A HUGE thank you to all who made our 5th Annual Fall Bazaar and Bake sale a HUGE success! Whether you were one of our 35 amazing vendors, shopped our event, or brought in bake sale items, we are grateful for the way(s) in which you contributed! The event benefited the St. Mary's Home and School Association, so the money raised will allow students additional enrichment activities. THANK YOU! And a big congratulations to Elaine Truelson and Ellie Dickerson who were the winners of our bake sale raffle! Thanks to all the bakers for sharing your talent with us!

A HUGE THANK YOU for families who donated Hershey Hugs and Kisses! During Spirit Groups today, students bagged treat bags and included a little note on each one. These treat bags will be delivered to the VFW for their Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, which serve 800-1000 people each year. Our students love to make a difference and spread cheer to others! We are grateful for the generosity of our families to make this service project possible year after year.

We look forward to our 5th Annual Bazaar and Bake Sale! Hope you can join us from 9-1:00 to get a jump start on your Christmas shopping!
