The Home Stretch
We can see the end is near! We have a lot to look forward to as we enter into the last month: Music concert, graduations, field day, talent show, and other surprises.
In this upcoming month of May, let's remember our mother, Mary. She is our protector, undoer of knots, and biggest supporter! Don't forget to go to her for all your troubles- she listens just like our mothers do. In May and June we celebrate our mothers and fathers. In these special celebrations we can remember to thank all you mothers and fathers for your jobs in educating your children in the faith. You are the first educators of the faith, and we are here to support you and continue that faith formation. We are so appreciative for all you do for your children.
Let's continue that great teamwork as we finish strong this year and into the future.
God's blessings to you all!

One resides in Mrs. Holdcroft's science/math room and the other is in Ms. Harper's 4th grade class. We will install the 3rd one in building 3 this summer!
Book Bowl
St. Matthew Middle Schoolers, for the first time ever, participated in this year’s Book Battle, hosted by St. Vincent de Paul School. Book Battle gives students an opportunity to read 12 different literary works, while refining comprehension skills and learning the importance of teamwork in an academic and competitive setting. Our 8th grade team (Avery Murtaugh, Eli Mabbitt, Hunter Wynne, Brigid McFall) participated in 5 rounds of competition, and our 7th grade team (Gabe Weber, Lexi Martin, Ethan Mabbitt, Arnie Nash, Erin Cassoutt) was successful through 4 rounds. These teams represented St. Matthew very well. They worked hard, competed well and had great attitudes through the whole process.
