Hello Kristen,:

The doorbell was ringing throughout the day today with parents dropping off paperwork. Photo finishing is still alive and well at SMA! Thank you for completing the registration process during this month of March. Beginning Tuesday, we will begin to accept new students. If you have not yet registered, please do so as soon as possible. If you do not plan on returning (sad to say), please notify us in writing so that we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Now that we have the registrations in, we sent home the calendar raffle! This is our second and last fundraiser of the year. We’re hoping you’ll take advantage of the holiday weekend and sell some calendars, or maybe offer them as Easter gifts…

Finally, we celebrated the beginning of Holy Week with a beautiful presentation of the Living Stations of the Cross by our eighth grade students. Their reverent portrayal of Jesus’ walk to Calvary set the tone as we begin the Easter Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. Our students have been learning about these holiest of days in our Church. Please be sure to attend an Easter service this weekend so that we can help them deepen their faith experience.

Happy Easter!

Peace and God's blessings,

Ann E. Dougal

Principal

Students in 1st and 2nd grade had the opportunity to watch the Magic School Bus Lost in Space performance at Symphony Hall. Smiles were had by all!

On Wednesday, our 8th grade students showed us Jesus' journey to Calvary in an unforgettable rendition of Living Stations of the Cross. At the beginning of the journey we were reminded:

Loving Jesus, you are at the center of all we do here.  You are first and foremost in our hearts, minds, and souls.  What you did for us, out of love, is almost impossible to understand.  But we cannot thank you enough.  You are the greatest gift we have ever and will ever receive.

Jesus, we believe that you carried Your cross to Calvary.   And it was there that you died for our sins.   Our sins.  You did not have to do this, but your love for us is great and extends far beyond human understanding.  

Through the way you lived Your life, you have shown us what it means to be good.  What it means to be holy.  What it means to be the embodiment of love.   As we begin this Way of the Cross with You today, we want everyone gathered here to understand what happened on that Good Friday so long ago, the magnitude of it.  We know that you are present with us now and we have faith that you will be with us in every step of our journey through life.
