Principal's Message
Dear SMG Families and Friends,
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I pray that you all enjoyed a wonderful and restful Spring Break!
In this edition, you will find information about:
- 2019/2020 Registration/Enrollment
- Screen Time and Educational Apps presentation
- SMG Running Club & the Fort Worth Zoo Run Registration
- Date Change for the Keeping Children Safe in Cyberspace Presentation
- Available Teacher Outings
- and Calendar Notes
Also, on Saturday (March 23rd) several SMG students in grade 3-8 will compete in the Private School Interscholastic Association District Meet, which will be held at St. Pius X Catholic School in Dallas. This is the first year that SMG has participated in PSIA, an academic competition team, and our students and their teacher coaches have been working hard the last several weeks preparing for the meet. This year, SMG has 32 students who are competing in one or more of 4 events including Math; Number Sense; Maps, Graphs, and Charts; and Ready Writing. Next year, we hope to grow the team and will compete in other academic events as well. Please keep our participants in your prayers as they compete this weekend. I will be sure to let you know how the outcome of the meet in next week's Trojan Times.
I look forward to seeing your students back bright and early tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and the remainder of Spring Break!
St. Maria Goretti, Pray for Us!
Blessings,
Laura Behee, M.Ed.

Keeping Children Safe in Cyberspace Presentation Date Change!!
An FBI agent from the Cyber Crimes Division will be on campus meeting with our 7th and 8th Grade students during the school day on the day of the presentation. He will be discussing cyber safety, social media apps, and cyber crimes in a age/grade-level appropriate format.
The agent will be giving a more detailed presentation to parents that evening at 6:30PM in the Cafetorium. Because of the graphic nature of the information the agent will be sharing with parents, the evening presentation is for PARENTS/ADULTS ONLY. No Children or Students will be permitted to be in attendance. Please make arrangements for child care if you plan to attend.
Teacher Outings Still Available!!
In addition to the class outings, please see information on the Trojans Cheer Camp below.
Tiny Trojans Cheer Camp
Ms. Meurer and Mrs. Paladini are sponsoring a cheer clinic for grades 1-4 on Saturday, April 27th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Students will be learning a dance and a cheer taught by the SMG cheerleaders. They will perform the routines during the spring pep rally! Included in the day are a t-shirt, a snack, and a great time!
