St. Mary's Lions Letter
October 10, 2023
Dear St. Mary's Family,
And... TWO major projects completed! A huge thank you to members of our Dad's Club for building and installing new shelves for our Montessori classes and setting up new Mimeo boards in every classroom. We have been working diligently to implement many improvements that we believe will have a positive impact on your child's educational journey. We are investing in the latest educational technology to create more interactive and engaging classrooms. This will enable our teachers to deliver more dynamic lessons and provide students will additional hands-on learning experiences. Thank you, Dads, for helping make this possible!
Our Bazaar and Gumbo Festival is just two weeks away! The anticipation and excitement are building as we prepare for this historic event! Our teachers and students have been preparing for their special bazaar day performances. It is always inspiring to see students dedicating time and effort to their performances. I have no doubt their hard work will shine brightly! Stay tuned for more details and announcements as we get closer to the big day.
Congratulations to our Lady Lions Volleyball Team and Coach Rasheida for winning 2nd place this weekend at the Archdiocesan Volleyball Tournament. It is a testament to their dedication and hard work! The ongoing commitment to training and practices have paid off. They are to be congratulated for their well-deserved success!
