From day 1 to 100 (& each and every day in between!) your child's Kindergarten year is an important first step in their education. A positive, engaging Kindergarten experience lays the foundation for future academic success - fostering essential social, emotional, & cognitive skills that children will use throughout their lives.
We invite you to explore Kindergarten at St. Mary School & see how our Catholic values shape tomorrow's leaders. Click the link below to register for a Kindergarten tour this March: stmaryschoolswormville.org/be-a-bee

Spring & K Grad Photo Day is TOMORROW! If you'd like photos taken order online at mylifetouch.com or use the paper form that came home. Students getting SPRING pictures may dress up out of uniform, MCH-K & K students may dress up or wear uniforms under the supplied cap/gown.



Our Kindergartners are a "force" to be reckoned with! They had a big, blue, special guest for Science recently when they were invited down to Mrs. Witkowski's science lab. They first reviewed what it means to be a scientist & how to make predictions, then did a special experiment & movement activity on forces! Kindergartners learned how to move "Big Bluey" (a huge blow up elephant) with pushes & pulls, drew their own examples of forces, & sorted toys based on the type of forces that move them.
If you're looking for a Kindergarten experience for your child that incorporates STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art & Math), as well as gives them a solid foundation in reading with ELA, & reinforces your Catholic values, click the link below to join us this March to see why SMS is the place to "bee": https://www.stmaryschoolswormville.org/be-a-bee
