Dear Presentation of Mary Families,
We've made it through two weeks - hooray! It's been wonderful getting back into the swing of a new year and welcoming so many new faces into our community. This is a very busy weekend with our Parish Fall Festival, so I will make my message this week a short one: Please come join the Festival Fun! There are so many great activities taking place and this is a great opportunity for all of us to meet new people and make new friends. So clear your schedule, grab your family and friends, and come on out for some Presentation Community Fun!
Blessings to all of you,
Sue Lovegreen, Principal

A portion of the proceeds from Spirit Wear purchases also come back to our school!
Parish Fall Festival

Meet the Teacher Night
Meet the Teacher Night
Thursday, Sep 21, 2023, 06:00 PM
Join us for Meet the Teacher Night beginning in the church. After a short greeting, update, and introductions from Principal Sue Lovegreen, you may proceed to your child(ren)'s classroom(s) for an informational session about what they will be learning during the year. Teachers in grades K-5 will repeat the same session three times in a row, and teachers in grades 6-8 will present on one grade level in each session as follows:
6:25-6:40, Middle School teachers meet with 8th grade families
6:45-7:00, Middle School teachers meet with 7th grade families
7:05-7:20, Middle School teachers meet with 6th grade families
This should allow families with multiple students to have the opportunity to visit each of their children's classrooms/teachers. Please note this event is for adults only, students do not need to attend.
Panther Classic Golf Fundraiser
Connect with parents, alumni, and friends of Presentation while enjoying an afternoon of fun, games, and golf at the 2023 Panther Classic Golf Fundraiser on Sunday, September 24.
Bring your foursome, or sign up yourself and we'll add you to a team at Oak Marsh Golf Course in Oakdale for an 18-hole scramble golf tournament to benefit our favorite school. Tee times start at 1pm. A boxed lunch and complimentary drink ticket are included with registration.
All paid golfers will receive an 18 hole green fee for future play at Oak Marsh Golf Course.
Don’t miss out on a great afternoon of prizes, games, friends, food, drinks, and golf! The registration price goes up tomorrow so sign up today!
If golf isn't your thing, we also have opportunities for volunteers. This is a great way to get some service hours completed and meet new people.
Lastly, we have partnered with Legendary Golf Apparel, a veteran-owned and Minnesota-based business, to design exclusive polos embroidered with the Presentation of Mary logo. What’s even better is that Legendary will donate a portion of all proceeds made from these sales to Presentation of Mary School!
Panther Volleyball
Come cheer on our Panther Volleyball team at their games! The schedule can be subject to change, so make sure you check the CAA website for any updates.
