Mustang Messenger 3/12/26

Over the past few weeks, we have experienced quite a shift in the weather—one day warm and sunny, the next day cold and brisk. This unpredictability can be a reminder of how quickly circumstances around us can change.

Yet, in the midst of these changes, we are called to remain steady. Scripture reminds us in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” While the world around us may feel uncertain at times, our foundation in Christ remains constant.

At the Academy of St. Matthias, we continue to guide our students to remain grounded in their faith, consistent in their efforts, and committed to doing what is right—even when circumstances change. These are the qualities that help shape not only strong students, but strong individuals of character and faith.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school community.

With gratitude,
Dr. Coretta N. Streat
Principal

Our Lost & Found is currently full of items. If your child is missing a jacket, hat, coat, sweatshirt, sweater, or other personal belongings, please have them stop by the Main Office to check the Lost & Found.

We have quite a few items that need to be claimed. We also encourage families to label all clothing with your child’s name to help us return items more quickly.

We have several exciting events coming up, and we encourage families to mark their calendars and consider volunteering:

• 📚 Literacy Night: Thursday, April 23, 2026

• 🏃‍♂️ St. Matthias Fun Run: Coming in May 2026 (more details to follow)

These events are wonderful opportunities to support our students, engage with our school community, and earn volunteer hours. We look forward to your participation!

Our school day begins with morning prayer and Scripture, allowing students to start their day grounded in faith.

• School begins promptly at 8:00 AM
• Students arriving after 8:05 AM are considered late

Arriving on time ensures students participate in morning prayer and begin the day prepared for learning.

We understand that volunteering during school hours is not always possible. Families may still complete volunteer hours through flexible opportunities.

Volunteer anytime between 1:00–2:30 PM assisting with:

• Wiping tables
• Light cleaning and organizing

Families may earn volunteer hours by donating needed school supplies such as:

• Kleenex
• Paper towels
• Hand sanitizer
• Disinfecting wipes
• Copy paper
• Pencils and classroom supplies

Volunteer credit: $20 donation = 1 volunteer hour

Please submit receipts to the Main Office including parent name, student name, and grade.

Thank you for your continued support of the Academy of St. Matthias the Apostle.

Faith guides our work. Excellence defines it. Service sustains it.
