"Fall Leaves Us Reading & Learning" Fundraising Campaign 

In order to foster literacy inside as well as outside of the classroom, we must provide our students with choices, and high-quality reading materials. During the months of September and October, we request new/used (excellent condition) book donations and new supplies for our “Fall Leaves Us Reading & Learning” campaign. 

Here are some suggested categories: animals, art, autobiography, biography, children’s literature, young adult literature, music, health, history, nature, poetry, religion, science, sports, and reference materials.
Kindly consider the teachings of the Catholic church for your donations. Monetary donations are also accepted in the main office.

We will be posting a donation link shortly! Thank you in advance for your support.


We are happy to welcome our new Principal, Dr. Jennifer Economos!

Dear Parents:

Yesterday on the feast of Saint Benedict I appointed Dr. Jennifer Economos to the position of principal of St. Martin of Tours School. How appropriate this should take place on the feast day of Saint Benedict who jump-started the European system of Catholic education through his monasteries of learning.  Since the center of our lives and school is our parish, it is indeed fitting that this formal announcement be first made this weekend at our parish Sunday Masses, with dissemination through this mailing and electronically for those who will be at Sunday Mass elsewhere this weekend due to vacation travel. 

I learned of the departure of Mrs. Martinez about 4 weeks ago and realized that there was not a lot of time to accomplish the complex task of interviewing and selecting someone new for this position. The exceptionally capable Department of Education of the Diocese of Rockville Centre immediately provided me with experienced direction and support for this mission:  the structural composition and specific nature of the search committee as well as vetted candidates for our consideration.  For the last few weeks that process was scrupulously followed.

While the decision whom to appoint as principal of the school is exclusively that of the pastor, I am grateful for the input of members of the parish and school, as well as those from the Department of Education, who assisted me in the collaborative interview and discernment processes.  St. Martin’s is, and always has been a Catholic school.  Together with the search committee, I believe that with her professional credentials and Catholic faith, Dr. Economos is the candidate best suited to maintain our essential identity, as Catholic.

You will find that Dr. Economos has great experience in education as well as enthusiasm for our school; she has already taken appropriate ownership of her leadership role. Dr. Economos incorporates creative ideas in the pro-active promotion of Saint Martin’s school within the community and beyond.  

Dr. Economos will be making herself better known to you in the days ahead and you will have the opportunity to meet her in order to welcome her to our parish and school family. 

Thank you for your support of Catholic education here at St. Martin’s.  Let us look forward to welcoming and supporting our new principal. 

St. Martin of Tours, pray for us.
Saint Benedict, pray for us. 
                                                  
Sincerely yours,
 
Father Gerard Gordon
Pastor
