Message from the Principal

Welcome to St. Mary School! We are a 3K-8th grade building, bound by our academics, our worship, and our service. Our new website offers just a glimpse of this! We invite you to look around.

We believe St. Mary School is a pretty special place. It starts with our dedication to the Lord - our days begin and end in prayer, and our students find ways to serve Him and others each day. Our staff is warm and friendly, with dedicated teachers who care about the success of every child who enters this building. Moreover, we understand that the education of a child is truly a collaborative process. The role of a parent is significant in a child's education, and communication between school and family is important to us.
Whether you are familiar with our school or not, if you have not been here in awhile, we invite you to reach out for a tour and witness the learning, laughter, and love that is found within our walls.
Mrs. Stacia Kohlstedt, Principal

Scrip

The St. Mary Scrip program gives financial support to our parish and school. Gift cards and E-cards are purchased at discounted prices from businesses with a discount from 1% to 20%. These cards are then sold at face value and the profit is passed on to the parish. The gift cards are then used as cash to make purchases at the businesses.There is nothing to join and you can earn credit toward St. Mary School tuition.

There are many ways to purchase Scrip: Stop by the church foyer after each weekend Mass and buy cards from one of volunteer sellers; weekdays, Scrip can be purchased at the school office, and in the summer, it can be purchased at the parish office. Or shop the convenient way on the “Raise Right” app on your phone for over 750 brands. Contact your Scrip coordinator at scrip@stmarysrc.com to get signed up for the app.
