Since we had such a fun time at the HSA roller skating party this past weekend, we thought we'd feature this clipping from a 1988 "St. Mary's Press" newsletter we found in the archives for our #ThrowbackThursday. Enjoy, and feel free to tag any alumni mentioned! #StMarys175
PRAY 'N PLAY will be held next Fri., 3/15 at 6:30 pm in the school gym. This event has been an annual SMS tradition for decades and we are excited to continue it! PRAY with us as Grade 5 presents a reverent, moving version of the Living Stations of the Cross. Then, we will PLAY! Bring a few dollars for games, ice cream treats, and a chance to throw a pie, or win a cake! All proceeds benefit Catholic Charities.
Check out our precious Kindergarten Bees reading & working with one another! 🐝 SMS is definitely the place to BEE…🤍💙
Profe Maria's students in grades K, 1, and 2 have been learning the Spanish words for different shapes recently, and did an activity making sweet treats using cookie cutters to create those shapes. It's always more fun to make, eat, and learn at the same time! #LearnSpanish
SMS 4th grader, Luca Picone had the amazing opportunity to be part of the upcoming film "Cabrini", & is featured in numerous scenes as an orphan boy! Much of the movie was filmed right here in Buffalo, and chronicles the life of Mother Cabrini, Patroness of Immigrants, and the first American citizen to be named a saint. Luca spent an entire summer working on set and the incredible memories will last him a lifetime! The movie opens to the public on 3/8, International Women’s Day.

These 8th graders may be wearing their High School sweatshirts, but their Varsity basketball season isn't over yet! Our Boys Varsity Bees are the Top Seed in the playoffs, taking on Nardin Sat., 3/9 at 1pm at St. Francis High School - come out and cheer them on! #goBEES
Students in Mrs. Whipple's sixth grade class spent some well-deserved time outside, working with tangrams after a quiz today!
The undefeated SMS Boys Varsity Bees cruised to a 48-19 win tonight past Christ the King. This game was extra special for our 8th graders as it was their final game of the regular season and they handed out roses to their parents to mark the occasion. Congrats Bees- we’re looking forward to watching you in the playoffs!💙🤍🐝🌹
Don't forget... if you ordered from our Fowler's Easter Candy Sale, pick up will be TOMORROW in Room 108 from 7:00 - 9:00 am or 2:00 - 4:30 pm.
Today is Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day! We showed Mr. Don & Mr. John how much we value all of their hard work by decorating their office. From shoveling snow to planting flowers, repairing what's broken, & managing to keep our entire campus clean and beautiful - thank you!
Lots of fresh air and time outside were enjoyed by SMS students of all ages today! Physical Education, Social Studies, and other classes were moved outside so students could enjoy the sunshine and warmer temperatures! #spring #sunshine #SMStheplacetoBEE
Mrs. Kotlik's Kindergartners added their names to our Lenten bulletin board this morning. Remember, you are SO LOVED! #LENT2024 #John3verse16
SMS Kindergartners have been counting to 100 by 1's & by 10's, & counting on from numbers less than 100! They used work mats to create 10 groups of 10, & made necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal. The children were very excited that they could eat their Math work today!
In celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday on 3/2, our Montessori students colored #CatInTheHat style hats with Profe Maria in Spanish class! Students had to listen and follow directions to color the stripes on the hat in the correct order using los colores "rojo" and "azul".
