Thanksgiving Break

School will be closed Thursday 25 and Friday 26 for Thanksgiving Break.

St. Mary’s School would like to acknowledge the St. Mary’s School Trust for once again providing our students with $25,000 in tuition assistance grants. Since its founding in 1994, the Trust has provided over $330,0000 of tuition support to the families of St. Mary’s School. This year’s funding comes through the generosity of the following grants:

The Margaret & Jacob Mesar Memorial Grant

The Steve & Laura Oleksak Memorial Grant

The Reverend William E. Dudack Memorial Grant

The Francine M. Sider Memorial Grant

The gifts help to keep our student body thriving. We appreciate the support the Trust has given us over the years. If you would like to contribute to any of the named scholarships or the Trust’s general fund, you can contact Richard Sider at r.sider@cox.net.
