The Preschool Spring Program was held on Tuesday, May 16. All three classes performed together and it was beautiful to hear all their amazing voices sing together. Thank you to Mrs. Stremel for all the hard work you put into our student's spring programs this year.

2023-2024 School Year Announcements
As our 2022-2023 school year is coming to an end, it is a time when we also say goodbye to a few of our teachers who have been a part of our school family. Ms. Hannah Randleman is returning to school to finish her teaching certification while Mrs. Carrie Cavitt has also discerned it is time to leave our St. Mary’s family. We are grateful for the love these two women have poured into our littles and wish them well. Mrs. Lorie Phillips, who so graciously agreed to teach computers this last year, will still be around to substitute, but this coming year computers will be taught by Mrs. Shannon Brower who will also serve as our Title I Teacher due to Mrs. Sally Junkins retiring for her third time. Both Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Junkins have been such a blessing to our students. We are excited about being able to provide a full-time teaching position though so that we will be able to provide more support and assistance for our students by extending Title and Support Services.
