Mrs. K joined our SMS 6th graders in leading the Stations of the Cross after 9 AM Mass this morning. It is now a tradition during Lent for a different middle school class to lead the assembly in praying the devotion of the Stations of the Cross after the Friday school Mass. #catholicschoolproud #smstheplacetobee #dedicatedtothewholechild #daretobedisciples
St. Mary School presents Virtue Awards each month to students who exemplify the Virtue of the Month.

Middle school students explored the processes involved in the rock cycle today with Starbursts. They put their Starbursts through the processes to create sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous Starburst rocks. You can see that the 8th grade boys wanted to get the most weight possible on their Starburst rock.
Be reconciled!
