Dear Families,
St. Mary’s is focusing on the School Learning Expectation of 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.
The big challenge is : Wherever you go, leave the place better than when you go there.
