Do pumpkins sink or float? 🤔 🎃 Mrs. Picone's 1st grade class found out the answer to this puzzling question & others, during a day of predictions, experiments & observations! They found out that pumpkins do indeed float, what pumpkin "guts" smell & feel like, & how many seeds were inside this particular orange orb! Can you guess how many???
Mrs. Picone's first graders were working together yesterday afternoon in Math with their number lines. #mathisfun #grade1 #worktogether

Our #Kindergartners have a new ghostly friend in class watching to see if they are being good! "Spooks" is a friendly little ghost who moves around the room overnight, & students look for him each morning. They even made some glue-y ghosts of their own to decorate! #halloween

Has your SMS student achieved something notable outside of school recently in sports, scouts, or another community organization? Do you have news to share with our community as an alum? If so, tell us about it! We’d love to share the #BuzzWorthy news on social media or in an upcoming “What’s the Buzz” school newsletter. Simply email any photos and a short description to buzzworthy@stmaryschoolswormville.org.
We are always so pleased to have students train & volunteer to serve at Mass! Recently, two brand new altar servers were recognized for having served at their first Mass, during one of our weekly school Masses. Congratulations, and THANK YOU to all of our student altar servers!
Last Friday we recognized numerous students for their #faith! Faith was the #virtue we chose to focus on for #September, and teachers chose the pictured individuals as students who particularly exemplified the virtue and did something to live out their faith last month.
Go through your garage, mudroom & coat closet - don’t throw out your old shoes- bring them in starting tomorrow to support our 8th graders as they fund-raise for their class trip! Shoe collection bins will be placed outside the school office. Our 8th graders have a goal of 2,500 shoes so they appreciate all the support they can get!
Shoes, sneakers, cleats, hiking boots, rain boots, water shoes & sandals are acceptable, they will not accept single shoes, ice skates, roller skates, wet or moldy shoes, or shoes with holes or tears. The company they are collecting for, Funds2Orgs, works to support individuals who create micro-businesses in developing countries to combat the effects of systemic poverty and a lack of education and economic opportunity. It's a win-win!

Mrs. Baker's 4th Grade celebrated the end of their novel "The Eyes and the Impossible" with some special friends and donuts with dogs! The children's novel incorporates the themes of friendship, survival, selflessness, teamwork, and the power of art to tell the story of Johannes, a fast, free dog who lives in a national park, and runs through the park, seeing all, missing nothing, and reporting what he sees to the park's three ancient Bison.
