Dear Friends of St. Mary School,
What an exciting time it is to be a Mustang! Our school year is off to a wonderful start, and we are so grateful for the families, parishioners, alumni, and community supporters who believe in the mission of St. Mary School.
This year, we are continuing to grow in meaningful ways. One of our greatest priorities is ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed. Our preschool through eighth-grade teachers and interventionists have completed intensive Orton-Gillingham training, strengthening the way we teach reading and support students with dyslexia and other learning differences. We have also screened students in grades 1–8 for reading challenges, expanded our reading and math intervention services, and are excited to introduce Equipping Minds to further support cognitive and academic growth.
Our students are growing beyond the classroom as well. This year, St. Mary is continuing a Middle School FFA Chapter, providing students with new opportunities for leadership, teamwork, agriculture, and service.
These are just a few examples of the exciting things happening at St. Mary. We are committed to continuing to strengthen academics, support our teachers, expand student opportunities, and make Catholic education accessible to more families.
Your support makes this growth possible. Your generosity helps fund academic resources, intervention programs, professional development, extracurricular opportunities, tuition assistance, and so much more. We are especially focused on growing our tuition assistance endowment so that more children can experience the gift of a St. Mary education.
As Colossians 2:6–7 reminds us, we are called to be “rooted in him and built upon him.” With your prayers and support, we can continue providing an education that nurtures the whole child, mind, heart, and spirit.
Thank you for believing in St. Mary School, investing in our students, and helping us build a strong future together.
Rooted in Christ.
Tradition. Values. Success.
With gratitude,
Amanda Summers
Principal, St. Mary School
