Our Vex Robotics Club has had its opening session and we are very excited to be fielding 4 teams this year! The Robotics Club is open to students in grades 4-8 and meets regularly after school. Our thanks to Mr. Prausa and Mrs. Raymond for continuing to facilitate this club!
Please join us in congratulating our HOPES (Help Our Parish Elementary Schools) St. John Neumann Award recipients. This year, we have several people who are being recognized for their outstanding efforts on behalf of St. Mary’s School.
· Dr. Jessica Bookland
· Mr. Tim Sullivan
· Mrs. Doreen Mikan
· Mr. Phil Mikan
Whether it has been serving lunch, handling box tops or serving on the School Board, these individuals have helped make St. Mary’s School work. They will be publicly recognized at the annual Archdiocesan HOPES dinner next Tuesday, September 24 at the Aqua Turf. While these individuals are in the spotlight this year, we hope you know that we appreciate the efforts of all our very dedicated volunteers. The time, treasure and talent you so generously share with us helps make our school the warm, productive and inviting community it is.

We will kick off this after school club on Monday, 10/7, for students in grades K-8.

Choice Corner:
We are happy to report that since "What's In Your Wallet?" was
launched at Back to School Knight 20 families have signed up with
GL Scrip and are getting into the groove of using the app.
Check out what one of our new families to GL Scrip has already earned:
In just the past 10 days, this family has stocked up on grocery cards, pharmacy, gas, and some treats (Peachwave) - Remember, ALL places they normally shop, spending no more over their regular budget- They have already earned $30 towards their Choice obligation!
Now, if they had considered participating in Choice just 2 weeks earlier, the furniture purchase they made would have earned them an additional $200!
