School Board Meets Tonight - Wednesday, 9/19/18, at 7pm in the lower church. All are welcome.
Important Safety Request - So far our drop off and pick up procedures have gone extremely well and, with safety as our primary goal, we have managed to do things in a timely fashion. Now that we are a few weeks into the year, we have run into a couple of issues that really need attention.
#1 When waiting to enter the parking lot for afternoon pickup please, please do not park two or three across the opening. We must maintain a lane for people to enter or exit in case of emergency. It never mattered before because we did not use the north entrance for anything during the day, now we do.
#2 Please consider arriving at school close to or just after the 3:20 dismissal. Traffic backing up on Hopmeadow is not safe and when the line begins at 2:30 we are just asking for an accident or for police intervention.
Thank you so much for your attention to these matters.
Our October school Mass will be held on Tuesday, 10/2, at 9am in church.

HOPES Dinner - Congratulations to Mrs. Mutarelli & Mrs. Belo - Each year, the HOPES Dinner recognizes the extraordinary volunteers who support our students, teachers and faculty in making Catholic schools exceptional institutions for learning academics and the Gospel. Please join us in congratulating this year's SMS recipients of the St. John Neumann Award - Mrs. Rose Marie Belo and Mrs. Sarah Mutarelli. Mrs. Belo has served as our school's Advancement Chair for the past 2 years and has been instrumental in the success of important events like our 60th Anniversary Gala and last year's Cinco de Mayo celebration along with our recent "Back to School Knight" and other advancement activities. Mrs. Mutarelli has been an active volunteer in our community since her children began school here. She has been a loyal hot lunch volunteer and an active member of our Advancement Committee. Currently, Mrs. Mutarelli also serves as the chairperson of our School Board. This year's HOPES dinner will be held on Tuesday, September 25th at the Aquaturf in Southington. There is still one seat available at the SMS table. Please contact Mrs. Williamson if you interested in attending. |
