Everyone is invited and encouraged to help us make this a "Knight to Remember"! You may have already seen an email from your room parent(s) asking for your help as we plan for and get ready for this event. Please consider sending in a monetary donation ($10 suggested) to help us purchase the artificial Christmas trees each class will decorate for the event or send in some Christmas ornaments or tree trimming items that you've purchased. We are requesting these donations by November 4th. We anticipate that our students are going to love decorating a tree with their special theme and appreciate your help making this possible. Checks should be made payable to St. Mary's School with "Light up the Knight" in the memo section. If you've already made your donation - Thank You!

Box of Joy - St. Mary's School is joining with Cross Catholic Outreach to pack "A Box of Joy" for a needy child this holiday season. We are looking for families to volunteer to shop for and pack a shoe box for a less fortunate child in an underdeveloped country. These children will each be given a box to open on Christmas Day. Click here to have a box sent home with your child(ren). If your family participates in this program (regardless of number of boxes), your children may wear PE clothes and Spirit Wear along with nail polish, jewelry and/or crazy socks and headbands on Monday, November 11th.
Choose the sex and age of your gift recipient, shop for small items to fit in a shoe box (toys, school supplies, hard candy, apparel, hygiene, useful items).
For each box, please add $9 in cash or check made out to SMS - please put "Box of Joy" in the memo section, to pay for shipping and immediate living needs in their community (e.g., food, clean water). This is a great family project that may include a handmade card or letter to your gift recipient.
Once you have signed up, we will send your box home with your child so you can start planning. All boxes must be returned to school on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6th. Boxes will be packed up and shipped off within the week.
Thank you so much for considering to join us in sending joy to another child this Christmas.
