Patron Saints

Saints watch over the school community at St. Ambrose.  Each class has a patron saint that the students are encouraged to learn about and call upon during the day.   The saint is chosen by the teacher from a list provided by Sister Christine.  There are also some fun art projects involving the saints, and a Saint Bee that is run like a Spelling Bee.
