Principal Notes May 24, 2018

Dear Families,
Summer is almost upon us. We can finally feel the warm breezes calling us to fun activities and a hopefully a slower pace of life. With the end of the school year comes time for graduation. Next week we are saying goodbye to our 8
th
graders. The graduates have worked hard for the past ten years. They have been striving to "Encourage One Another and Build Each Other Up". They have grown spiritually, morally, intellectually, emotionally, personally and socially within the community of St. Mary's Parish and School. We send them forth into a larger community with the hope and prayer that they will continue to develop to their full potential as Catholic leaders.
We would like to recognize the families that have their last or only child graduating from St. Mary's. Thank you for all you have done for us these many years.
The Berens Family
The Patch Family
The Demmon Family
The Schmidt Family
The Kaczynski Family

The Larsen Family
The Svastisalee Family
The Laughlin Family
The Winkler Family
The McQuide Family
The Wollersheim Family
The Parey Family
The Zukowski Family
Just a reminder, please make sure after school care and hot lunch balances are paid. We would like to close our books at the end of the school year.
Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
Faithfully,
Mrs. Mary Tretow
Principal
Miss Magnor's class at Miller Park

All library books are due Friday, May 25. Please search your house, car or anyplace else a SMV library book might be hiding.
Parents often ask for direction in assisting their children in finding good books to read during the summer. A favorite is a yearly updated list compiled by the Houston area private school librarians. Follow this link to find lists for all ages.
Lunchroom Supervisor Needed
A big thanks to Theresa Burnette for stepping into the Lunchroom Supervisor position mid-year this year. However, she has decided not to continue in the position, so we are looking for someone to fill the position for next year and beyond. This paid position is approximately 11:00-1:00 each school day. Main duties include entering the purchases in the computer as kids come through the line, checking to make sure they're taking enough pieces of lunch, and keeping order in the lunchroom.
This is a very easy job to share if you only want 2-3 days a week, but ideally we'd like two people trained regardless. Must be comfortable on a computer, and being the authority in the lunchroom. If you'd like to know more, please contact Courtney Falk at cfalk@stmaryeg.org
Tutoring
Please contact Mrs. Fernandes if you want to have your child tutored over the summer. She is booking students now for hour sessions at the Brookfield Library. Email her at
cfernandes@stmaryeg.org
if you are interested in having your child tutored this summer.
Sara Sinense - tutoring services Kindergarten and First Grade levels. Early/Emergent Readers, phonics, reading fluency, grammar, writing, spelling, and Math. Contact info.
ssinense@stmaryeg.org or
sarasinense@yahoo.com.
Mr. Falk is tutoring math this summer at Elm Grove Public Library. He usually tutors for 30 minutes once a week, from grade 5 up through high school math. For more information, please email
mfalk@stmaryeg.org
Summer reading is more convenient when you have your own public library card. Show your library card to Miss Benson anytime during the month of May and receive a special prize. You are never too young for your own library card.
SMV T-Ball
We are pleased to announced that the T-ball sign up is beginning. The season begins Wednesday, June 13th and goes through Wednesday, July 26th. Anyone who is entering grades K3-2nd grade next fall is eligible to sign up and play. You will need to fill out
two forms the first one is the
sign-up form and the second one is the
waiver.
School Supplies for 2018-2019
To make life a little easier for parents, we work with a company called EPI who will package school supplies for your child. Please click on the
link to learn more about the company and how it works. If you are interested in using this company to make to purchase your child's/childrens' school supplies please click
here and our code is STM198
The Makerspace is in need of cardboard tubes and sewing supplies: needles and thread.
Thank you to everyone who has donated items! The students really appreciate it!

Field Day
The school weeks are fading away. Summer is around the corner. But before the kids can yell "school's out" they get to participate in Field Day.
You know the day filled with fun, games, crafts and water balloons that they believe just magically happens.
You know the truth: it's time to volunteer. Yes, we need you to spend a few hours in the sun, working at the bounce house and filling water balloons. We promise it will be fun....for the kids.
We are still in need of more coolers, corn hole bean bag games, ladder games, a volleyball net and a few chaperones and clean up.
Field Day is Monday, June 5. There are many ways you can help. Check out the Sign Up Genius
and remember how much your kids love to see your smiling face helping out at school!!

Meet your two Home and School presidents for next year- Mrs. Katy Conners and Mrs. Kelly Krause! These two moms have graciously stepped up to lead our Home and School Committee for the 2018/2019 school year. Thank you both for your commitment to our school and willingness to share your time and talent!
Home and School is the fundraising arm of our school committees. It spearheads events such as the parish picnic, Spooks and Spoofs, Holiday Treasures, Field Day, the annual auction and much more. There are many ways to get involved with these events- opportunities for working and nonworking parents, grandparents and even recent alumni. Volunteering is a great way to meet other parents and feel connected to our school and community. We would like to offer a HUGE thank you to all those that have volunteered over the past school year to make this school such a wonderful place!
And with that you will find a few things that are
Positively SMV!
