St. Mary's Visitation Parish School's Mission Statement

St. Mary's Visitation Catholic Parish School exists to direct children toward God and toward Christian Service to society through Catholic religious formation, academic challenge, and continuous improvement.

Thank You!


Dear Families,


I'm continually impressed by the generosity, or both time and treasure, of our school community. The Auction event encapsulates this community support. What a wonderful evening it was this past Saturday! There are many people to thank, and some of the heavy-lifters in planning for this are listed below. While final numbers have yet to come in, I can say that this year was one of our best to date, in terms of the funds raised.


Once again, on behalf of all the staff here at SMV, thank you!


Have a blessed Spring Break!

Spring Band Concert -- a Rousing Success!

All 36 members of the three SMV Bands participated in their Spring Concert last Thursday night, and what a great night it was! They have learned and grown so much, even since the Christmas concert. The audience was treated to a Beginner Band demonstration of how far they've come in six months, the Middle Band sat with the audience for one song, and the Junior High... well... let's just say that they prepared quite a surprise. Thank you to all who attended, and in case you missed it, please enjoy the video in the link below.  Feel free to share it privately with family and friends, but please do not post it publicly anywhere.  We look forward to performing again on Grandparents' Day!
