Principal's Weekly Update
September 5th, 2025
A Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
What a wonderful and joy-filled first week of school it has been! From Meet and Greet, to orientation, to the first day of classes, the energy and excitement our students and faculty have brought into St. Mary’s, reminds us daily of the gift it is to be part of such a vibrant, faith-filled community.
I am excited to share a few upcoming opportunities for you to connect with our school:
- Parent Volunteer Council Meeting – Wednesday, September 10th at 8:00 a.m. in the school cafeteria. We welcome all parents to join us as we kick off another year of collaboration, community, and service.
- Back to School Curriculum Night – Tuesday, September 23rd at 5:00 p.m. We look forward to welcoming you into the classrooms to meet teachers, learn more about the year ahead, and see how your child will grow academically
- Coffee with the Principal – Tuesday, September 30th at 8:00 a.m. in the school cafeteria. This will be an informal gathering where we can share ideas, get to know one another, and enjoy some coffee and refreshments.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and community together. See you on Monday for our First Parking Lot Prayers at 8 a.m.!
Have a restful weekend.
