I am excited to announce that beginning next year St. Michaels will offer both AfterCare and Before School Care. The BeforeCare program will be led by Ms. McAuliffe and will allow parents to drop their children off as early as 6:45 AM. Time in BeforeCare and AfterCare will be counted together, and the rate will be $8.50 an hour.

Please remember that this Friday is an 11:30 Dismissal with no AfterCare available. We will also be closed on Monday, May 28th for Memorial Day.

We are still waiting on the Diocese for the Tuition Assistance Awards and will email out the results once we have them. We are hoping to receive them this week or next.

God bless,

St. Michaels Summer Camp
This summer we will be offering a summer camp for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade right here at St. Michaels. The camp will be managed by Silvia Munoz and staffed by some school staff, as well as some new staff members who all will go through the same employee background checks and policies the Diocese of Arlington requires. For more information please see the flyer below.
Last Friday our honored Mary by crowning her Queen of Heaven and Earth. The celebration was led by our 8th grade girls with special help from a representative by each class. Following the crowning we prayed a rosary and recited the Joyous Mysteries.
A huge congratulations to our St. Michaels students who competed in the Diocesan Track Meet this passed week. Next year we will be offering the Girls on the Run track club to increase the chances for students to be active.
Our PreK 3 students had a great time at their pirate party with Mrs. Nary. This auction item is always a fan favorite, and somehow Mrs. Nary keeps the students kind and moral even while pretending to be setting sail on the high seas!
Our 6th grade students workin groups on a Social Studies project. At this point in the year all middle school students have completed the required curriculum, and Mrs. Harmon is stretching their intellect with extra projects. This gives them opportunities to work on leadership, communication, and creativity.
"Communicating means sharing, and sharing demands listening and acceptance. Listening is much more than simply hearing. Hearing is about receiving information, while listening is about communication, and calls for closeness. " - Pope Francis
