School of Saint Mary FYI
February 10, 2023
Notes from Mrs. Maricle
1. Seeking Help: I am looking for support/guidance for a couple of projects at school. Please reach out if you can help or have a connection.
- Grants/Donation: We are needing to upgrade our robots for our Lego Education program. I have submitted one STEM grant for one robot but we need two more and the extra building kit which adds to about $1200. Please let me know if you know of a source of revenue to help with the expenses.
- Boom Lift for Indoors: We have a some beautiful archives that I would like to hang in our main hallway. A ladder will not suffice so I am looking for a connection to someone that can bring in equipment to hang the items.
2. Monte Carlo Party: There are still tickets left for the Mary Fair Places to Be Party: Casino Night. Flyer with details attached below.
3. REMINDER: Thursday, February 16th, is an early dismissal day (1pm). After care will be offered. Conferences will be on an as-needed basis. More details were posted in ParentSquare earlier this week.

Important School Reminders/Announcements
Hallow for Families: Message from our Hallow Rep:
This link https://hallow.com/schoolofsaintmaryOKparents22-23 will take parents to a landing page where they can sign up for their free three-month trial of Hallow. They'll need to sign up with an email address. Also note free trials are only good once, so if a parent has had a free trial previously, they would not be able to take advantage of it.
After School/Evening/Weekend Reminder: Please do not allow your children to play in the white corridor while their siblings have basketball practices or games. The noise carries into the church offices and makes it difficult for church staff to work. This is also a problem on the weekends and evenings as our priests do not have a usual work week. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

February's house challenge is giving grace.
After School Opportunities
Felkins Volleyball Academy
This is a great opportunity for some of the younger kids to get interested in volleyball. One of our middle school players has worked with Felkin for three years. Flyer attached below.
