Miss Hope has been working with this group of students once a week since the beginning of March! As a new club, we weren't sure how much interest we would get, but it was a huge hit! They had their final performance this week.

The 3rd grade has spent many Friday afternoons over the course of the school year walking to the Lee Library or driving to the Stockbridge Library! For their last trip to the Lee Library this week, Mrs. Reis treated them to a cookie on their walk back!

We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing community of prayer partners to support our students.

Each year, individuals sign up to be prayer partners to each student at SMS. The pairs pray for each other all year long and occasionally exchange notes and cards. In the spring, we come together for celebratory Mass and breakfast. What a wonderful day!

We celebrated two very special people in our SMS family this past week - Ms. Sutherland and Ms. Bethany, both whom will be tremendously missed. To celebrate their transitions into retirement and a new career, we chose some gifts to fit their passions and unforgettable contributions to St. Mary's!

For Ms. Sutherland, she has a bookshelf in the library dedicated to her and her favorite stories. She has spread a passion for learning to so many our of students!

For Ms. Bethany, we are going to add a new geo dome play structure in her honor to celebrate her passion for working with early childhood kiddos!

Thank you to Mrs. Pinsonneault, Miss O'Brien, and Miss Merriam for helping our second grade first communicants and the first grade students lead St. Mary's in celebrating the Crowning of Mary!

Despite cold temperatures last week, the 8th grade and Mrs. Warner put on an awesome field day!

Thank you to Ms. Valleri and the St. Mary's School Drum and Bugle Corp for representing us so beautifully at today's Memorial Day Parade!

A few times a year, the St. Mary's School PTO, staff, and generous volunteers put on a family dinner for our community. We had our last family dinner of the year on Monday, where families were invited to see their student's current and future classrooms, and check out the amazing things that our students do everyday before enjoying a meal together! We also invited in other community groups; LYA, WSG, and Lee Library to present families with summer offerings.

Thank you to Jenn Dort, of the PTO, Dedi Scheurer, and all of the amazing volunteers (alumni, school board members, and friends of SMS!)
