ALL SAINTS DAY MASS - NOVEMBER 1ST
Dear Parents,
We would like to invite all of our students in Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade to dress as a favorite saint for our All Saints Day Celebration of the Eucharist on Monday, November 1, 2021. Students in grades Pre K 4, K, 1, 2, 3, 6, & 7 will attend Mass at 8:30am. Students in grades 4 and 5 will attend Mass at 10:15am.
If you choose for your child to participate, which is completely optional, we ask that costumes be very simple. An example is a tunic which can easily be placed over the regular uniform, with perhaps a veil or cowl. We want to be a source of reverence and not distraction. A card identifying the saint should be pinned to the costume or worn as a small placard around the neck.
Costumes may be worn (over the regular uniform) to school that morning. Students in costume will be asked to stand in place and be recognized during Mass. All costumes are removed in the classroom after Mass, so please send a bag for the costume to be carried home.
Thank you for considering this option on a wonderful holy day. It adds great joy to our celebration and reminds us all that the purpose of Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve), is that it is the night before we celebrate the saints! It is a reminder that we are not home yet! We are all aiming for eternal life in heaven.
If you have any questions, please contact me at aenright@saintmm.org.
In Christ,
Amy Enright
Religious Activities Coordinator
This year, St. Margaret Mary School (SMM) will undergo its Cognia accreditation process. An external review team will evaluate SMM on a number of criteria. One such criterion is our commitment to our stakeholders (parents, students, and associated members of the SMM community). Throughout the course of the year, you will be asked to help us in this process by responding to surveys and/or participating in small group discussions.
To learn more about the Cognia accreditation process that SMM will undertake in the spring of 2022 and how you can help, open the pdf below.
