Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Another amazing week here at St. Mary’s! While most of the classes were here at school, some of our students made the trek up to McCall to participate in the McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS). it was an incredible experience for everyone had a wonderful time. Here at the school, our students were also hard at work and growing as students and children of God. We are very excited for next week because it is the last week of the 3rd quarter and we will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday! As you all settling in for the weekend, I hope there is lots of time for rest, relaxation, and quality time with family. Please read the entire newsletter because we have some important information and events coming like our 300×300 campaign and the Spring Fling Art Show and Auction. As always, if you have any questions, be sure to reach out to us at the school. Happy Friday and God Bless!
