Welcome

BEN CALF ROBE - ST. CLARE

Elementary Junior High Catholic School

Belonging, Caring, Respect

The School Motto is

"We need wisdom, work and respect"

Which was coined by Ben Calf Robe.

The school has two names sakes , Ben Calf Robe and St. Clare of Assisi.  This dual name reflects the dual nature of the school itself.  Combining our natural heritage and teaching as an FNMI* school and combining it with the Catholic traditions that compliment each other so well.

 Ben Calf Robe - a Native elder who worked very hard to bring education to his people. He spent his life trying to make sure his people had access to and the right to, be educated.

St. Clare of Assisi - Although Clare came from a wealthy family she swore a vow of poverty after hearing a young man named Francis speak.  Clare soon became St. Francis' council and devoted herself to Christ by helping those in need.  The tradition that was also taken up with her younger sister St. Agnes.

Nothing More Beautiful Heavenly Father, we come before you in praise and thanksgiving for you have called us to be your own. You sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy. Through them we come to know the Beauty that is You. Draw us to a new encounter with Jesus, your Son. Deepen our love for His Church. Help us to embrace anew the beauty of our faith in all of its richness. Empower us to see there is nothing more beautiful than our relationship with You, so that we may reflect to others your image, in which we have been created. We pray that, rooted and grounded in your love, and through the healing power of the Cross of your Son, we may be strengthened for mission by your Holy Spirit. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
