Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Well, once again, we had an amazing week here at St. Mary’s! We were able to celebrate Mrs. Campanella on Wednesday for Administrative Professionals Day and I had a wonderful 3rd-grade young man stand-in for me as Principal on Thursday. The students also got into their weekly art lessons and created some masterpieces. Here at St. Mary’s, our students are involved in such a diverse set of learning opportunities. We are truly blessed to have such a creative and dedicated group of educators here. The rest of this message has lots of really important information about future dates and events, so please be sure to read it all.
Please be sure to read the whole newsletter. It has lots of important information. Finally, as always, be sure to subscribe to this newsletter to get it directly to your Inbox.
If you want to get an inside peek into life at the school, check the slideshows on my Google Classroom page.

- St. Mary’s Summer Camp:
We are excited to be having a small summer camp opportunity for current K-4th Grade students. Please click HERE to access the flyer and registration form for the Summer Camp in June. We will also be sending a hard copy home with the K-4th Grade students. Please fill out the form and return it with payment to the main office to secure your spot for this summer’s camp. Space is limited so act fast! - St. Mary’s Catholic School Parish Support Application:
St. Mary’s Catholic School has three different tuition rates. In order to appropriately bill families for the upcoming school year, the school has implemented a verification process to show IF a family should be charged less than the base (Highest) tuition rate. Each year families are asked to complete the St. Mary’s Catholic School Parish Support Application if you feel that your tuition should be one of the two lower tuition rates. You can access this application by clicking HERE. When you have completed the application, it must be signed by your parish and turned in to the school by June 4, 2021. PLEASE NOTE: If you do NOT submit a Parish Support Application, your family’s tuition rate will be the base (Highest) tuition rate. To see the tuition rates for the 2021-2022 school year, please click HERE.

Wisdom from Our Young Scholars:
- Wednesday was Administrative Professionals Day and we were celebrating Mandy Campanella and all she does for our school. When asked to describe her, one of our PreK students said, “She is the best thing at our school!” How can you argue with that!
