Dear Parents,
Normally, at this time of the year, our SMA grandparents would have received an invitation to the most highly anticipated, most enjoyable, and most exciting day at St. Martin of Tours Academy - Grandparents’ Day! Unfortunately, again this year, we are unable to have adults on campus. We did mail a letter out to all our grandparents telling them how special they are, and how much we appreciate them. The 8:30am Mass on Friday will be offered for all our grandparents, both living and deceased. The student body will be there in spirit!
On Tuesday morning, students and their teachers will be praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary in a "Progressive" rosary format. In honor of Mary, The Blessed Virgin and Mother of the Church, the students will visit 5 different Mary statues throughout the school and parish grounds. They will say a decade of the rosary at each stop, and when they finish, they will have completed one entire rosary. Please have your child bring a rosary to school on Tuesday. (If they forget it, it's ok!)
The Eighth Graders will conclude their SLE presentations next week. This is an end of year project that allows each student to explain to an audience how they have grown in their Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLEs) throughout their time here at the Academy. They have done an amazing job and we are very proud of all of them!
Next school year 2021-22, we will not be offering an online learning platform for our school. If you have a documented medical situation, please contact me personally. We will continue to stand ready and be able to pivot for a quarantine situation, should that arise.
Happy Mother's Day to all of our mothers, step-mothers, grandmothers and anyone who "mothers" children. Remember - Monday is a school holiday. Enjoy your weekend! You are special.
Diane Hartley
