Happy Pi Day from Mrs. Whipple's middle school math classes! Students brought in and shared different kinds of pies to celebrate today, on 3/14. Pi or π, is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Since Pi is actually a decimal with no end, and no repeating pattern, it is often approximated with the decimal 3.14. #PiDay #MathIsFun

Mrs. Wojtaszek's 2nd graders have been completing some St. Patrick's Day themed writing work, enjoy a few of their responses here. #StPatricksDay #lucky #leprechauns

Profe Maria's students in grades K, 1, and 2 have been learning the Spanish words for different shapes recently, and did an activity making sweet treats using cookie cutters to create those shapes. It's always more fun to make, eat, and learn at the same time! #LearnSpanish

PRAY 'N PLAY will be held next Fri., 3/15 at 6:30 pm in the school gym. This event has been an annual SMS tradition for decades and we are excited to continue it! PRAY with us as Grade 5 presents a reverent, moving version of the Living Stations of the Cross. Then, we will PLAY! Bring a few dollars for games, ice cream treats, and a chance to throw a pie, or win a cake! All proceeds benefit Catholic Charities.

Since we had such a fun time at the HSA roller skating party this past weekend, we thought we'd feature this clipping from a 1988 "St. Mary's Press" newsletter we found in the archives for our #ThrowbackThursday. Enjoy, and feel free to tag any alumni mentioned! #StMarys175
