St. Mary's Wins Future City CompetitionCongratulations to St. Mary's Future City team for winning the competition on Saturday, January 21 at Mount St. Mary's High School. The students created
Iles de la Paix, which means "Island of Peace" in French. They received a special award for Best Bridge Design. This is the fourth consecutive year St. Mary's has won the competition.
The team was judged on an essay, city narrative, computer simulation, physical model and presentation. All team members participated in special awards judging and were visited at their model by professional engineers from dozens of area companies. The presentation team performed twice yesterday and offered very thorough information on the city, its energy source and other special features. The team will represent the Western New York region at the Future City National Competition in Washington, D.C. next month.
Members of the Future City team are Jeff Britton, Cassandra Girzone, Jesse Hooton, Amanda McNulty, Tom O'Brien, Ben Pohle, Caitlin Quinn, James Roetzer, Sarah Siska, Matt Telford, Doug Urban and Ben Wojick. Advisors are Mr. Wojick and Mr. Riester.

Due to the efforts and devotion of our families, students, staff and administration, St. Mary’s school certainly embodies all three of these attributes.
In celebration of Catholic Schools Week (CSW) we have many fun activities planned. One of the most popular events of the week is "Bring an Adult Guest to Lunch." Click here to sign up: Bring an Adult Guest to Lunch Day 2012

Meet Our New Athletic Coordinators
Rob Ray, John Stockman and
Scott Zak have been appointed athletic coordinators for St. Mary's School. They will oversee a sports program that involves more than 70 percent of the St. Mary's student body. The philosophy of the St. Mary's athletic program is that every student be afforded the opportunity to play and develop his or her skills within a positive Christian environment.
Mr. Ray, Mr. Stockman and Mr. Zak have already started an equipment inventory with a plan to better utilize the school's resources. Another priority is recruiting coordinators and coaches for soccer, track and softball.
"We are looking forward to working with the entire school community and harness everyone's talents to boost our sports program and provide a meaningful experience for our student athletes." John Stockman said.

No experience is necessary - we will guide you. All types of assistance is needed - coaching, assistant coaching, organizing/planning and even "sports reporters" to assist in public relations.
