Congrats to Jackson Sendlak on winning at the 13 year old level in the Knights of Columbus regional free throw competition! He is invited to compete next at the state level. SMS students Quinn Hayden, Francesca Mineo, and Will Kisailus also participated in today's competition.
Students do not need to be Catholic or belong to St. Mary's parish. An opportunity for Middle School through High School teens to grow in faith through games, interactive activities, prayer, food and conversation. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054caba72fa7fd0-breakthrough1#/

Last week we had visiting authors & students dressed up as storybook characters to go along with our Friday theme of "Expanding our World Through Reading" for #SpiritWeek . A curious literary character is shown here with Sister Sheila in this week's #ThrowbackThursday from 1992.
