JANUARY NEWSLETTER 2016
St. Mary Catholic School
Challenging the Mind—Living the Faith
www.stmarycatholicschool.org
Dear Parents,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope that everyone enjoys a blessed Christmas and a relaxing new year. I hope your days are filled with an abundance of family time. Two glorious weeks to spend with family is truly a blessing. Although December was a short month in school, it was jam-packed with so many wonderful activities that highlighted the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Lord, Jesus. How wonderful for your children to be in an environment where Christ is at the center of the season! Our pre-kindergarteners, kindergarteners, first graders, and second through fifth graders did a beautiful job giving glory and praise to our Savior with their lovely voices.
When we return on January 4, 2016, our students (and staff) should be re-energized and ready to engage in more learning. We will be well into the second trimester of our school year.
At the end of January, we will be gearing up for Catholic Schools Week 2016. Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service is again the theme for 2016. The theme highlights the fact that Catholic schools are not only communities themselves, but also part of the communities, cities, and states where they are located. Catholic schools are known for their focus on academic excellence, faith development, and service to enable students to serve their communities and nation in the future.
I hope you and your family will join us during our Catholic Schools Week celebration. Please bring your friends and neighbors, particularly those who may be thinking about Catholic education for their children. Please make every effort to be part of the many activities we have planned for this year’s Catholic Schools Week.
As always, I ask for your prayers to the Holy Spirit to give me the guidance and wisdom needed to serve as principal of Saint Mary Catholic School. May God Bless you!
Patricia A. McDermott

FAITH
CHRISTMAS SHOWS
Christmas St. Mary’s style included four beautiful Christmas Shows featuring
different grade levels. Much appreciation is extended to the teachers and their
students for sharing the story of the birth of Jesus in such a lovely way.
Mrs. Jeanie Stark, Sister Aloysius, and the pre-kindergarten class; Mrs. Dana
Hilmoe, Mrs. Christine Pentony, and the kindergarten class; Mrs. Tina Forsythe,
Mrs. Jonna Larkin, and the first grade class; and Mr. Trevor Rowland, Ms. Bonnie
Cleary, Mrs. Rae Leggett, Ms. Mary Poffenberger, Mrs. Lori Balog, and the
second, third, fourth, and fifth grade classes really spread the true meaning of
Christmas.
THANKSGIVING PRAYER SERVICE
Members of the National Junior
Honor Society planned and led a
Thanksgiving Prayer Service with
the entire student body. It gave us
the opportunity to come together
to give thanks for all our blessings
and to offer prayers for those in
need of God’s extra graces.
PARISH NEWS
INSPIRE—ASK THE PASTOR
Father Collin Poston, Pastor of St. Mary Parish, is featured in Ask-the-Pastor. In these short vignettes, Father Collin helps to answer questions about God, Jesus, faith, life—both the joys and challenges— and also helps to inspire you with a message of hope in the Lord who loves you! Follow this link, http://www.your4state.com/lifestyle/ask-the-pastor, to be inspired.
FROM FATHER COLLIN:
Within our archdiocese, inspired by our Holy Father Pope Francis and led by our good local shepherd Archbishop William Lori, we are being encouraged (and challenged) as a Church to “Be Missionary Disciples.” What that means, essentially, is that each one of is called by God through our baptism to use our gifts in the spirit of purpose and mission: each one of us can make an impact and help bring others to Christ and his Church if we respond. We have a duty
and responsibility to do so: yet it is also our blessing and privilege to do so as well! We are, on our parish council, discussing how to do this as a parish and community, long term. To see more about this, see the website: www.bemissionarydisciples.org .

CHRISTMAS PRAYER SERVICE
The NJHS also planned and led an Advent Prayer Service with the student body
on our final day before the start of Christmas Break. The Pre-K class sang their
Advent Prayer Song for the school. This was another great opportunity for us to
share our faith as a school community!
RECONCILIATION
Our students in grades three through eight attended a Penance Service and,
thanks to our local priests, Father Collin, Father Larry, Msgr. Jarboe, and Father
Jicha, were given the opportunity to have their confessions heard during this
Advent season. We also appreciate the reflection music that Mr. Trevor Rowland
provided during our time in Church.

FAMILY BINGO—JANAURY 23
Mrs. Jeanie Stark and Mrs. Carrie McMahon are planning our annual Family
BINGO Night event for Saturday, January 23. Come enjoy dinner and an evening
of fun for the whole family. Meal includes pizza and drinks. Baked

Registration forms will be sent home soon and is limited to the

AUCTION SURVEY
We need your input. Over the last eight years, the Home &
School Association has taken on more financial responsibilities
in order to help St. Mary Catholic School offer a quality
Catholic education while trying to keep tuition affordable. For
the past several years the SMCS Auction has undoubtedly
been the greatest source of income for the HSA. This single
event raised $34,171.02 in 2012, $36,841.65 in 2013, $38,750.20 in 2014, and
approximately $29,000 in 2015. In addition to covering budgetary items, profits
from the auction have covered the cost of air-conditioning five classrooms,
purchasing additional iPads to create a mobile lab for K-5 students to utilize, and
new uniforms for our basketball teams. The Auction has also directly reduced the
cost of tuition by $200 per student over a four-year period.
Although the Auction continues to be successful, SMCS family participation in the
Auction has been decreasing. We would like to understand why? What needs to
be done to make this event one in which you would like to attend? A brief
survey will be coming soon to get your input. The HSA wants to host a
fundraising event that is not only profitable but also one that more SMCS families
want to support and attend! Please give us your thoughts and suggestions. It is
all about the kids!
SCRIP
Last year St. Mary families saved over $30,000 in tuition by
participating in the SCRIP Program. SCRIP dates this month
are January 4, 11, and 25.

Adopt-A-Family Christmas program. SMCS students
adopted seven families. Through the read-a-thon, students

sure to make their Christmas brighter. Our school
community is so generous! The Student Council would like to

Flanagan, Debbie and Sofia Corsi, Kim, Rory, and Aidan O’Hanlon, and Mrs.

BRING A FRIEND TO SCHOOL DAY
We are having the "Bring a Friend to School Day" in an attempt to attract new families into choosing Catholic education for their children. We believe if other children spend the day at SMCS with our students and staff, most (if not all) will like their experience and will want to attend in the near future. We have spots for more students and would like to share our wonderful school community with as many students as possible. Our goal is to someday have two classrooms per grade. Please consider allowing your child to invite a friend whose family might be interested in SMCS.
We hope you will encourage your student to invite a friend (same grade level) to visit on January 19, 2016. Registration forms will be available after Christmas. Spots are limited.
Washington County Public Schools are closed on this day, January 19, so if inclement weather becomes a factor, an email alert would be sent in the morning by Mrs. McDermott.
IN YOUR PRAYERS
Please continue to pray for peace in the world and for the special intentions held by the members of our school
community.
