Dear Parents,
I love walking through the halls of SMS and seeing the student’s work. I wanted to share one of my favorites with you. After reading 10 Beautiful Things, the second grade took a walk around campus to find the many varied, unusual, beautiful things God has created. They wrote their ideas first and then encouraged others to add to the list. It has been fun watching students participate and reading all the beautiful things we have here. God is good! We are blessed!
Enjoy the evening, and count the blessings God has given you!
Jen Reker-Murphy

A very gracious Thank You to our school families, faculty, grandparents, past parents, alums, and friends that remember the St. Mary School Annual Fund in their charitable giving.
The 2022-23 Annual Fund supports the school operating budget (helps to keep the lights on!), continues the work of replacing the school building windows, and will support social and emotional programs for students.
Thank you to the following school families who have given a gift this past week to the 2022-2023 Annual Fund: Chickering, Guy
We will periodically recognize school family gifts to date. The AF runs July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023. You'll be able to learn more here. You can also monitor our AF progress from the icon below!

Parenting Reflection - April 26, 2023
Respect Life - The Church prayerfully celebrates our firm belief that all human life is sacred. Pope John Paul II's Encyclical, "The Gospel of Life," was written to reaffirm the value and inviolability of every human life and to appeal to all people to respect, protect, love, and serve every human being. He reminds us: The family proclaims life when parents teach children to communicate openly, to value life, and to fulfill their God-given mission. The family celebrates life through prayer, thanking God for the gift of life and each other. The family serves life by promoting the welfare and well-being of its members and the members of the greater "family of life." Let us make this journey as families; let us keep walking together. --Pope John Paul II
