Dear Families,
November is here. This month, our focus from our School Learning Expectation is Stewardship. The students quickly defined a steward as someone who takes care of other’s things. St. Mary’s students care for themselves, others, and the world around them. We will continue to talk and reflect on being good stewards at Prayer Square, in the classrooms, and everywhere we go.
My big challenge is : Wherever you go, leave the place better than when you go there.
