Dear Families:
Almost February and that means our 100th Day of School is upon us. Right now it’s February 15th. That’s if we have no cancellations – fingers crossed.
I experienced the thrill of riding the bus to McIntyre on Friday with the K-2 crowd. Such fun and a well-oiled machine. Thank you to the many parent volunteers who are making Ski Club happen every Friday. Not easy getting all these students ready for the “slopes”
This week is Catholic Schools week and we are celebrating our students while giving back to our community. As you know, we are collecting children’s and adults’ clean and gently worn coats for “Families in Transition”- Friday they will be picked up by FIT.
The daily schedule for our “activities” is on our website under Parents and Events Calendar. Just click on a date and the activity is described. www.mtstmaryacademy.com
Looking for Favorite Sports tops tomorrow. I better see some Red Sox!!! (or Celtics).
Various classes will be creating Valentines for the local Nursing Home and tomorrow we will have a special service with Mrs. True at Mount Monday. Our Catholic identity is very important to us. But more importantly, we model for our students, kindness, respect and responsibility. If they learn that from our daily interactions with them, we have accomplished a great deal.
The Summer Camp program rates are on our website. The 8-week camp will allow teachers a bit of a break before we begin June 26 and end August 18 and it’s for entering students in PreSchool through Grade 4. We are looking at expanding our options so that students enjoy several field trips, movies and other off-campus activities that are age appropriate. We will publish that as soon as we have more specific details.
Thank you for sending us your wonderful children and for spreading the word about our school. Our enrollment is doing very well. A recent Open House and the many tours that are ongoing now are very positive signs for our school.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Best,
Dr. Kirk
