Principal Notes March 21, 2019
|

Dear Families,
March Madness is everywhere. People are glued to their devices watching their favorite teams climb their way to the top. During the last two weeks we had our own March Madness while we were competing in the Padre Serra Tournament. I watched our boys play with poise and sportsmanship. The SMV fans cheered them on with passion and pride. Finally, all the hard work that went into this undefeated season was realized when we won the tournament on Sunday afternoon. It felt great to be part of this journey.
Behind every successful team are dedicated coaches. This team had some of the best. Mike Schmainda, Bob Schneider, Alex McBride, and Sean Keenan not only coached them how to play their best with their God given talent, but they showed them how to be young men with integrity. They showed them what being part of a team was all about. Thank you for that. I am sure this will be an experience the boys will carry forever.
To the players on the team,
Will Coleman, Connor Mihm, Garrett Mueller, Mikey Schlifske, Matthew Schmainda, Ben Schneider, Joe Stewart, Nollenn Tabaska and Tommy Wichgers, thank you for letting us be a part of this great experience
. Congratulations, you deserve it!
Mrs. Mary Tretow
Principal

The spirit of March madness has certainly taken over SMV!
The 8th grade boys recently participated and won the Padre Serra basketball tournament and a huge following of SMV students and parents made a fabulous cheering section! They certainly shared the SMV spirit with the basketball community. Thank you for your support.
Also seen on the basketball court, our own Fr. John Gibson. Fr. John participated in the annual seminarian versus priest game, where this year the seminarians edged out the priests for the win. As noted by Fr. John, it's always a great event!
Thank you to our players, students, parents and Fr. John for sharing your SMV spirit and passion with our community!
 
And with that you will find a few things that are Positively SMV!
