Save the Date for Extravaganza

The annual Extravaganza Gala returns on February 21, 2026, at The Canopy by Hilton in downtown Sioux Falls, and we invite you to be part of it! This incredible event supports all schools within Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools, and its success relies on the generous involvement of our school communities.

One way to participate is by donating to an auction basket. Parent volunteers, Jamie Monnin, Sara Jarding, and Michelle Jarding, will be assembling both an OG Spirit–themed basket and a St. Michael–themed basket. If wishing to donate to the baskets, please use the QR code below. The Silent Auction opens on February 9th.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. We are grateful to partner with you in making this a memorable night for our schools! Tickets to the event can be purchased here.

 

3-6 Lego Club Help Wanted

Our Lego Club is growing! The 3rd–6th grade group is in need of more parent volunteers to help supervise, encourage teamwork, and support our students as they build and create. Your time and help would be greatly appreciated! Please contact the office if interested. The group meets every-other Tuesday from 3:00-4:00.

 

Teachers of Excellence

With the support of the Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota and the extraordinary generosity of an anonymous family, we are again able to recognize excellent teachers in our schools. Use this link to find out information on how to nominate a teacher and/or provide letters of support. The deadline to nominate a teacher is March 13th. We invite you to consider nominating one of our amazing SMI teachers for this recognition!
