On Monday and Tuesday, the 2-day, 3-day, and 4-day preschool classes did an amazing job sharing their love for Christmas as they sang loud and proud to their Christmas Program guests! May their Christmas joy never fade!
The Kindergartners and 5th graders reminded guests to slow down and embrace the real reason of the season during their cute and funny "Away from the Manger" play on Tuesday. They all did a fabulous job! Great work!
WOW! What a fun-filled day at SMS today! The 4th graders hosted their Small Business Fair for students and family to purchase some last minute Christmas gifts! This event is a culminating activity for their unit on the free enterprise system. Each student chose a product to produce for the sale. St. Mary’s students and guests were invited to shop for items ranging in price from $.25 to $3.00. Many cool and creative items!
SMS Alumni who were members of the Owatonna Huskies Football State Champion Team surprised our students today! They did a great job speaking on their favorite SMS memories - a few commented on our traditions and others mentioned the everlasting connections they made while here. Their visit brought a standing ovation and much excitement! Thanks for stopping in!
We have champion! Henry Jessop won the SMS geography bee, which consisted of 4-8th graders!!! He will take the state qualifying test in January and if he scores within the top 100 students in MN he moves in to compete at the state Bee. We are so proud!!!!! Congratulations to all our class representatives who qualified!
During this season of advent, St. Mary’s School is busy preparing our hearts to receive Christ and the salvation He offers us. We are blessed to be able to celebrate Christ throughout our school day…and we are reminded through various lessons and activities that Christmas is more than what’s under the tree.
