🪖🎖️ Ten-hut! When it was time for our 4th graders to review a few math topics recently, Mrs. Baker put them through math boot camp! This special training helped prepare them for the NYS tests they're taking this week, as well as for their move to their new "base" at the end of the school year - grade 5!

SMS 8th graders delivered smiles and the gift of play to patients at Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo! This group of dedicated 8th graders chose to create "Jared Boxes" for pediatric patients as their service project for the year.

Service projects are a part of 8th grade religion class at SMS. Mrs. Julie Leong works with the 8th graders to develop the projects, but once a project is chosen it is entirely student led. Students are required to identify a need, make all necessary contacts, clear dates with the school, determine participants, manage volunteers, and tap into many other skills needed for successful project management. Some projects they have developed are school-wide, while others involve just the 8th grade or another class or small group.

The Jared Box Project was started in 2001 by the children of Our Lady of Victory School in State College, Pennsylvania, to honor their classmate and friend, Jared. He was a brave little boy who battled cancer with courage and faith. Since then, more than 1,000,000 Jared Boxes have been delivered to over 500 hospitals across the United States. Boxes filled with the “gift of play” are given to young patients in emergency rooms, hospital rooms, surgical centers and clinics.

"Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” 1 John 3:18

🙏 Today is School Principal's Day, School Lunch Hero Day, and we somehow missed celebrating Administrative Professionals Day in April! Let's offer a prayer today for Mrs. D'Angelo, Mrs. Terrill, Mr. Quinn, and Mrs. Braunscheidel. Without these dedicated individuals, our beautiful Catholic school simply would not be as wonderful!

It's hard to believe our Magnificat Gala was already over a week ago! Students are starting to "cash in" the experiences their families won in our silent & live auctions, and are having so much fun!

Thank you to Josie L.'s family for bidding on & winning Mrs. Wojtaszek's donated experience - "Dine in the classroom with dessert!" Josie & a friend were able to dress down, eat lunch in the 2nd grade classroom, & take home a treat bag. Mrs. Wojtaszek even provided a special dessert! Possibly the best part though was the Macaw stuffy Josie gets to keep at the end of the school year.

⚠️ Action Alert!
The new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit would allow all taxpayers to receive a 100% federal tax credit, up to $1,700, for donations that fund scholarships helping students with tuition, tutoring, and other education costs. If New York opts in, this program would bring millions of dollars in privately funded support to families, while allowing taxpayers to redirect a portion of their federal taxes to help students across the state, including our Catholic school families. Tell Gov. Hochul to opt in!
