There will be a Winter Sports Mass on Sunday, January 11th at the 10:00 AM Mass for all of our athletes participating in a sport this season. We will have some pews reserved for the athletes to sit together if they would like. Fr. Adam is asking for regular Sunday dress with their jersey or warmup on top.

Students may dress out of uniform for a $1 donation. To participate, students must follow the designated theme; otherwise, they should attend school in regular uniform.

The Sign Up Genius has been updated for January and February dates. All those who are VIRTUS trained may sign up to help in the lunchroom/recess.

Sign up HERE to volunteer.

Our PTC organization is looking for a few good volunteers! If you'd like to participate, please check out the list of opportunities here. If you have any questions, please contact Lindsay Hosler, PTC President at liznmaher@gmail.com

All students who plan to play a sport at St. Michael School will need a sports physical. Please take all paper work to be signed by a physician and then upload to Final Forms. Physicals must be completed before the athlete will be able to begin practices or play in games with the team.

The SMS Track team in looking for a few adults with track/cross country experience to coach middle/long distance and sprints/relay events. Coaching does require CYO certification and a lanyard. If interested, please email Jenny Haas at jhaas@findlaystmichael.org
