ALBUM: CSW DOOR CONTEST

Katie Botha • January 30, 2022

In the weeks leading up to Catholic Schools Week, students worked with their homeroom teachers to create a unique door decoration based on the the week’s theme: Faith. Excellence. Service. The colorful doors helped to serve as a warm welcome for the more than 50 prospective families who toured the school on Open House Sunday (January 30th).

Congrats to our Best Overall winner, Mrs. Harrod’s 4th grade class and to our “Best of” category winners Mrs. Mugford’s 1st graders (Best ECDC), Mrs. Benton’s 5th graders (Best Elementary) and Mrs. Forkey’s 7th graders (Best Middle School)!

Enjoy the gallery below of all of the inspiring designs that earned this 5-star review from our Principal, Mr. Hess:

“Best year ever of door decorating!”

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.
