Wildcat News!

As part of our Homecoming Week Celebrations (October 6th to October 11th), the FSA, Athletics, and school are throwing a QM Parade and Tailgate Party to celebrate our Falls Sports: Football, Cheerleading, Soccer & Girls Basketball.


The day will begin with teams and families being invited to decorate their trucks and cars for our Parade through Mount Greenwood and Evergreen Park. Coffee and donuts will be provided in the St. Louis Parking Lot at 8:30 on Sunday, October 6th. Teams and families are encouraged to decorate their cars and trucks for the parade with window paints, balloons, and streamers (navy blue, light blue and white).

At 10:30am, all families are welcome to join us for a special family Mass. This is our Mass of Enrollment for the Holy Sacraments of Communion and Confirmation for our 2nd and 8th Grade.


After Mass, decorated cars and trucks will line up for the neighborhood parade. We leave the St Louis Parking Lot at Noon and return back for the tailgate. A traditional tailgate and celebration will be held in the lot immediately after the Parade. Families should bring their own lawn chairs, snacks, coolers, drinks, bean bags, food, etc.

Nicky V’s food truck will be available for families to purchase food. The FSA will also have Happy Jacks available for snow cones, cotton candy and airbrushed tattoos.


The Bears game will be shown with a projector and pop up screen as well.


We look forward to a great QM family celebration!

October Special Lunches

Special lunches will be held twice a month on Tuesdays. Students are welcome to continue to bring their lunch or purchase the lunch through this Google Form. Please submit a form for each student, not per family.


Parents may place their order via the Google document and pay cash or check to the Main Office by Thursday, October 3rd. No orders will be accepted after Thursday, October 3rd for this month.


On October 15th, we will serve hot dogs, chips, drink, and dessert. 


On October 22nd, we will serve HRI pizza, chips, drink, and dessert.

School Advisory Board

The School Advisory Board was established last year to act as a liaison between the school’s administration (our principal and pastor), our current school families, and the broader parish and local communities.


This year we would like to add two additional members to our current five members to allow for future overlapping terms. Two additional members will be added next year as well for a total of nine members. Each is selected by the pastor and principal with input and/or nominations from the school community. 


If you would like to nominate a school parent or parishioner for the SAB, please send an email to Mr. Davidson with a letter of recommendation. The letter of recommendation should explain why your nominee would be a great board member who will help promote and advance the Catholic mission of Queen of Martyrs School. Please visit the School Advisory Board website for additional information.
