Upcoming Events

Don’t be fooled by the mild weather we have been blessed with during this remarkable fall. Colder temperatures are on their way! Please make sure that your children come to school with warm jackets, gloves, and hats. Recess, particularly in the morning, is often chilly and windy.

Sunday Coffee

Sunday Coffee on November 19th will be served by the Murgo and Chillo families.

Thank you!

Did you know?

Did you know about the “I Caught You Being Good Jar” in Mrs. Dolan’s office? Whenever one of our Middle School teachers “catches” a student doing something kind or out of the ordinary, they are given a golden ticket which they deposit in the jar. Every few months we hold a raffle, and a lucky student wins a $25 gift card.

Last call for leftover Halloween candy! Send in your candy this week, as we will be donating the candy we have collected for the troops this weekend.

Save the Date!

We take time on Veteran’s Day to honor and remember those brave individuals who served in the armed forces to keep our country safe. We had a number of families who responded to our Veteran’s Day project which allowed us to create a display celebrating the military personnel and veterans in our community. 

Please spread the word! Often the main reason new families want to learn about our school is because of the positive reviews they receive from our current families. During Thursday morning’s Open House we will open our doors to prospective families with the hope that they will recognize all of the wonderful things that happen here at Saint Mary School. Our Open Houses are effective ways we can showcase our school and allow families to meet our students and faculty and see the classrooms in action.  If the date of the Open House is not convenient for one of your friends, please have them contact Mrs. Dolan for a personal tour.

Plans are in the works by the SMPA to provide some special events for the parents of Saint Mary School.  A Mom’s Night Out has been planned for December, and in January a Cross Fit Fundraiser will be a fun way to start off the new year. The wonderful success of last year’s “From the Field and Vine” beer and wine tasting has brought about the creation of an Irish Pub event on February 10 ^th. It promises to be a social occasion you will not want to miss! (If you would like to be involved in the planning of this event, please attend out next SMPA meeting on Tuesday, December 17 ^th at 7:30 in the Media Center. We would love to have some fresh ideas and helping hands!) Please stay tuned as the SMPA begins to share the details of these events in the Wednesday Announcements.

Mary Beth Connors has already done most of the work to ensure a successful Senior Luncheon, but we still need some volunteers to assist with set-up and serving. We promise that spending a few hours making our very grateful senior friends smile will be time well spent. Click here to volunteer for this event.

Congratulations go out to our music teacher, Mrs. Ann Tomashefsky, who was awarded a grant from the 2017 Corridor Nine Mini Grant for Educators program. The $400 award will allow her to fund a multi-grade piano lab for teaching notation, reading, and playing music. Corridor Nine will be treating the award-winning educators to a breakfast in their honor on Thursday morning at the Courtyard by Marriot in Marlboro.

Using the chromebooks, Grade 7 played a competitive game of Kahoot in Spanish this morning! It was a great way to wake up the brains after a long weekend!
