Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The good Lord has treated us to an amazing week here at St. Mary’s! Not only have our days been filled with sun and warmth, but our students seem to be reflecting that bright and sunny demeanor to those around them. the smiles, laughing, and positivity are permeating our school and we are blessed to be together in such a loving learning environment. It was so wonderful to see our 5th Grade students do an amazing job putting on the School Mass and seeing our big kids sit with their Buddies and participate in the Holy Mass. It was also so fun to talk to our PreK students who are currently writing a song called, “A Pirate’s Life”. I have a feeling we will be treated to a new original song in the near future. I pray that our Heavenly Father continues to bless and protect you all and keep you close to His Sacred Heart. Have a sunny and restful weekend, and we will see you at Prayer Square!

Wisdom from Our Young Scholars:
- When I asked a Kindergarten student who loved him, he said, “God loves me!” I am so happy that our students know and are reminded of God’s love each and every day!
