A Message From The Principal

Dear St. Michael-St. Gabriel Families and Friends, 


Next week we celebrate Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! This is a wonderful time for us to celebrate the hard work our staff has done this year. If you or your child have a moment to drop a line of appreciation to your child’s teacher or a staff member or two next week, I know this will go a long way to brighten their day!


On Monday, May 4th, we welcome Marian University’s Theatre Department to present “Epikos - A Story of Greek Heroes!” to our students in PreK-Grade 2.  Marian has been coming to our school with their traveling plays for a number of years, and we are happy to welcome them back again this year. 


Next week, all students in Grade K-8 will be taking their last NWEA exams for this school year. As we continue to measure our students’ academic performance, we want to see how much they have grown since last semester. 


On Wednesday, May 6th, our second grade class will lead us in our May Crowning celebration, as our eighth grade students crown our Blessed Mother. This is the last All School Liturgy with our eighth grade students, and so we will take their graduation photo after Mass that morning. May Crowning will begin promptly at 8:15 in St. Michael Church. 


Final exam cards will be issued to our junior high students beginning next week. We will begin by distributing exam cards to Grade 8 on Monday, May 4th, and to Grades 6 and 7 on May 11th. Students will only receive a card if their financial accounts are up-to-date. This is especially important for our Grade 8 students who only have a few weeks left with us. If you have any questions about these accounts, please reach out to Mrs. Areal with your questions.


It is important that our students be prepared for these final exams, so we have provided each student with a copy of their exam study tables and exam schedule. These can also be found below in our newsletter. 


With less than one month of school left, we still have a number of things to finish, so let’s finish strong!


God Bless,

Mrs. Ramos

Queridos Padres y Amigos de San Miguel-San Gabriel, 


!La próxima semana celebraremos la Semana de Apreciación a los Maestros y al Personal! Es un momento maravilloso para celebrar el arduo trabajo que nuestro personal ha realizado este año. Sería un buen momento para su hijo o usted para escribirle unas palabras de agradecimiento al maestro/a de su hijo/a o a uno o dos miembros del personal la próxima semana, ¡Estoy segura que este detalle les alegrará mucho el día!


El lunes 4 de mayo, daremos la bienvenida al Departamento de Teatro de la Universidad Marian para presentar “Epikos - A Story of Greek Heroes!”  a nuestros estudiantes de los Grados PreK hasta 2do. La Universidad de Marian ha estado visitando nuestra escuela con sus obras itinerantes durante varios años, y nos complace darles la bienvenida nuevamente este año. 


La próxima semana, todos los estudiantes de los Grados de K a 8vo presentarán sus exámenes de NWEA de este año escolar. A medida que continuamos evaluando el desempeño académico de nuestros estudiantes, queremos observar cuánto han progresado desde el semestre anterior. 


El miércoles 6 de mayo, nuestra clase de segundo grado nos guiará la celebración de la Coronación de Mayo, donde nuestros alumnos de octavo grado coronan a la Santisima Madre. Esta sera la ultima Liturgia Escolar en conjunto con nuestros estudiantes de octavo grado;  por lo que les tomaremos la foto de graduación después de Misa de esa mañana. La Coronación de Mayo comenzará puntualmente a las 8:15 en la Iglesia San Miguel. 


A partir de la próxima semana, se entregarán las tarjetas de exámenes finales a nuestros alumnos de secundaria. Comenzaremos distribuyendo las tarjetas a los de 8vo Grado el lunes 4 de mayo  y a los estudiantes de los Grados 6-7 el día 11 de mayo. Los alumnos sólo recibirán su tarjeta si sus cuentas financieras están al corriente. Esto es especialmente importante para nuestros alumnos de 8vo Grado, a quienes solo les quedan unas semanas con nosotros. Si tienen alguna pregunta sobre estas cuentas, por favor, comuníquese con la Sra. Areal.


Es fundamental que nuestros estudiantes estén bien preparados para estos exámenes finales; por ellos, hemos entregado a cada uno una copia de las mesas de estudio y del calendario de exámenes. Esta información también se encuentra disponible a continuación, en nuestro boletín informativo. 


Con menos de un mes de clases, todavía tenemos varias cosas por terminar, así que ¡terminemos con fuerzas!


Dios los bendiga,

La Sra. Ramos

Prayer for Students

Lord our God,
in your wisdom and love
you surround us with the mysteries of the universe.
Send your Spirit upon these students
and fill them with your wisdom and blessings.
Grant that they may
devote themselves to their studies
and draw ever closer to you,
the source of all knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R/. Amen.

8th Grade Trash Bag Sales

It’s that time of year when we know many of you are beginning to bag up your leaves and clean out your gardens. If you are interested in purchasing trash bags from the school office, we are selling rolls for $11 a piece. All proceeds go to fund the eighth grade class trip. An initial order form was sent home with all students this week, if you are interested in purchasing any.  We do sell these bags throughout the year as well, so you may consider purchasing some in the spring as well.
Box Tops for Education

In case you haven’t heard, the collection of Box Tops is now moving away from the traditional clipping of Box Tops to now scanning your receipt! The new and improved Box Tops mobile app uses technology to scan your store receipt to find participating products and then instantly adds the Box Tops to our school’s earnings online. Simply go to your app store and download the Box Tops for Education app. Then choose St. Michael School (3352 West 30th Street, Indianapolis). It’s easy and saves you time! For more information, click here.
