Principal Notes

Dear Families,

Summer is almost upon us. We can finally feel the warm breezes calling us to fun activities. With the end of the school year comes time for graduation. Next week, we are saying goodbye to our 8th 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, emotionally and intellectually 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 Anglim Family

The Raster Family

The Albrecht/Doll Family

The Schmidt Family

The Giampietro Family

The Steigerwald Family

The Griffin Family

The Walters Family

We give a special shout out to the Steigerwald and Giampietro families. The Steigerwald family has had children at St. Mary’s for 21 years! The Giampietro family has had children at St. Mary’s for 20 years!

Thank you to Julia Romeiser and Krista Linn, who co-chaired our Grandparent's Day celebration. We welcomed about 300 grandparents and special friends. You could just feel the love in the building! It was a spectacular event.

I am happy to let you know that we have contracted with Pizza Ranch to cater our hot lunch program for next year. We are excited to work with one of our own families, Jake and Heather Zappa on this partnership. Many of you have asked for more variety of lunches that include fruit and vegetables being offered. More information will be coming in August.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

Mrs. Mary Tretow
