Principal's Summer Updates
June 28th, 2024
A Message from Dr. Nadjarian
Dear Families,
I hope your summer is off to a wonderful start!
I want to take a moment to applaud our administrative team who have been hard at work closing out the 2023-2024 school year and preparing for the 2024-2025 school year. Their hard work, dedication, and organizational skills keep St. Mary's School running smoothly. Every couple of weeks throughout the summer, I will be sending updates about what is going on at the school and in the school community. Enjoy!

Baguette Making Class
Thank you to the Etaix family for hosting a baguette making class at their home for the Gala auction winners: Ms. Porcello, Ms. Crapo, and Ms. Katie! In this class, the Etaix family taught our teachers how to make a traditional French baguette. They took turns making the dough, and shaping them into baguettes. It is so nice to see members of our St. Mary's community getting together during these summer months!
