Note from the Principal
As we enter into this Thanksgiving season, I am truly thankful for all the people that make our school wonderful. The support of all our parents, especially our room parents, HSA and SAB members, and other volunteers, is invaluable. Our dedicated staff members make our school a warm and welcoming environment for all students to grow and learn. Most of all, I am thankful for our wonderful students, whose kindness towards others and desire to learn make our school the best place to be each day.
Please know that my office is always open for questions, concerns, or just to say hello. I hope you have a wonderful week with your family.

Christmas Program on December 9th!
Dear St. Mary’s School Families,
Our school’s annual Christmas Program will be held on Monday, December 9th at 6:30 PM in the gymnasium. All are invited to attend! Students are asked to arrive by 6:15 PM, dressed in “Sunday Best” for their performance. They will sit with their class on the gym bleachers until it is their time to get on to the stage. Once their class’s performance is over, they will come off of the stage to sit with their class on the bleachers.
Our school’s band will perform first, promptly at 6:30 PM, followed by each grade’s performance in the order of Pre K to 8th Grade. The evening will conclude with a Nativity presentation narrated by 7th Grade, which should finish no later than 8:15 PM. We ask that you please stay for the entirety of the program, as a courtesy to other families and in the spirit of traditional audience etiquette.
Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Have a blessed holiday season!
Sincerely,
Mr. Ben Hardwick
St. Mary’s Music Director
