Greeting Presentation of Mary Families,

“A Friend Loves At All Times.” ~ Proverbs 17:17

This is the theme from our Friendzy program this month. It’s very fitting as we celebrated our Mass of Gratitude yesterday at Mass. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for sharing your time, talent, and treasure with us. Each gift is an act of love. Each gift strengthens our community. Each gift helps us provide a quality faith-filled education for our students. Each gift gives us an opportunity to show our youth how to show love through giving.

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show truth by our actions.” ~ 1 John 3:18 

God has blessed Presentation of Mary School in so many ways this past year during this time of uncertainty. The gifts of life, love, laughter, friendship and family. You can see His work daily through the acts of kindness and goodwill by the countless people and organizations who have supported our school this year.

You all have given our students, staff, and their families hope for a better future. Your actions have made us realize how much God truly loves our children. We give thanks to you for allowing God’s light to shine through you to touch the hearts and minds of our students.

Thank you for all you do to support our students, staff, teachers, and school. Your gifts have shown our students how to love at all times through your words and actions, even when we are going through hard times. God’s light and love is present through all of you.

We hope you and your family will join us in celebrating Presentation of Mary’s 75th Anniversary this weekend. Students are encouraged to wear their uniform to Mass.

Let us all continue to pray for each other. Ask God to help us walk this journey together as He does daily with each of us. I hope you all get out and enjoy this beautiful weekend!

Blessings to you and your family,

Sue Lovegreen, principal

P.S. Mini Covid update: We only had two known lab confirmed cases this week. Thanks be to God! Praying we will continue to be healthy.

Children's Mass Tomorrow - Please join us!

We would love all school families to join us at the 9:30am Children's Mass tomorrow morning as part of our 75th anniversary celebration. We would like all students that attend to wear their school uniform (preschoolers can wear their Presentation of Mary Discovery Center t-shirts). Students in grades K-8 will process in at the beginning of Mass along with the staff and present roses to our Young Mary statue. They will then go sit with their families in reserved pews. We ask that you RSVP here so we are able to reserve enough pews on either side of the center aisle for school families so children can easily find you after the entrance procession. Any student that wears their uniform to Mass can find Mrs. Davini in the back of church afterwards to collect an out of uniform pass!

Auction Items Needed - Come on Down!

The Panther Pride Auction & Benefit will be here before we know it! We are collecting items to be used in the auction. Do you have something you'd like to donate? Item ideas are: theme baskets, gift cards to restaurants, hotels, or experiences, cabin rentals, a hosted meal, wine, beer, or spirits, and so much more! Any donated items can be brought to the school or parish office. Questions? Contact Sam Rita.
