everyone who was able to join us for the Jesuit Academy Christmas Program yesterday! Please enjoy the following video from the 4th and 5th grade recorder performance.
Merry Christmas!
