Kindergarten through eighth-grade classes at St. Rita School, 8709 Preston Highway, completed “passion projects” during the 2024-2025 school year. Each class chose a topic to research and advocate for within their wider school community.
The following are a few of the “passion projects” completed:
The kindergarten class learned about the Ronald McDonald House of Kentuckiana and donated more than 300 goodie bags, filled with snacks, a drink and a homemade card, to the organization.
The third-grade class learned about animal shelters and hosted a speaker from the KY Humane Society. The class also fundraised $1,000 for the Animal Care Society by selling homemade dog treats and hosting a car wash.
The seventh- and eighth-grade classes learned about access to clean water. The class hosted a guest speaker from the Louisville Water Company, who taught them how to build water filters using common household objects. The class made a video about what they learned.
