Today, June 9, 2023, our 8th graders celebrated their 8th Grade Graduation Mass. This is the first in a series of activities that will be held to celebrate our graduates. This special Mass helps students reflect on their many blessings - one of them being the gift of a Catholic education. This is the last school Mass our 8th graders will participate in; truly a bittersweet moment.
Join us tomorrow, Saturday, June 10th, for our PTO Saint Mary Family Olympics Day! The event will start at 4 pm on the blacktop. We will have exercises, games, raffles, and our Snack Shack will be open for business. We hope to see you there!

Today, May 26, our school community celebrated Mary with a May Crowning that recognizes that Our Lady is both Queen and Mother to all the faithful. Students attended a special Mass, presented flowers to Mary, and praised Her through song and prayer. It was a beautiful presentation of love and faith.
This week we celebrated Spirit Week. Class buddies got together to celebrate Mary, the mother of Christ and our patron Saint. Pictured here are some of our 1st and 7th graders. Our older students serve as buddies to our younger students during Masses and special activities.

It's wonderful to watch our students grow in their faith and be part of our Catholic traditions. Today students participated in an Ash Wednesday Mass and received ashes which symbolize the dust from which God made us and mark the beginning of Lent. "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Ash Wednesday Reminder: Students may wear their regular uniform on Ash Wednesday (2/22) as we will be live-streaming mass from our classrooms. NO PE uniforms on that day as there will be no PE classes on Ash Wednesday. Remember, we have 11:00 am dismissal that day. Daycare will be open until 6:00 pm. The cafeteria will be closed so students staying in daycare should bring their own lunch. Thank you for your cooperation.
Happy Valentine's Day! Our students are spreading joy and love with their beautiful smiles and Valentine's day cards. As always, there are lots of learning and fun activities happening as well.
Tomorrow is the last day of our Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you for instilling a love of reading and helping Saint Mary School!
February 2nd is Groundhog Day. Did the groundhog see its shadow? It sure did! That means 6 more weeks of winter according to our Kindergartners who learned about this tradition today.
Today, students brought their favorite book and movie characters to life! Character day was a fun way to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Thank you to all our students and staff who have shown their school spirit.
We all love to read and students are enjoying all the book options available at this year's Scholastic Book Fair. Their excitement as they review books is wonderful to see! The book fair will be available until Friday, February 3. Come take a look and support your child's love of reading.
