🙏 Join us to PRAY... this St. Mary School tradition continues under the direction of Mrs. Katie Bishop with our 5th grade’s reverent presentation of the Living Stations of the Cross at 6:30 pm tomorrow. This is a beautiful time to reflect on our faith, & a truly moving experience. Come prepared for a reverent, prayerful start to the evening that will help focus your heart & mind in this season of Lent.
🍦🎯 Then join us to PLAY... when Stations of the Cross are done, please stay & help us raise money for a good cause during Lent... Catholic Charities! Kids of all ages can enjoy games & activities costing just 50 cents to $1. Ice cream treats will be available for $1-3. Our famous CAKE WALK also happens at this event! The kids will love going home with a
cake (or 2!) that they get to choose after being a winner at the “walk” - it’s a must do! The PIE IN THE FACE activity is also always a hit, come prepared to pie some St. Mary’s staff!

Today is the feast of St. Joseph! Grade 3 went to the church & prayed the Litany of St. Joseph in honor of the feast day, & Mrs. Picone's St. Joseph Faith Family led us in the liturgy at school Mass.
St. Joseph was the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the foster-father of Jesus, & a carpenter. Through his work St. Joseph provided for the Holy Family & shared in the divine plan of salvation. He was a good & patient man. Even though he never speaks in the Bible, St. Joseph was a man of action. He always obeyed God even though he did not always understand. Through his love & care for Jesus & Mary, St. Joseph showed his love for God.
Feast Day: March 19
Symbol: Carpenter’s Tools

🍀🌈🪄 Oh no… a Leprechaun got into our Montessori Pre-K class today! He caused all sorts of mischief - crossing out the journal prompt for the day, hiding work lists, and leaving green footprints everywhere!
Thankfully he didn’t just make trouble—he left behind some surprises too! Students were excited to find treats waiting for them in their leprechaun traps, shiny gold coins hidden all around the room, and even some yummy marshmallows to enjoy. Happy St Patrick’s Day!
