Dear SMA Families,


We’re off to an incredible start this school year! Our weekly morning assembly was a big hit, with a fantastic turnout. Students looked sharp in their uniforms, Fr. Chris inspired us all with his uplifting prayer, and our school was well-prepared for our enthusiastic learners. Fr. Ignatius will be thrilled to return from his retreat next week to meet his Spartan family.


We love hearing all the positive feedback from students about their first week. Our teachers have worked hard to create warm and welcoming spaces, making sure everyone feels comfortable. We’re also excited to welcome 30 new families to the academy this year—it's great to have you with us!


Don’t miss our back-to-school pep rally tomorrow at 11:30 am in the courtyard. Afterward, Kona Ice will be in the front parking lot from 12-1 pm for a fundraiser supporting SMA athletics. Treat yourself—prices range from $4 to $7!


If you haven’t yet, be sure to download the St. Martin of Tours Academy app. It’s a handy tool for ordering hot lunch, checking the school calendar, logging volunteer hours, tracking attendance, and much more. It’s easy to use and a great way to stay connected!


I look very forward to seeing you all Wednesday at 4 pm in the Parish Hall. Free childcare is available. If you would like to start earning volunteer hours setting up chairs (100) for this meeting, please contact the office.


Many Blessings,

Mrs. Miller

Principal
