Morals Matter Movement
As part of our faith and character education initiative, students are invited to participate in our Morals Matter Movement. The goal is to consider the morals we hold individually as well as a community, and how we apply those morals to real-life situations. Through literature, students will engage in discussions about the meaning of morals and good character with our families, peers, friends, and teachers. Details coming soon!

Thank you to our generous parents, guardians, faculty, staff, parishioners, and community members who donated supplies, funds, and time to our Fall Leaves Us Reading & Learning Campaign! Because of you we were able to successfully create a sensory path, sensory gym, and fill our library with new books for children to explore. We would love to share our progress with you as well as give thanks to you! Please join us for hors d'oeuvres and dessert to celebrate all of you, as well as honor Laura Kronenberg.

Laura has selflessly given hours of her time to paint beautiful art in our school library and hallway for all to enjoy. We would not only like to honor her for her service but for her continued commitment to our school, SMT students, and Catholic education.
