LAPS FOR LEARNING-DATE CHANGE!
Because there is a strong educational component to this fundraiser which involves proper writing skills and the actual writing of letters of sponsorship to family and friends, more preparation time is needed for students to complete this task in school. Not only is it a fundraiser, but an educational opportunity for our children as well. A new date will be announced.

It was an opportunity for Mrs. Hender & Mr. Hogan to briefly meet with new parents and discuss expectations of Kindergarten.
Catechism Mass Social: This was held on September 18th to kick-off a new school year for both St. Mary's School and St. Padre Pio CCD families. All the faculty/staff were given a special blessing by Fr. Pete.
Faith, Family, Fun Night Pizza Bingo was great fun for students and their families. There were many winners and plenty of prizes for for all.
New/Mentor Family Social was held on October 14th to welcome new families to our school.
Classroom Halloween Parties: Students had fun enjoying crafts, games and refreshments. The 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students had fun helping their class buddies make their Halloween crafts. The upper grade students then made cards and decorations which were given to residents at Bishop McCarthy- an example of living God's message to "Love One Another". Thank you to all of the parents who donated refreshments, supplies, and their time for the parties!
