Polar Express Day
Kindergarten celebrated a rainy Friday in their pajamas and enjoyed watching the Polar Express along with hot chocolate, candy canes and popcorn.
4th Week of Advent
The fourth Sunday of Advent is all about love. During this fourth week of Advent we reflect on the ultimate gift of love, Jesus Christ. He is the true example of love and He came to teach us to love God and love others.
Service Club Book Drive
Thanks to the generosity of our Saint Mary School community, the Service Club collected, counted and sorted 915 books on Friday!
