St. Christopher School

It's time for our second annual Nashua Diocesan Schools Fall Calendar Raffle! This effort was a tremendous success last year and raised $13,000 for each school (St. Christopher, Infant Jesus, and Nashua Catholic Junior High)!

During September, we will be selling calendar raffle tickets for prizes to be awarded daily during the month of October.  This year, we have some great prizes, including gift cards to favorite restaurants and stores, a Kindle, a Flip video recorder and, of course, cash!

Dear Parents and Friends of Saint Christopher School,

What a privilege it is to welcome you to Saint Christopher School this year.   Whether you and your offspring are joining us for the first time or returning, you begin a grand adventure today!    Excitement and promise are the emotions we, no doubt, share.  You are entrusting your children to us:  we wholeheartedly accept your gifts.  In gratitude, we commit ourselves to your children, our students.  As educators, we strive to cultivate their minds, hearts, bodies, and souls in a God-centered environment.   Humbly, the faculty and I seek our heavenly Father’s guidance and inspiration as we begin the 2010-2011 academic year.  Thank you for joining us.

Last year was exciting as we implemented a handbell and handchime program at St. Chris. Our students (as well as our staff choir!) made wonderful progress and we all look forward to more ringing fun this year.

As we move into our second year, we are happy to announce that our program will now be available to the St. Christopher community, with participation offered to parents who would like to join. This promises to be a really fun opportunity for learning about handbell ringing! Rehearsal days and times are being scheduled and will be announced shortly. If you are interested or have any questions about the program, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Can't wait to see old friends and make new ones...welcome, everyone!

Once again this Fall, we'll start the year off with our annual Scholastic Book Fair to support the library! For the first few weeks of school, the library will be FULL of great books and items that are sure to be a hit with your kids (and even a few things for us adults, too!). Each class will visit the library during the Book Fair and parents are welcome to shop any time that school is in session or during any of the evening Orientation meetings. Additional details and dates are available on our Scholastic Book Fair website which can be found HERE.

P.S. Volunteers are needed to help Mrs. Riley with the event. If you can help, please contact her at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
