Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
What a week to be at St. Mary’s! The school has been buzzing with Spring energy and the anticipation of our Spring Fling and Art Show this Sunday. The gym is getting set up and amazing student art and incredible auction items are being set up as we speak. Please be sure to make time to come out this Sunday and make it a family affair. There will be soccer, food, lots of silent auction items, class artwork, and so much more! Bring your family and friends and let’s make this school and parish event a day to remember!
As we move toward the end of the school year, I find myself reflecting on this year. In some ways, time has flown by. In other ways, it feels that this year has been centuries long. In each thought, I have been constantly comforted by the fact that we have the most loving and supportive group of families around. Simply put, the families at St. Mary’s Catholic School are the BEST! Thank you for being a part of our community and continuing on this wild ride of life with us. Things have been so dynamic in our local and world community and our success is due to all of you and your willingness to work together, have serious and respectful conversations and come together for the success of our students and this school. I am truly blessed and humbled to be a part of such a wonderful school.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I hope to see each and every one of you at the Art Show and Spring Fling this Sunday. God Bless you all!

Wisdom from Our Young Scholars:
- One of our 4th Graders was helping with lunches today and I asked her jokingly, “Why are you always out of class and in the main office area?” She responded by saying, “Because I am Mrs. Campanella’s favorite!!!” I just started cracking up! We have such fun students!
