Robinette's Apple Orchard Field Trip

We had a wonderful time learning about the apple orchard!  We toured the orchard, navigated a maze together, made apple cider, enjoyed donuts and picked our own apples.  It was a beautiful day!

A Visit from Fr. Dave

We had a  fun classroom visitor this past week.  Father Dave came to speak with us about the Bible and important facts we have learned in religion.  We had many interesting questions and comments for him!  We can't wait for his next visit soon!

Inspired by Saint Mary and rooted in our Catholic faith, St. Mary's School fosters spiritual development, academic excellence, responsibility to self, and service to others in order that the Gospel of Christ may be known in the world.
