2025 Spring Musical - Frozen Jr.
St. Mary School offers a variety of different enrichment programs throughout the year. Some of these programs are offered during school hours, while most are after school with a fee associated based on the program. Here is just a few of the different programs offered. 
Altar Servers
Altar Servers are dedicated boys and girls (grammar and high school age) and adult men and women.

The Altar Servers actively assist the priest in the celebration of Mass and other liturgical functions. They manage objects used in liturgical rituals, i.e. cross, candles, water, wine, incense and prayer books and provide an example of reverence and prayerful service.

Training for new Altar Servers will take place in the Spring. Please check back here for more information.


Honor Society
Membership in the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a middle school student. Our chapter has worked hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and the community. Our chapter strives to give practical meaning to the Society’s standards of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. These five ideals are considered as the basis for selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average.

The National Junior Honor Society strives to recognize the total student—one who excels in all of these areas. The standards used for selection are:
  • Scholarship: cumulative average
  • Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship: as demonstrated by activities and teacher evaluations

ST. MARY NJHS OFFICERS:
  • President:  TBD
  • Vice President: TBD
  • Treasurer:  TBD
  • Secretary:  TBD

Running Club
I am a firm believer in running so I offer the simplicity of running with a program called Running Club. You may join as a running club member with the expectation of running on your own and participating with the track team at Mary Park. During the 9-week season, you can strive to reach the marathon mark (26 miles), half century mark (50 miles) or century mark (100 miles). The miles that you ran during this program in past years count toward meeting these goals. With each goal you are awarded a special t-shirt. This was a big hit last year.

Safety & Flag Patrol
Safety Patrol is a necessary extra-curricular activity where students keep the school population safe while earning service hours. The six to seven posts are located on the school property to facilitate the arrival and dismissal of students.

Safety Patrol students serve to protect St. Mary’s children. In January, eighth graders are released and sixth graders join the teams. Training for our new patrol people in seventh or eighth grade is ongoing. All patrol people are required to attend training to be the best you can be and keep our children safe. Punctuality is most important (you are responsible for getting your own substitute). We are counting on you!

Flag Patrol gets the key from the main office and puts up the American flag and the St. Mary flag below it. In case of inclement weather, the flag is not flown.

Schedule
  • Morning duty begins at 7:30am and ends at 8:00am.
  • After school duty starts at 2:50pm and becomes final when all traffic ceases near 3:10pm.

St. Mary School Safety Patrol Guidelines
  • A Safety Patrol member must always be on time, kind, and respectful, especially on duty.
  • Do not socialize during your duty time; do not talk with friends at this time. You are watching for the safety of your fellow students.
  • Keep the students safe:
    • Make sure students walk.
    • Make sure students stay on the sidewalk.
    • Make sure there is no throwing on school grounds.
    • Make sure there is no yelling or profanity.

Spring Musical
There are many different ways for students to be a part of our musicals. They can audition for an acting role, help create beautiful scenery in set design, or join stage crew to help with lights, sound and scene changes. Musical productions are a lot of work, so we are lucky to have such talented students who help with every part of our shows!

For information, please contact Mrs. Falasz or Mr. Rouleau.

Our School Play will be back next Spring! Stay tuned for more information regarding the play selection!
