Dear Families,
There are only nine days left until the Souls for Education Walk at Mount Mary University. It is not too late, you can still register. Please stop by school before the walk. We will be serving coffee and donuts starting at 8:30. We have arranged for a bus to come to school and take the first 60 people that would like to ride it. The bus will leave at 9:20. It will leave Mount Mary at 12:00 to take you back to school. When you arrive at Mount Mary that day look for the signs that say Deanery 4. I will be there with a large SMV flag. Please pray for good weather for the day!
Friday, October 20th
from 5:00-8:00 is our annual Spooks and Spoofs celebration. This is a Halloween party for all ages. Come and enjoy the evening with your SMV friends. If you are new to the school, you don't want to miss this. We are still in need of volunteers. We only need an hour or two of your time to make this a wonderful evening for the children.
Everyday I see all the work that is going on behind the scenes here at St. Mary's.There is never a day that parents are not in the school working on the next project. It takes a village to make things happen. You are our ambassadors within and outside the walls of St. Mary's. When we present our school positively it allows us to live our mission and be a strong presence in the community. Thank you for all you do.
And the winner is.................Congratulations to the emoji team who took first place at the SMV Trivia Night this past Saturday. The winning team consisted of Julia and Andy Fishler, Phil and Andrea Stollenwerk, Tina and James Crichton, Matt and Amy Brueck and Chris and Maggie Lewis. A special thank you to Chris and Mary Kay Zukowski. This was their last year chairing this event. Thank you for doing this for the last seven years!!
Blessings,
Mrs. Tretow
Principal
