We greatly appreciate everyone’s support in making our 4th Annual Guardian Bash a huge success! Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our Guardian community, we surpassed our goal of raising over $200,000; therefore, securing the full matching gift from Loretto Foundation of an additional $100,000. Great things are happening at SMA!

In conjunction with Knights of Columbus, SMA is seeking volunteer parents to help maintain our 87-acre campus. For the past three years, the Knights have mowed, trimmed, weeded and worked diligently to keep up the appearance of our grounds. They have done all of this as volunteers, providing a significant cost savings to SMA over the years.
We are now asking SMA parents to help the cause by giving a few hours each month to help maintain our beautiful campus. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Joe Murphy at joe.murphy@smacatholic.org or Mick Mithelavage at mixzx@att.net. Thank you!
