3. Upcoming Dates

This week we are welcoming a new staff member to our team, Dr. Robin Saunders Davis! She will be teaching Kindergarten, 4th, and 5th grade religion as well as joining the aftercare team. Dr. Saunders Davis received her Bachelors in Social Science from The Catholic University of America and then moved on to Johns Hopkins University where she received her Masters of Education as well as her Doctorate in Education with a focus on Teacher Development and Leadership. She has served in educational roles at all levels throughout her career, including teacher, professor, multicultural equity education consultant, trainer, and many more. We are excited to welcome her to our community of learners!

Mrs. Karen Italiano has joined our team as the new PreK4 paraeducator. Mrs. Italiano is the parent of three children here at SMA and also serves as the Youth Minister at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church. She filled in as a substitute teacher for the position and was an excellent addition to the class. We are grateful that she will now be with us full time!

Picture Day is taking place next week! Wednesday September 28th is picture day for PK-3rd, and Thursday September 29th is picture day for 4th-8th. The fall picture day is in full uniform as these photos will be used for the yearbook. Middle School students are required to be in full winter uniform (white shirt and sweater vest/pullover/cardigan; ties for young men). Students in grades 4-8 that normally have P.E. on Thursday will wear their regular uniform, not their P.E. uniform.
