Dear St. Mary’s Families,
Last week was so eventful and joy filled! Tuesday, Mr. Peters and our Pre-K through 3rd grade students, as well as our Band and Choir, gifted our school with an awesome Spring Performance. Wednesday, second and eighth grade students led our beautiful May Crowning Mass honoring Mary. Our whole school was treated to a dance performance by our St. Mary ‘s Mexican Dance Group for Cinco de Mayo last Friday. Yesterday, PTO sponsored an End of School Celebration after the evening Mass. It was great to visit and enjoy each other’s company on a beautiful spring evening. Thank you so much to Ellen Tillotson and the PTO members for leading that outstanding event!
