If the Philadelphia Eagles win their weekly game, students are permitted to wear an Eagles (only) shirt or jersey OVER their school uniform to celebrate the win on the first school day after the game.

We have all heard the urban legend of having to walk through 3 feet of snow just to get to school...well our students can say that they braved numerous street closures, a web of repairs to underground municipal utilities, construction & renovation obstacles just to get back to school this September! Rest assured that when they arrive, they are welcomed into a calm & nurturing school environment. Hang in there, folks! Hopefully all of the hub-bub on the streets of Fishtown surrounding our school will settle down soon.

St. Laurentius School had a very special surprise visit from the Phillies Phanatic & Phillies infielder Rhys Hoskins at a school assembly on Monday June 10th!

A beautiful, sunny day, a DJ, field games, the spray-ground, a photo booth, great snacks and lots of hard work by some dedicated parents - all added up to a fantastic Spirit Day for our students. This annual, end-of-year event, caps off the school year with some friendly competition and lots of smiles all around.

In the Spring of 2019, our school was selected to become a pilot in a new Archdiocesan initiative: STREAM - Science, Technology, Religion, Art, Mathematics. STREAM is not a new curriculum but rather new framework for creative instruction - read on...

Thanks to all who participated in our Annual St. LauRUNtius 5K Fundraiser. What a great day for our school community and the neighborhood at large. The great spirit of St. Laurentius School ran (& walked!) through the streets of Fishtown. The event was a great success on many levels, most especially in fellowship & finances!

Please join Mrs. McKnight, the Home & School leadership committee and the Friends of Saint Laurentius School for a Social Meet & Greet.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Saint Laurentius School raffle fundraiser.

St. Laurentius School is excited to share that we’ve been working to set some exciting goals to improve and upgrade our technology! Over the next 5 years, we will embark on a plan to outfit our classrooms with iPads, and completely upgrade our wireless infrastructure. Our goal is to educate faculty and students alike on new learning apps and software.This year, we have been soliciting estimates for vendors and learning platforms, comparing rates and funding options, and working directly with the Technology Committee of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to formulate our school’s goals.
