Easter Blessing!

The miracle, the wonder of God’s love!
Look for it in sunshine and breezes,
Look for it in flowers, butterflies, new life
Look for it in kindness and compassion,
And in special times with family and friends…
May you have the spirit of Easter
Always in your heart and forever rejoice
in God’s great love for you.

All of us at St. Martin of Tours Academy
Wish you a joyous Easter and Happy Springtime
Walkathon Update!
We have received $6000 as of 3/31 for our 30th annual "Always United" Walkathon 2021. Over half of our families have sent in their donation request letters. We are over a quarter of the way to reaching our goal of $20,000!

A t-shirt has been ordered for every student. If all goes as planned, t-shirts will be distributed to the students who have turned in the 5 letters or a donation has been made in lieu of the letters on Monday, 4/12. Our first walkathon t-shirt day is Tuesday, 4/13. Students may wear their t-shirts with school uniform. Thank you again to our sponsors who covered the costs of the shirts.

Combining the spirit of Easter with STEM activities . . . Second Grade loved building towers with jelly beans and Third Grade built catapults and measured the trajectory of a Peep!

Thank you!
Thank you to 6th, 4th and Kindergarten room parents and parents who contributed to the teacher & staff lunches during conferences. Thank you also to Shannon Knuth who coordinated the menus/lunches to make it special. The staff loved the SMA apple shaped cookies! Everything was appreciated.
