🎅🏼🦌 Our grade 3 enrichment students had a very special meeting with one of Santa's own ELVES! The Chief Engineer from the North Pole Institute for Technology called in to Mrs. Larson's classroom to review the “super secret” Christmas projects the students have been working on. Their task was to create something to help Santa’s sick reindeer deliver presents this year, & they did an amazing job! One group created a hang-glider for the sleigh to help the reindeer stay aloft if tired, while another envisioned a new cargo hold system to improve the sleigh's aerodynamics. Students even had the chance to ask the Chief Engineer some questions about life at the North Pole. Wonderful job all!

🧑‍🍳 Our 4th graders cooked up some fun before Christmas break! The class read the novel "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" by Barbara Robinson, in which the characters bake an applesauce cake. Of course that meant our students had to try out the recipe too!

Additionally, each student submitted a favorite family recipe to be included in a Christmas Recipes Cookbook. Students learned how important math, fractions, & well-written directions are to cooking & baking, as well as a little about unexpected disruption & holiday traditions.

A Thank You from Senior Wishes:

"On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers at Senior Wishes, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to St. Mary School for hosting a dress down day for our 2025 Veteran HERO Box program. Your generous $286 donation helped us honor over 175 Western New York veterans in a meaningful and personal way this year.

Listening to these remarkable men and women share their stories of service always deepens our appreciation for their sacrifices. For many, being recognized through the HERO Box program is a profoundly moving experience sometimes the first time they've ever been formally honored. Veterans are often brought to tears as they read the heartfelt cards and explore the thoughtful items in their boxes. Their branch-specific hats continue to be a favorite, offering a powerful symbol of pride and connection.

Your generosity creates unforgettable moments and allows us to show our gratitude to our local heroes in a truly meaningful way. Thank you for making such a lasting impact. Your support truly matters."
