A special thank you to Mrs. Giroux (middle school science teacher) for meeting our first graders in the chapel to show and explain to the class about the tabernacle, the ciborium, the monstrance, and the oils (for baptism, confirmation, and anointing of the sick). It’s great to be able to “see” what they've been discussing in class. The class loved it, and Mrs. Sakel heard more than once, “that’s so cool”. We also appreciated Fr. Dave bringing over the chalice, the paten, and the purificatior during one of his recent class visits. #LoveMyCatholicSchool #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints St. Mary's School, Spring Lake, Michigan Business is booming in fourth grade! Students are spending their hard earned class cash on treats made by our bankers today. Followed by balancing their checkbooks!👍 #LoveMyCatholicSchool #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints
St. Mary’s School benefits all year long from the religious guidance, prayers and support of our local parishes. Today we said THANK YOU by participating in the liturgy as a St. Mary’s School family. We are grateful to God for the generous support of parishioners! Today, we definitely showed our school pride to both parish communities! CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK CONTINUES THROUGH FEBRUARY 1 🙏❤️ #LoveMyCatholicSchool #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints #CSW20  St. Mary's School Epiphany tradition - "chalking of the doors" is a great reminder for our preschool - 8th grade students that Jesus is ALIVE in our classrooms. REMINDER: Our next student council meeting is tomorrow, January 16th at 8AM in the 6th grade classroom.  Thank you Father Dave for asking Christ to bless our school this morning🙏 The Gospel tells us that the magi found Christ "on entering the house". The door to your home is a holy threshold. You can bless those who come in and go out by inscribing above the door in chalk: 20+C+M+B+20 The numbers stand for the current year, 2020. Tradition tells us that the letters stand for the names of the magi: Casper, Melchior and Balthasar. Adolph Adam points out that it may also mean "Christus mansionem benedicat" or "May Christ bless this dwelling". It is appropriate to bless your door in January - Janua means "door".

 5th and 6th grade adopted a family for Christmas! They brought in winter coats, pajamas, boots, and MANY fun toys to surprise three young children with on Christmas morning. They then personally wrapped each gift. Their generosity is sure to bring joy to these children’s hearts this Christmas! #LoveMyCatholicSchool #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints Students in their Science Exploratorium elective unpacked and assembled a worm bed. They will be recycling lunchroom food scraps beginning in January! They also set up a new coding game where they can build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic problems --challenging, rewarding and FUN! #LoveMyCatholicSchool #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints December 6, 2019 While in morning Mass —St. Nicholas left gold coin treats in their shoes...they will be so surprised! #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #LoveMyCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints What a lovely day we had Friday celebrating St. Nicholas’ feast day! The third grade planned a very special liturgy to start our day. We saw generosity illustrated beautifully in the jars full of coins and dollars for our Nickel’s for St. Nicholas Drive. Preschool through 4th grade students were surprised with a treat in their “shoes”. We had a festive and friendly classroom door decorating competition and all classes enjoyed an afternoon break with hot chocolate and marshmallows! Service hour and Student Council students really pitched in and made it a day to remember. I am just so grateful that we are blessed to mingle faith and education throughout our days at school.

We can't wait to see what winter brings...stay tuned! #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #LoveMyCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints Our 4th graders - on behalf of their TURKEYS - wrote a persuasive essay to their teacher, "President Mullally". The letter was to convince the panel of Ms. Doyle, Mrs. Mullally and Mr. Earl they deserve a pardon from being Thanksgiving dinner. Each student came up with occupations for their turkeys as part of their persuasion to be spared. There was a plumber, FBI agent, nun, private investigator, nurse, neurosurgeon, teacher, gymnastics instructor, gardener, famous actress, park ranger, paper boy, fancy chef, doctor, and President Trump!!! From the Lincoln Pardon...to the Doyle/Mullally/Earl Pardon --Congratulations and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! <3 #WeAreSaintMarysCatholicSchool #LoveMyCatholicSchool #SoaringWithTheSaints #HappyThanksgiving |
