SHEILA GANUCHEAU - SLIDELL MAGNIFICAT SPEAKER
Our beloved PrK-4 teacher, Sheila Ganucheau, was the speaker at the Slidell Magnificat breakfast this morning. She spoke about “The Ride Of Her Life” on which Our Lord has taken her. She used humor and real life examples from her teaching career to describe her life’s journey and her love for her family, friends, and the Catholic Church. She encouraged her audience to have a childlike spirit in our relationship with Jesus.
Throughout her life, and all of its ups and downs, God has had his hand lovingly on her, showing her His glorious plan for her life.
We are so thankful and grateful that she shared her journey with her sisters and brothers in Christ. We know that God has some more thrills in the “ride of your life” and we hope you will share those with us too. Amen
Everyone praying over Sheila before her talk

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM FATHER ED
August 23, 2019
Dear Parents of St. Margaret Mary School,
My motive at this time is to urge you, move you, motivate you, and pray for you as we share a positive image of our school moving forward with the goal of a Catholic education with academic excellence.
Thank you for being the parents our children need and deserve!
Thank you for supporting our teachers as they endeavor to make learning their priority.
Thank you for supporting Mr. Collins who is working to keep and build the best faculty we could imagine.
You are the parents who can share this positive message that is greater than the pessimistic media talk among a few of our parents. Please be an agent for the good of our school and avoid negative, speculative talk.
We are moving forward for success with all of you praying that you join me to present a positive and supportive front to all who want to make St. Margaret Mary School one of the best Catholic schools in Slidell!
Sincerely,
Father Ed Grice
Pastor

SMM FAIR NEEDS SPONSORS
Parents, the proceeds from our fair dramatically impact our school. So, the more we bring in, the more it helps our students and school. Thank you for your support.
Like a scouting program, girls earn badges for the virtues they have practiced, life skills they have learned. But unlike most scouting organizations, the girls learn and earn their badges through a distinctly Catholic lens. Moms and daughters get to spend a little time in fellowship with other families learning, doing crafts, and having fun!
Little Flowers Girls’ Club® program consists of four years of study: Wreaths I, II, III and IV. Each of the first three Wreaths of study consist of nine virtues each.
St. Luke the Evangelist Church has started its own Little Flowers Girls Club ® and we'd love for you to join them! Some of the organizers have asked that we invite our SMM students to join.
You can register in person or online. If you would prefer to register online, please note that there is an additional $5 credit card service fee for the convenience.
