Principal's Message

Dear St. Mary’s Parents,
Hello, everyone!

Basketball! Kickball! Four Square! It’s all coming back! Recess is getting back to normal just in time for spring. Look for a Sign-up Genius in the next day or so for an opportunity to donate some balls, jump ropes, etc. The students have been real troopers about recess during Covid, and now we’re all extremely excited to get another piece of school FUN back where it belongs!

See you soon!
God bless.
Mr. Nicely
