Feeling Groovy Book Fair is Here!
Hello SMA Family!
Our “Reading is Groovy” bookfair is going on this week! We have a goal of $5,000 in sales. If we reach it, the students will get to enjoy a free dress day!
TOMORROW morning at 7:45, I will have coffee and muffins for parents. Come grab some breakfast and browse the bookfair!
WEDNESDAY after school from 3:00-4:00, we are having a popcorn party! Every student who purchases a book will get free popcorn and juice! (One juice and popcorn per person)
Coloring contest entries are due tomorrow morning by 10:30am for ALL students.
If you would like to help with the bookfair, I still need volunteers. Sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/
Thank you! I hope to see you this week at the fair!

Catholic Schools’ Night at PETCO Park
This is a reminder that ticket orders are due by Friday, April 8th. We are hoping that you can join us for a fun night of baseball.

Deadlines have been extended for Love Lines and Page Sponsors for our yearbook!
We still have a need for more parent and community support for our yearbook. These two programs help to offset the cost of the yearbook. So, your participation in sponsoring a yearbook page and/or sending a Love Line to your student, teacher or buddy is greatly appreciated!
Yearbook Sponsor Page:
Every student and teacher at SMA receives this beautiful 72 page hardcover book. For $50 your family or business can show your support and school spirit by sponsoring the page of your choice in the yearbook!
See Attachment for more information and available pages .
Yearbook Lovelines:
This is your opportunity to let your favorite SMA student know how proud you are of them and how much they mean to you. Love lines are short messages addressed to a student and included on special pages in the yearbook. These messages mean a lot to the students and they hold lasting memories. Price: $5 for every 10 words
You can email your requests to jwick@stellamarisacademy.org
Thanks SMA Community,
Mrs. Wick, Mrs. Pridmore, Mrs. McGarry, and the SMA Yearbook 8th Grade Staff
Have you RSVPed for the Gala?
Our Gala is fast approaching. We can’t wait to see you next weekend at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.
Have you heard that you can bid online this year? You can spread the word and tell your friends! Doesn’t having a Tesla for 24 hours sound like an incredible opportunity? What about a week in Maui?
Make sure to start checking out some items on our SITE
Also, don’t forget to tell Kelly Lange you are coming. She is waiting to hear from you and will send you a welcome email from Cause4Auction so you can get your account set up and ready to bid.
Hope to see you there!
