Grade 2 enjoyed a field trip to our very own St. Mary's church this week in Religion class with Mrs. Bishop! They learned about the baptismal font, holy water, and many other beautiful parts of the church that we use at Mass and for the Sacraments.

It's not too early to start thinking about Pre-K or Kindergarten for next year! Did you know that parents generally start looking for preschools & kindergartens around 6 to 12 months before enrollment? Starting the search process early is beneficial to allow ample time for research, visiting schools, applying & potentially getting on wait lists, especially in high-demand areas.

Mrs. Wojtaszek's 2nd graders shared their Paper Bag Autobiographies last week in order to learn about each other! Each student brought in 5 things that best described their interests or family in their paper bag, then shared these items & why they were important to them with the class. What interesting students we have!

Our students were “sorted” into their 2025-2026 Faith Families today! Faith Families are the house system at SMS, comprised of groups of students represented by a saint & led by one of our teachers. These mixed-grade-level groups sit together at Mass, take turns leading the liturgy, & work together for special projects & events like Catholic Schools Week, Spirit Week & the HSA Picnic.
