St. Mary's School

Thank you Kiwanis Club of a Owatonna for sponsoring and supporting the St. Mary’s School “Citizen of the Year” awards. One student (2nd grade through 6th grade) was chosen in each class. It isn’t an easy choice, with so many great kids to choose from! Congratulations to the following students: 2nd grade: Calvin and Paige 3rd grade: Shaun and Sophie 4th grade: Kaiden 5th grade: Elijah and Alia 6th grade: Joslyne and Morgan

Congratulations 7th grader Samantha and 8th grader Noah for being recognized as this week's Shining Knights. We are proud of your commitment to excellence.

What a fun-filled day the students had at our Spirit Day today. It will be the last time the students have a chance to be with their Spirit Groups for the year...

Congratulations to our 8th graders, who graduated tonight. It is always hard to say good-bye. We thank them for their leadership and for being positive role-models to our younger students. They are well-prepared and will represent SMS well as they enter high school next year. Check out this fun, farewell video (you may see some familiar faces!): https://youtu.be/IbjVQexpJVA

We are thrilled to report 14 out of the 38 OHS students graduating with high distinction (earning a 3.95 GPA or higher) are SMS Alumni! Yes, that is right! 40% of these high achievers were our students!!!! While at SMS they were a class of 35 and now they are a class of 350...there are no words to describe how grateful we are to have been a partner in their education.

Our 3rd graders finished a simple machine unit with a take apart day. They found gears, screws, inclined planes, wedges, pulleys, wheels & axels, levers, motors, circuit boards, and magnets. Today they created junk sculptures with some of those items and other unused treasures from home. CAUTION when viewing pictures....creativity is at work! The final product, along with their inventions, will be showcased on Wednesday afternoon!
