Truck or Treat
Thank you to everyone who hosted a trunk and helped us make this a memorable event with their creativity and enthusiasm! A special congratulations to our “Boo Basket” winner Theresa Boehl, grandmother of Kindergartener, Redford!
Veteran’s Day Celebration
In addition to our usual Veterans Day Celebration the morning of November 11, St. Mary’s School is creating a special bulletin board to recognize the brave men and women who have served our country from our St. Mary’s community! If you have a family member or friend who has served or is currently serving in the military, please send us the following:
-Veteran’s full name
-Branch of military service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, or Space Force)
-Relationship to your St. Mary’s student(s) (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, etc.)
-Name and grade of your St. Mary’s student(s)
-A photograph of your veteran (a picture from their time in the service would be especially wonderful, if available!)
If possible, please email all photographs and information directly to Mrs. Schick at schickd@stmfalcons.com. If you can’t email the image & information, have your student bring it to the school office.
Please have all photos to Dee by TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
We are excited to create a meaningful tribute that allows our students to recognize the heroes within our own St. Mary’s community.
