Our December School Mass will be held on Tuesday, 12/4/18, at 9am in the church. All are welcome to join us. Please remember that no PE uniforms should be worn to Mass.
Please Join Us for a Blue Ribbon Recognition Event - We are happy to share that Archbishop Blair and several other distinguished guests will join us on Thursday, December 6, at 8:45am morning prayer in the Parish Center. After prayer, there will be a brief presentation of our Blue Ribbon plaque and flag. The Archbishop is also expected to pay a brief visit to our classrooms. All are welcome to join us at this event. There will be coffee and baked goods after the presentation for those that are able to stay and socialize.
Lessons & Carols will be held on Monday, 12/17/18, in the church. This beautiful retelling of the Nativity story is a beloved SMS tradition involving all students in Kindergarten- Grade 8. Student attendance is considered mandatory. If your family has a conflict, please contact Mrs. Williamson. There will be a dress rehearsal at 10am and an evening presentation at 7pm. Guests are welcome at either performance and the morning is especially suitable for preschool age siblings since it is much less crowded and easier to see the Nativity story unfold. Students in Grades 1-7 should wear their formal uniform - no sweatshirts or spirit wear. Students in Kindergarten and Grade 8 follow dress guidelines provided by Miss Ciarcia and Mrs. Work. The snow date for Lessons & Carols is Tuesday, 12/18/18.
School will be dismissed early at 12:45pm on Friday, 12/21/18.
There will be NO PreK Enrichment or Aftercare. School is CLOSED from Monday, 12/24/18 through Tuesday, 1/1/19. School reopens for a regular, full day of school on Wednesday, 1/2/19.
