Hurricane Ida Disaster Assistance
Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans is offering assistance with Disaster Case Management to all those in the archdiocesan area impacted by Hurricane Ida. Impacted members of your community may contact Catholic Charities at (985) 605-5841 or https://www.ccano.org/disaster-response-services/. See link to flyer for more in-formation.
I GET A KICK OUT OF PLAYING SOCCER
Please email Coach Gay at gknock@saintmm.org if your child is interested in playing soccer.
There will be a limited number of games since most schools do not have a coed team. AND we need coaches. If you are interested in coaching or assisting with coaching, please contact Coach Matt at marnold@saintmm.org. You'll get a kick out of it.
ANNUAL THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE
Please see the graphic below for homeroom assignments. Thank you for your generosity.
1) We will still have only one lunch option until the food shortage is resolved
2) Students in one grade level will enter on one side and the other grade level will enter on the other side
3) Students will line up in a single file.
4) Students will not stop to pay as meals are still free for the remainder of the year (or until we hear otherwise)
YOU CAN PUT YOUR TUTUS BACK IN STORAGE ...
At least for now! We only had a handful of students turn in Talent Show forms so we are postponing the Talent Show until spring. We will make an announcement about the new date as soon as it has been determines. Than you for your understanding.
JOKES NEEDED FOR KIDS’ CLARION
We all love a good (corny) joke at SMM. We have a joke of the day on WSMM and a joke of the week in the Charger Chronicles. Now our students can have their favorite jokes published in the "Kids' Clarion." Please check this out ...
Kids’ Clarion, the monthly section in the Clarion Herald written for and by students in grades preK through 7 who are enrolled in a Catholic elementary school, Parish School of Religion or Catholic homeschooling program, invites its young readers to send in their favorite jokes for publication consideration. Joke submissions can be emailed to bdonze@clarionherald.org; faxed to (504) 596-3020; or mailed to the Clarion Herald, Attn: Kids’ Clarion, P.O. Box 53247, New Orleans, LA. 70153. To be considered for publication, each joke must include the full name of the child submitting it, his/her grade, and the name of his/her Catholic elementary school or Parish School of Religion. Thanks to the many principals, teachers and parents who have facilitated this request over the past 21 years of Kids’ Clarion. Our “Jokes” section is very popular with adults and children alike, so any help you can give us to keep the good humor going is very much appreciated! – Beth Donze, Kids’ Clarion editor
