Principal Message: February 1, 2023

We had a 223% increase in our Open House attendance this year with more than 30 families hand in applications on the spot. It was an amazing show of how lucky we are to be part of the Saint Mary School community. As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week I would be remiss to not tell you to get your applications in for reenrollment as soon as you can. They will be going home on Friday and will need to be returned by February 16 to hold your seat. We have a time stamped waiting list of families waiting to hear if they have secured a spot for the 2023-24 school year.

The students are having so much fun this week with LeaderU and thanking the clergy and teachers during Catholic School Week. On Thursday, at 9am,Middletown Mayor Tony Perry will visit Saint Mary School to sign a proclamation in honor of Catholic Schools Week. In addition to marking Catholic Schools Week, the proclamation will recognize the excellent education provided to area students by Saint Mary. Catholic Schools Week, which this year runs from Sunday, Jan. 29, to Friday, Feb. 3, is an annual event that highlights the outstanding educational opportunities offered by the nation’s Catholic schools.

We are almost at 50% of our Polar Plunge goal. We only have our days left. Please help support the school with a pledge now. The weather looks to be a balmy 32 degrees!

God bless,
Craig Palmer
