We're getting excited for our HSA Thanksgiving luncheon tomorrow! Really it's a FEAST, lovingly prepared & served to our students & staff by volunteer parents & guardians. While they wait for lunch students make Thanksgiving crafts & play games with their Faith Families, like the board games our middle school students created!
Also, SMS families, tomorrow is the last day to contribute to our "Hope for the Homeless" food & supply drive. Homelessness can make daily living challenging. Everyday activities such as eating & maintaining basic hygiene can become difficult. As a school family we are endeavoring to help the homeless this Thanksgiving with their basic needs, so they have what they need AFTER the hot Thanksgiving meal of turkey and stuffing. Please review the chart below, and bring in any NEW item(s) you are able that have been assigned to your student's grade level. Thank you in advance for your support!
"When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous". Luke 14:13-14

🎄 Grades 3 & 4 started reading their Christmas Play this past week & worked on definitions to support their understanding of the characters' dialogue. Can you believe there's only 32 days until Christmas? Advent starts Nov. 30th!

SERVICE is important to St. Mary School students! Our students have completed numerous service projects this fall, including raising money for Veterans’ HERO Boxes through a patriotic dress down day, & donating warm socks for the homeless.
This week our entire 8th grade class got together after school to bake cookies that will be distributed with the warm socks collected, through the UB Newman Center's Homeless Ministry. A special thank you to Mrs. Braunscheidel & all of our parent volunteers who helped with the baking!

We are so blessed to have wonderful staff & families here at SMS! Mrs. Robbins returned to in-person teaching this week, after suffering an injury late this past summer. We're so happy that she's on the mend and back with us now!
A big thank you also goes out to the Munro family for lending Mrs. Robbins this big comfy chair to give her feet a rest on and continue healing! We have the best families who are always willing to lend a helping hand. 🩷

SMS students have been drawing God! Recently before school Mass, students met together in their Faith Families to listen to Karen Kiefer's book, "Drawing God", read aloud by Mrs. D'Angelo. Then they each worked on their own drawing that will be hung at OLV National Shrine & Basilica for an exhibit on November 22 .
The Catholic Parenting Initiative would like to invite families to attend the upcoming event, Drawing God Night, on Sat., Nov. 22nd from 5:30-7 pm. The evening will begin with Eucharistic Adoration for families in the upper Basilica, followed by food, crafts, activities and an art show including SMS students' artwork in the lower Basilica. The first 50 families to arrive that evening will receive a free copy of "Drawing God".
If you are planning to attend Drawing God Night, kindly RSVP at the link below: https://www.cpiwny.org/events-1/
