Weekly Newsletter – February 5, 2025
Dear Parents,
Catholic Schools Week was a great success. Thank you for your support and encouragement. It was a week full of fun events at school and in the greater community. Collectively, across all 7 Catholic schools, we were able to raise $4,080.54. It is amazing what a difference collecting nickels can make.
It is Gala Week at St. Mary’s. Kristen Colter and the PTO are frantically working to put on the social event of the year, The Diamonds and Denim Gala. Thank you to everyone who was able to donate their time, items, and ideas. We are looking forward to a fantastic event.
Gala News – Diamonds and Denim Gala – February 8th –
We have a record attendance for this year’s Gala. It is not too late to donate items. The Wall of Wishes is full of ideas and ways to contribute to the event.
From now until Saturday, it is time to find your diamonds and denim and prepare for a wonderful night celebrating St. Mary’s.
Thank you for all of your support and we are looking forward to seeing everyone on the 8th.
The best way to help St. Mary’s is to continue to encourage your friends and families to take a look at our incredible school.
