Dear St. Mary’s Families,
You still have a few days of summer remaining. I hope you make the most of every day.
The office is open this week. We have a plethora of used uniforms. Please come by and check out our inventory before you buy anything. If you need something specific, please head to Educational Outfitters
St. Mary’s is ready for another terrific year. The teachers, staff, and I are ready to gather and plan a remarkable year for our students and families. Trust me when I say, no one is more excited than Cedar. While he received my undivided attention, it was not nearly enough compared to the love and attention he receives each day from the Spartan community.
Our school community will be introducing more than 35 new students to St. Mary’s. We have new students and families in every grade this year. We each get the opportunity to prove that our reputation of being a fun and welcoming community is well deserved. Please join me in reaching out to get to know the new students and families.
As we all prepare for coming back to school next week, a few important things to remember:

Please do not let all the activities cause you too much stress. It is an exciting time to come back together and work to achieve our mission:
St. Mary’s School is to provide a Catholic environment that instills academic excellence while preparing the whole child for life-long personal and spiritual growth, empowering them to become global citizens.
Please be sure to use the St. Mary’s Website, and specifically the Parents Quick Links to find everything you need to know to start school including the supplies list, dress code, lunch sign ups and many other things.
The 2025-26 school year is shaping up to be an exciting and transformative year for St. Mary’s and all of its families and students.
God Bless and Take Care
