Service to others is an important life lesson we hope to teach all St. Rose students. Service projects each year include campus clean-up days, gifts for Baby Jesus and collections for Mary's Choice.

Our clean-up days include Citizenship Day in the fall during our Character Counts Week and one in the spring for Earth Day.

Students bring spare change to school to fill up our baby bottles in each classroom.  The money collected is given to Mary's Choice Preganancy Resource Center in Sioux City, Iowa.  Mary's Choice is a pro-life resource center that offers help and assistance to many women, babies, and families who have chosen life and may need help having their needs met.

Students also bring gifts for Baby Jesus at Christmas time.  The gifts of clothing, books, toys, etc. are then donated to our own local Baby Boutique in Denison, Iowa where families can go to have their various baby needs met.
