St. Mary's Alumni Newsletter 

Fall 2017

From the Principal...

We have just begun the 2017-2018 school year and I am happy to say that St. Mary's is still A Great Place to Grow!  We have completed restroom and art room renovations to benefit our school and parish, and we have increased our capacity in our much needed PreKindergarten program.  I am sure that since you have walked our halls many things have changed but one thing, for sure, remains the same.  A St. Mary's Education continues to be rooted in Gospel values guiding our students to grow to be stewards of God's creation.  We are committed to Faith, Knowledge, and Service. 

I hope that you will attend our events here at the school and parish.  The community of St. Mary's is one that cannot be compared and your participation and support are greatly appreciated.

All past, present and future St. Mary’s parents and St. Mary’s alumni (over 21) are invited to come celebrate our community as we kick-off another school year! This is a casual event and we’d love to see you “pop-in”.  7-10 PM on Saturday September 30 in the Parish Hall. Beverages and light snacks will be provided.  There will be a 50-50 raffle with proceeds going to the Kelly Bula Scholarship.  The Event is sponsored by the St. Mary's Alumni Association, School Advisory Board, and Home & School Association.

The golf committee would like to invite you to support the annual golf tournament. It is October 26 at Lake Needwood Golf Course.  There are many ways to get involved and help. From something as simple as joining the committee to sponsorships and yes even grabbing your clubs and joining us for what is always a fun day on the course. Please look over the attached flyer, click on the link for Bidpal (https://bidpal.net/smsgolf2017/) on that flyer and help keep St. Mary's alive and relevant. As a father of a 5th grader myself I have found the school to be a wonderful place for my child to grow and learn as I’m sure you did when you were a student here. But without support for events such as this that would not be possible. That being said I ask of you to be involved and active. To help in whatever way you can so many more generations can enjoy and grow in such a kind and loving environment. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or the main office.
