Dear SMCS Parents,

I hope you have been enjoying the lovely weather. Thank you for all of your support. It has been wonderful to have parents back on campus for athletic events and for the Back to School Nights. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and support with our COVID protocols.

This weekend the school will have a table in the Narthex after all weekend Masses for the Ministry Fair and to kick off our Annual Fund Drive. All students are invited to attend a weekend Mass in their dress uniform. Students who come to Mass in their dress uniform will receive a free dress pass for Friday, October 1. Please stop by and visit with us at our table this weekend. More information about the Annual Fund Kick-Off and our week of giving is included below. Special thanks to our Annual Fund Chairs, Laura and Kevin Filippone, and the Annual Fund committee for all their hard work and support.

On Wednesday, September 29, we have our SMCS blackout football game at Strake Jesuit at 6pm. We hope to see lots of fans at the game in their SMCS blackout shirts. Special thanks to Coach Grech and the athletic department for organizing this event.

Thank you again for all your support! Have a great weekend!


Blessings, 
Dr. Kathleen Cox

The St. Michael Catholic School's Annual Fund is truly our personal investment in the future. We are passionate about this year's theme Open Wide the Doors for Christ, encouraging us to not be afraid of the power of Christ. He has so much to teach and give if we fully let Him into our lives. It encourages us to not sit back and watch what happens to us, but to physically and spiritually be ready for what is possible.

The Annual Fund keeps our school competitive in resources, a leader in teacher enrichment and flexible enough to pivot as we evolve. An unprecedented 96% of our families participated in the 2020-2021 Annual Fund showing that our community is "all in" for SMCS! Your gifts allowed for updated technology in the classrooms, professional development for teachers and financial aid for families in need and police officers on-campus five days a week, and much more!
We hope you can join us to set our children up to be successful not just this year, but for years to come. We are blessed with an incredibly supportive school community and prayerfully hope that you will consider a gift to the Annual Fund this year.

Many blessings,
Laura & Kevin Filippone
