ST. MARY PHOENIX NEWS

Thank you to all of you who sent in a pet picture for "Wacky Wednesday". I have posted all of your pets in the newsletter. This "Wacky Wednesday" is Color Day. Dress up in one color from head to toe and ask your parents to take a picture and email it to me at stm_lmarvin@tccsa.net. Please send it by Wednesday to be added to the collage of color.

We are currently registering students for next year. Please share this information with families that you may know. In our current situation, the small school setting may be a positive for families. Students in the Cornerstone area that are entering Kindergarten qualify for an EdChoice Scholarship for tuition. Please share this information. Please contact the office for more information (330)-262-8671.

New Information! The Governor has said that we are in Virtual School until the end of the year. This makes us very sad that we will not be celebrating the end of the year festivities as we usually do. We miss everyone and wish we could come back to school on May 4th. So with this news, we will continue on the platform we are using as we continue to tweak our service to meet the needs of all learners. Thank you parents and staff for your positive and helpful feedback. We are here to hopefully make this a positive experience for all of us during this time.

We are busy planning for next school year and developing a plan for the possibility of a time that we have a "Stay at Home" order. Let us continue to pray that we all remain healthy and that we can get back to some semblance of normal even if we continue to social distance, wash our hands and where masks in public. It has been a learning experience for all of us.

Please stay healthy and soon the weather will be warmer and we can get out of the house and begin Phase 1 of the reopening of the state. Peace to everyone and stay healthy.

A simple way our kids can help in a big way! The church is helping to fund, make and provide masks for our local homeless community and jail.

There are many simple video tutorials out there on making sock and t-shirt masks. There are also patterns for seeing traditional masks.

We could use these made from gently used or new and washed materials.

Please consider making traditional masks/sock masks/t-shirt masks/etc. in the coming weeks to help out.

Your fabric and mask donations can be dropped off at the Parish Office between 10 am and 4 pm Monday - Friday. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mary Jicha by calling or texting her at 614-873-8806.

Since 1865, people have known St. Mary School students by their actions. This is because throughout our history, we have focused on building student’s character, based on the values instilled by the Catholic Faith, and a foundation of academic excellence.

St. Mary School provides a welcoming environment where families have the freedom to celebrate the faith. In a world of need, responsibility matters and strength is needed to serve our communities. It is our mission to develop students who have the ability to be mentors and leaders in the world. We recognize that each student is a unique gift from God and we individualize instruction to help them reach their full potential. We strive to promote an atmosphere that encourages a love of learning and provides children with a foundation of faith to balance and guide them for the rest of their lives.
