We ensure our older students have several opportunities to be integrated with our younger students. This philosophy does not only help create great leaders, it allows our younger students to have great role models, and is supports the family feel that everyone talks about at St. Mary’s.
One of the favorite offerings we have to integrate our grades is something we call Spirit Groups. Our Spirit Groups consist of children from each grade level, with our older students taking a leadership role within the group. These groups participate in monthly events that allow students to build strong relationships while participating in activities that teach the virtues of our faith. Students remain with the same group throughout the year and end together as a team for our Spirit Day.
Other multi-age opportunities include: reading buddies, mass buddies, putting on school skits, doing service projects together, and so much more.
