May 30, 2023- Field day is tomorrow 5/30 and Pizza will be offered for lunch at 11:30am and parents and students can eat together. Events will start at 12:40pm and games ending around 2:20pm. The theme is US States and the Teams will be made up of one student from each grade as they make their way through obstacle courses and games. The classes will be staggered as we did last year between the grades. It will also be a free color day, due to the circumstances of being outside for the afternoon. It will likely be sunny, so please make sure students either apply sunscreen or bring it with them, and perhaps a hat.
- Report cards will be coming home on Friday. The reports will not include the final date of attendance due to being printed ahead of time.
- The Spanish academy students will be taking the high school Spanish placement exam on Wednesday from 8:00 am to 11:30 am at the high school. Please keep them in your prayers.

- Two St. Mary's student alumni, Evelyn Weber and Cierra Aiken competed in a statewide competition to get their project launched to the International Space Station and their experiment is going to space! Please consider supporting their endeavor and donating to their project. See attached for details.
- Some info on the awards that nominated students will receive: We have been Teaching the students about the virtues every week. A virtue is about habits and attitudes about some good. The students were evaluated on whether they have demonstrated behavior from one of the award categories more than a few times throughout the year. For example, if shared their faith often and proclaimed some truth of the faith, they would get the JPII award. If listening was difficult for a student, and they endured (what they considered a difficulty) for the sake of what is good, they would be nominated for the St. Faustina or St. Bernadette award. Here are the five award categories -
- Our Lady of Good Counsel - Model of Excellence in Christian Virtue (faith, hope and charity).
- St. Peter the Apostle - Model of Christian Leadership (students who know and lead the way for others, and inspire them to Christian virtue as well)
- St. Faustina / St. Bernadette - Model of the virtue of obedience and courage (fortitude).
- St. John Paul II the Great - Model of evangelization, proclamation, and witness to the faith and the virtues.
- St. Augustine - Model of growth on the path towards virtue.
