Dear SMA Community,
I hope y’all enjoyed this past holiday weekend. Indeed for the staff and me, it was a welcomed break, especially as we gear up for the last half of October–many events and activities before us!
I mentioned in last week’s newsletter that this is the Month of the Holy Rosary. Our school-wide Living Rosary prayer was moved from this morning to next Wednesday morning (9:30 in the church). You are invited to join us!
TOMORROW (Thursday, October 17th) is our school picture make-up day. For those students who missed this opportunity last month, they should plan to have their picture taken tomorrow. These students will need to be in their Mass dress uniform (at least the top half). This is the final opportunity for school pictures!
Our first Student-of-the-Month Assembly is this Friday, October 18th (8:05 am), during which we will recognize a student from each grade who exemplified the virtue of “respect” during the month of September. Also on Friday, our Student Council will host the first Middle School Dance (5-7 pm in the Hall).
This Sunday, October 20th, marks our next School Family Mass (9 am). Please plan to join us for our Eucharistic liturgy. Students who attend the Mass in uniform will be eligible for free dress on Monday (they should look for me at the front of the church–near the altar–after Mass to receive their “free dress pass”).
Finally, our annual STEAM Night is on Thursday, October 24th (5:30 – 7:00 pm). This is going to be a “spook-tacular” event! See this newsletter for a flier with details.
Thank you for entrusting Stella Maris Academy with your children’s education.
With blessings and gratitude,
Jamie Brandt
Principal
