RESPECT FOR LIFE



This year we are in the YEAR OF Charity. Our school has monthly virtues that help to develope characteristics from within that aid children in thier day to day interactions with peers and others around them. Every month we will focus on a service and virtue and help the children to integragte these virtues and really WALK WITH JESUS, by putitng these VIRTUES IN PRACTICE IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM. Thank you for your support and interest!

We aim to strengthen our SMCS culture of inclusion and acceptance of all and will continue efforts of kindness on campus each day. Videos, activities, and discussions centered on these efforts will be more prominent in the classrooms on a monthly basis. Your child's homeroom will partner up each month with another homeroom for Virtue Visits and grow bonds thru prayer and real life conversations with each other.

Ask your children what they've been doing to help promote a loving and inclusive culture at St. Mary School.
 
Any questions, ideas or if you want to participate see Mrs. Rice in the K3 room. Feel free to contact me at

Buddy Bench Video

Rachel’s Challenge Ambassadors painted our new Buddy Bench after school today. Our "Buddy Bench" will be placed on the playground where students can sit when they feel alone at recess and need someone to play with...other students will watch the bench and invite everyone to play! Thank you , Mrs. Dierig!!
