MAY CROWNING 2023
Katie Botha • May 5, 2023
Father Mike’s beautiful homily reminded us of two co-existing images of Mother Mary’s holiness: Mary as the Queen of Heaven and Mary as a devoted and hard working Mother of God.
Congratulations to Megan J., this year’s 8th grader elected by her peers for embodying Mary’s holy attributes. Megan participated in the procession at the end of School Mass to crown Mary with flower offerings presented by student representatives from every grade.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the celebration of this long time Saint Mary’s tradition, especially Mrs. Slifka, our students, faculty, staff and of course the many parents and grandparents who made time to spend their morning with us honoring our Holy Queen!
Congrats to our Classroom Winners & School Winner, sixth grader, Will H.!
Tips & Strategies from Mrs. Slagle
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.
