Students at SMS receive art instruction twice weekly, can join Art Club starting in grade 4, and have the opportunity to exhibit their work in our annual "Night of the Arts" show that coincides with our Spring Concert. Students are able to explore a variety of media including clay sculpture, painting, drawing, paper crafts, & more. They draw inspiration from important figures in art history, as well as religious art, & learn about how art influences & makes commentary on our world.
Arts education boosts creativity, critical thinking, & problem-solving, while also fostering social-emotional growth, cultural awareness, & academic performance across subjects like math & reading.
If you're looking for a school where your child is encouraged to explore their creative talents, join us at Open House on Sun., Jan. 25th from 10:30 am - 12 pm.

Christmas tree still up? Still nibbling on Christmas cookies? That's okay, because it's still Christmas according to Catholics! Christmas Day is not the finale of the Christmas season, but rather its beginning. We transition from Advent, a season of preparation to one of celebration, which lasts until the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
👑👑👑🌟Today, we celebrated the Epiphany of the Lord, or Three Kings Day by blessing our classroom doors, & celebrating the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus, signifying Christ's revelation to the world. Our 4th grade class put on a beautiful Nativity play before Christmas break that including the visit of the Three Kings to the infant Jesus.
Mrs. D'Angelo also made a visit to each classroom to bless the rooms using the traditional Epiphany home blessing prayer & chalk today. Learn how to "chalk" your own door & bless your house for the Epiphany here: https://ewtnvatican.com/articles/epiphany-house-blessing-2026
