Hello SMPS Families!


What an incredible week it has been at SMPS! From the very first moment, it has been filled with joy, faith, and gratitude. I want to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for everyone who makes St. Michael Parish School such an extraordinary ministry—our amazing students, dedicated families, incredible teachers and staff, supportive parish staff, and of course, Father Chad and Father John Paul. Being the principal of this school is an incredible blessing, and I am so grateful to serve alongside all of you.


This week has been nothing short of amazing! It began with our 3rd graders hosting Monday Morning Opening and teaching us about perseverance—a virtue we saw so beautifully lived out by Father Jim. From there, we shared a joyful picnic in the gym, met inspiring saints, played bingo, guessed the saint in our special guessing jar, and participated in so many other meaningful and fun activities.


Tomorrow, we will wrap up this wonderful week with our All-School Mass at 9:00 AM. EVERYONE is welcome to join us as we come together in prayer and thanksgiving.


From the bottom of my heart, thank you for entrusting your children to us. It is a privilege to be part of their formation in faith and learning.


Blessings,


Mrs. Dana Lashley

Principal

St. Michael Parish School
