SALUTING THE CLASS OF 2023 | |
We are incredibly proud of our Saint Mary Class of 2023! Our school community will be reading about these inspiring young scholars over the next few weeks in our 8th Grade Spotlight section of the newsletter. Congratulations to our Saints as they move on to high school. | |

2nd graders had a very special evening this week, as they made their First Penance at Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament Shrine at St. Mary's. God bless them and their wonderful parents, who are doing an amazing job raising their children in our Catholic faith. Mary, Mother of God...pray for us. | |
COMING SOON: A NEW LIBRARY | |
Last year, Saint Mary School entered into a three-year renewal plan to transition to a Catholic Classical Liberal Arts philosophy. This Catholic intellectual tradition has been the gold standard of education for centuries, creating some of the finest minds our world has known. God is at the very heart of everything our students learn. We are pleased to announce the establishment of the Saint John Paul II Classical Library opening at Saint Mary School in September 2023. Every book will be carefully chosen to include timeless children's classics and modern literature. The library's shelves will be filled with exciting books based on Catholic virtues and morals that teach as well as entertain.
With a contribution to the Saint John Paul II Classical Library you can help construct, furnish, and maintain the library. Any donation, large or small, would be greatly appreciated. With your $40 donation to our book collection, we will select a book and inscribe in honor of your loved one (living or deceased). With Mother’s Day around the corner, this would be a great way to honor our moms! Make your donations here: https://stmaryes.org/classicallibrary

Scrip is now RaiseRight. Below are a few videos that explain how the program works and how Saint Mary School benefits. There's no selling, no extra time, and no extra money. Just purchase gift cards to pay for everyday (and not-so-everyday) expenses. The Amazon Smile program has been discontinued for all companies. Scrip is another great way to donate to the school.
