School News and Events
Environmental Impact Analysis
At St. Mary's, we have started a school wide initiative to reduce and sort recyclable trash during lunch. Although we are still in the beginning steps, we will be learning about how our choices impact the environment and steps we can take to become better stewards of God's creation. During the month of September the lunch garbage weighed 1,205 pounds! The lunchroom is an area where we can see the most change. Please consider using reusable containers when packing your lunch.
Gala Tickets on Sale Now!
Gala tickets are now on sale! The event has sold out the last two years, so please get your tickets as soon as possible.

At the September HSA meeting Mr. McFetridge announced that the Boy Scouts would be participating in the Box of Joy program. Boxes are due back by the end of October. There is a large box labeled with "Boxes of Joy" by the Main Entrance to the school for all completed boxes.
