Today's #SpiritWeek theme was "loving our school family". Students dressed in red, pink, or purple and observed St. Valentine's Day early since Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. Classes had fun exchanging sweet cards & treats, and some even did special activities like making ice cream!
Parents, please join us if you are able for Ash Wednesday Mass tomorrow at 9 am. Students may wear their uniform, or a St. Mary School Spirit Wear shirt with uniform bottoms for our school-wide Lenten retreat! 💜✝️ #SpiritWeek #Lent #SMStheplacetoBEE 🐝💙🤍

Our 1st day of #SpiritWeek was super groovy! Students dressed up as a variety of decades & musical genres, made instruments, put on a show, played "Name that Tune", & even made up jingles for our school! Enjoy some of the day's "greatest hits" here: http://tinyurl.com/462p9z2h

Montessori students visited "Profe's Market" this week. They are learning the Spanish words for different types of fruit, and colors! Learning about real-life situations in a playful and fun way is a key component of the Montessori teaching style, while foreign language study enhances listening skills and memory, as well as allowing for more effective participation in a multi-cultural world.
