Mardi Gras colors and shirts are definitely welcomed, but must meet the general dress code guidelines listed below:

If you have any questions about the attire, please do not hesitate to contact Coach Gay at: gknock@saintmmschool.org. You may also send her a picture of an outfit for approval. Students not in compliance with the dress code will be asked to go home and change. Thank you for your cooperation.

St. Margaret Mary School launched its first NASA Astro Camp in mid-January as a Community Partner with NASA Education Specialists from Stennis Space Center. Lisa Ramirez was trained as our facilitator and will use her weekly K-7 class time to introduce NASA, past and present, and complete several grade appropriate design, engineering, rocketry and coding projects. Our Junior and Senior Coding and Robotics Teams will also be using the NASA Astro Camp resources and challenges. Our first project is the Mission Patch activity that requires all students to imagine their own mission and collaborate on their crew’s mission patch graphic design.

Lisa has also been working with Wendy Conarro on available STEM resources and mentoring opportunities through the Northshore STEM Coalition, attending events at Southeastern University and Northshore Technical Community College.

The Baton Rouge Life March will be held on Saturday, January 21, 2023, from 10 to Noon. There will again be a commercial bus departing from St. Margaret Mary & St. Luke Catholic Churches in Slidell for pro-lifers to take to the March.

The bus will leave St. Margaret Mary at 7:00 a.m. and then go to St. Luke to pick up other riders. At 7:45 a.m., the bus will leave St. Luke to attend the Life March in Baton Rouge.
