Be A Part of St. Viator History

St. Viator Elementary School is proudly celebrating its 110th anniversary.  To mark this milestone, we are creating a 20'x3' mosaic mural which will be installed on the east side of the school.  The theme of the mural is "Educating Generations of Faith" and the imagery used was inspired by drawings from our school children.

All students in grades PreK 3 through 8th are working on the project and will be able to take pride in the finished piece every time they pass by school!   If you are a current or former St. Viator parent or alumni interested in helping with the mural and being a part of St. Viator's 110 year anniversary, please contact Marge Tiritilli in the school office or click here for a schedule of work sessions.

Our Girls Are On The Run!

The St. Viator Girls on the Run & Girls on Track program is in full swing this Spring with 19 girls from grades 3-6 logging miles every week in preparation for the Girls on the Run race on June 1, 2013 at Toyota Park here in Chicago. The goals of the GOTR program are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental and physical development.  This program inspires our girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.  To learn more about this program, you can visit www.girlsontherun.org.

St. Viator Celebrates Earth Day 2013

 In recognition of Earth Day on April 22, the St. Viator Student Council has planned a week of activities to demonstrate the many ways that we can make a difference in protecting our planet.  The school will have an "Earth Hour" where lights and electrical items will be turned off, a workshop on Vermicomposting (the science of using worms to break down organic matter) will be given by one of our teachers and students will participate in a Green Up & Clean Up around the St. Viator campus by planting flowers and cleaning up.    

We all have an opportunity to make an impact on this Earth!
