Weekly news from the office for the week of November 12, 2018.

Dear School Families,
 
I would like to emphasize to our St. Mary's School families that the deadline for the first round of 2019-2020 Scholarships from the Diocese of Grand Rapids is December 1, 2018.  You are more likely to receive a scholarship from the Diocese the earlier you get your financial information on Smart Aid.  Please note, families will not be eligible to receive any St. Mary's Parish Scholarship Funds until the Smart Aid Application has a "Verified" status. Visit our website to view Smart Aid Parent Instructions https://www.stmarysl.org/smart-tuition.html.
 
The weather is quickly changing, so please make sure that your children come to school prepared with weather-worthy clothing – hats, warm coats/jackets, snow pants, mittens and boots.

We’ve received a lot of good feedback on our new hot lunch program. Thank you to those that have shared recipes and helped prepare our scratch made muffins and banana bread.
 
God Bless.

St. Mary's School, Spring Lake
