5th Grade Science State Testing – May 22nd

May 15th, 2025 by Kate Zubrzycki | Posted in State Testing |
Our 5th grade students at Most Holy Rosary Elementary School will be taking the New York State Science Assessment on Thursday, May 22nd. This test is an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned in science throughout the year—from ecosystems and energy to matter, weather, and the scientific method.

We are proud of how hard our students and teachers have worked to prepare. As we approach the testing date, we want to make sure each student feels confident, calm, and ready to shine!

Here are a few simple ways families can support their child the night before the test:
- Get a good night’s sleep: A rested brain is a ready brain! Try to stick to a consistent bedtime routine on Wednesday night.
- Eat a Healthy Breakfast: Fuel up with a breakfast; remember it’s the most important meal of the day. Breakfast will also be served in the morning at school.
- Relax and encourage: A little reassurance goes a long way. Remind your child that they are prepared, and it’s okay to take their time and do their best.
We believe in our students and know they’ll do a great job. Thank you, families, for being such strong partners in your child’s education. Let’s show what Most Holy Rosary students know—go 5th grade!

We are filled with joy as we prepare to celebrate one of the most important milestones in our students’ faith journeys. Our First Holy Communion Mass will occur on Sunday, May 4th at 12:00 PM at Most Holy Rosary Church.

First Communion is a beautiful and sacred moment when our young parishioners receive the Eucharist for the first time, deepening their connection with Christ and the Church. Through months of preparation — learning, praying, and growing in faith — our students are ready to take this important step with hearts full of love and excitement.

We invite our Most Holy Rosary community to keep these students in your prayers as they experience this blessed sacrament. May this day be the beginning of a lifelong relationship with Jesus, rooted in faith, hope, and love.

We look forward to celebrating this special day together with our families, friends, and parish community.

Congratulations to all of our First Communicants!
