St. Mary Phoenix News

As our week started with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception it continued with an awesome performance by our St. Mary students during the Christmas Program. Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas Program and enjoyed our students performance. Thank you to Mrs. A for all of your hard work putting the performance together. Our drum line was awesome too under the direction of Monica Miyashita.

Please take a minute to enjoy our holiday pictures and video.

The New Year aspires to be a busy time for us. Check the calendar and mark the upcoming events in January and February. Thank you to all of the parents who helped with "Munch, Mingle and Jingle.

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.
