Parents Who Pray
We are excited to announce a new opportunity for our parents! January 9, 2018 will be the first official gathering of Parents Who Pray. This is an opportunity to gather with other parents to pray for our school and our children. Take advantage of our Early Bird drop off for your children and then join us in the Bride's Room of the Holy Family Center at 7:15 a.m. every Tuesday for the remainder of the school year. We hope this new way to start your Tuesday will be a New Year's resolution you will want keep
Mardi Gras Prize Drop Off Party
In case our parents missed it in the mail, you are invited to a prize drop off party on January 17 from 5-8pm for Jambalaya and Cocktails at Fredericksburg Realty. Come and go exclusively for all 2018 Mardi Gras Gala Prize Donors. You can drop off your prize (or cash donation for prizes) at the party, or if you've already delivered your donation, just join us for the fun!

Log your volunteer hours!
We will be updating the Helping Hands Tree in the school office with families who have met the suggested volunteering time of 10 hours per student and 2 additional hours for each additional student. There are still many upcoming events to volunteer for such as Catholic Schools Week, Mardi Gras Gala, Big Give 2018 and Golf Tournament Weekend. If you have questions about this program or need to know what hours your family has already logged, please contact Mignonne at mfrantzen@stmarysmail.com.
St. Mary's 4-H News:
