Theology of the Body

We are a TOB Campus! This allows for increased professional development for our faculty and staff.

We are teaching our children to be proud of who God made them to be - unique children born in the image of God.

Thanks to the Knights of Columbus for their support!

WELCOME TO THE SMS FAMILY!

Please join me in welcoming Cady McClurg - Kindergarten, Kellie Fender - Part-time PreK PM, Sara Harris - Art, and Al Sipma- parttime afternoon custodian.

Thank you for choosing St. Matthew's!

Lunch Update

At this time, we do not expect federal funding for free lunch for our students unlike the past two years. We strongly encourage each family to complete the application for free and reduced lunch form (found in the link). Students will need to pay for school lunches if they do not qualify for free and reduced priced meals. These forms also help us qualify for funds for our Title 1 funds to help with intervention and professional development. Please consider filling out the form even if you think you won't qualify. Thanks!
