Note from the Principal
It's High School Placement Test week! If you see an 8th grader, don't forget to tell them that we are all praying for them as they take this important step in their high school application process.
Next Wednesday is Grandparents Day and an internal open house. Parents, family members, and friends are welcome to sit in their child's class from 9:00am to 10:00am to observe the wonderful learning that takes place each day here at St. Mary of the Assumption. Feel free to also visit the next grade to start becoming familiar with the expectations for the next school year. At 10:10am, we will honor our Grandparents with a special Mass followed by short performances in grades Pre-K-3rd. School will end at 12:30pm that day and there is NO AFTERCARE. We hope to see all of you there!
Have a wonderful week!

Christmas Program on December 9th!
Dear St. Mary’s School Families,
Our school’s annual Christmas Program will be held on Monday, December 9th at 6:30 PM in the gymnasium. All are invited to attend! Students are asked to arrive by 6:15 PM, dressed in “Sunday Best” for their performance. They will sit with their class on the gym bleachers until it is their time to get on to the stage. Once their class’s performance is over, they will come off of the stage to sit with their class on the bleachers.
Our school’s band will perform first, promptly at 6:30 PM, followed by each grade’s performance in the order of Pre K to 8th Grade. The evening will conclude with a Nativity presentation narrated by 7th Grade, which should finish no later than 8:15 PM. We ask that you please stay for the entirety of the program, as a courtesy to other families and in the spirit of traditional audience etiquette.
Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Have a blessed holiday season!
Sincerely,
Mr. Ben Hardwick
St. Mary’s Music Director
