CATHOLIC SCHOOLS PROVIDE DIVIDENDS FOR LIFE – FAITH, KNOWLEDGE, DISCIPLINE, AND MORALS.  

We have a lot to celebrate at St. Mary’s School.  We have 116 students this year, which is slightly higher than what we ended with last year.  We have a dedicated staff of 9 full time and 3 part time teachers on our staff.  We are able to offer a full curriculum of the core academic courses. We are also able to offer computer classes in grades 1-8 as well as music, physical education, and Spanish to students in grades K-8.  We have a library that continues to grow thanks to the generous support of our parish and school families during our bi-annual book fairs.  We continue to see our students excel academically, which is reflected in our scores on national tests as well as their achievement in the classroom.  Our students go on to the high school where they excel both academically as well as in co-curricular activities.  Many St. Mary’s students go on to take leadership roles because they have been raised to be involved, and they know how to work hard.  

The true beauty of Catholic Schools is in their right to weave these important values…with Faith at the very center…into every aspect of the school day…whether it is in the classroom, lunchroom, basketball court, playground, or wherever else our students are found.  Students are taught the traditional basics…commonly referred to as “the 3 r’s”…while at the same time learning how God is involved in every aspect of every day.  

St. Mary’s families…both school and parish…have a strong tradition of working hard to make the school run.  Parents and parishioners are involved in every aspect of our school including assisting teachers in the classroom, working in the library, assisting in the kitchen, doing playground supervision, working in the Home and School Association, fixing whatever is broken, and tasks that just plain need to be done. That example set by our parents and parish is HUGE in the success of St. Mary’s students.  We can teach the importance of serving others, but students learn best by watching those around them set the example.  We thank you, teachers, staff, parents, and parishioners, for your constant support.

The staff and students at St. Mary’s School are excited to share our school with you.  We welcome your help in celebrating the benefits of a Catholic school education.  We continue to recognize that keeping our school going is a sacrifice for our parish.  We know that times are difficult and we feel so blessed that our parish continues to make the school a priority. We work hard to invest your offerings in a way that will truly pay off with the kinds of dividends that can only come from a Catholic School education.  

Thank you!
