A Word Of THANKS!

Lisa Flint • May 11, 2020

Good afternoon Monarch Family,

Our teachers are the best! They are. First and foremost, on the tail end of this Teacher Appreciation Week I want to thank our Saint Mary’s Catholic School teachers. Each one of our teachers are dedicated, patient, loving and supportive. It is most reassuring that each student is physically/emotionally safe and academically prepared and prosperous. For this and other unmentioned reasons, I am thankful!

To the parents, thank you for each of your efforts to recognize our teachers as the skilled and thoughtful educators that they are. This week has been slightly more difficult to provide a ‘regular’ celebration but like always, you have each come through to recognize our teachers. Thank you! Additionally, thank you to our PTO for spearheading the charge to recognize our teachers. Not an easy undertaking, so thank you.

I want to thank all persons affiliated with SMCS for their dedication to Catholic education and especially Saint Mary’s Catholic School. In every altered circumstance we stand up and deliver with such grace. A true mark of a united community committed to excellence. I am excited about the school’s future and am thrilled that each of you are part of the journey.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Best regards,

Brandon

Election Day Resources & Reminders

By Katie Botha • October 31, 2024

Faithful Citizenship Resources In anticipation of Election Day on November 5, the Virginia Catholic Conference has prepared voter education resources to help Catholics confidently vote with an informed conscience. Those resources can be found on the Catholic Diocese of Richmond's website . School Day Reminders This year, Election Day is a regular school day with a regular bell schedule at Saint Mary's Catholic School. In prior years, it has coincided with Parent-Teacher Conferences resulting in a day-off for students; however, that is not the case this school year. Many of our students across all grade levels are aware of the importance of Election Day. We anticipate the days leading up to Election Day and those following it will provide topics of conversation that students may choose to engage in both inside and outside the classroom. If necessary, our teachers may offer age-appropriate explanations of the day's events and results. As family members, we encourage you to guide your children as they navigate their thoughts and feelings over the coming weeks and months.
