Dear Families:
We hope you all had a wonderful winter break. Three weeks till Spring! I know teachers have enjoyed a well-deserved rest and they are roaring to go with “Read Across America” activities next week. Our Literacy initiatives keep students on-task and focused on listening, speaking, reading, writing and critical thinking skills. It’s so important at all levels and our results continue to bear that out.
We are now in our third trimester and students will receive report cards on Tuesday. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher directly.
I hope you will follow our website additions to keep everyone updated. Our calendar is loaded with activities to keep you all informed. mtstmaryacademy.com The Calendar is in the drop-down box Called “Parents”.
This week our LEGO CLUB begins March 8 at 2:30.
Ski Club will have their final run this Friday, March 10.
Our Room Parents will be meeting with me Thursday and I know they have some interesting updates regarding the Spring “Walk-A-Thon” and a few other initiatives.
For the month of March, we will be having Walk in Wednesdays.
New Families looking to take a tour, pick up an application and see us in action, may call us and get on a list. This will take place March 8, 15, 22, and 29 from 10:00-11:00am.
Our school will participate in the annual St Patrick’s Day Parade on March 26. Parents must participate with their student- staff will be present but not supervising. We will post details in a few days.
Classrooms are all participating in a Door Decorating Contest this week, and the themes are all about books! Winners have some fun prizes- we will post the pictures!
We have been very busy re-enrolling the school for 2023-24. Thank you for sending us your intent to return forms. It is clear that we will have a very healthy enrollment and we thank you for showing such confidence in our school and staff.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Dr. Kirk
