St. Mary School Swormville -

Where was Holly today?? Holly was very interested in the miracle of life in the Montessori Children's House! #smsthplacetobee #Montessori

SMS Parents! Our Apex Fundraiser is underway and we need your help! This fundraiser is designed not to burden parents. Rather, Apex's powerful Share Wizard allows you to reach out to family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, business associates etc who are willing to help our school add much needed security improvements. Other local Buffalo catholic schools have experienced great results in their Apex fundraisers by using the Share Wizard by having students get 10-20 "shares". Here is a video of the local Apex team showing you how to use the Share Wizard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAQthMkYqow Thank you once again for your support of St Mary's School!

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗲𝘅 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀: ADAPT To adapt means we are able to adjust to different situations, especially when they’re out of our control! 𝗔𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿: Talk with your child about a situation they have gone through that required they adapt or change their behaviors or expectations. Do they sometimes struggle with new experiences? What are some things that will help them adjust and feel more comfortable? #ApexLeadershipCo #ApexXFACTOR #BuildingLeaders

Did our 3rd grade class really get to turn Gregarious into a mummy today just for sharing their Apex info???? I think Gregarious learned a lesson in how to ADAPT today too 🤔

The St. Mary’s Bowling league held their final game of the season today. Mr. Urbanski, who coordinated the league shared, "The kiddos had a great season… so much improvement this year!" Thank you for coordinating this wonderful intramural sport for us, Jeremy!

WHERE AT SMS IS HOLLY? Holly was upstairs visiting the 4th grade today while they were reading and then saw them off safely to Religion class. She is the best! 🐾

LEADERSHIP LESSON DAY 1 - FEARLESS Over the next 2 weeks Apex will take students on a quest in search of the key to becoming great leaders and learn some important habits along the way. We’ll highlight a different leadership habit each day so families can continue the conversation at home. Our first Apex leadership habit is FEARLESS. Being fearless means we’re willing to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone. It means we’re willing to take the first step into the unknown, even if we fail! At Home Conversation Starter: Ask your child if they have ever been afraid to try something new because they thought they wouldn’t be able to do it well. Talk to them about ways to break down a big challenge into smaller pieces so it is easier to overcome. #ApexLeadershipCo #ApexXFACTOR #BuildingLeaders

We kicked off our week with APEX learning about leadership with a pep rally today. Be sure to ask your child about it.

Yearbook orders are due by May 19th. Use this link to get the form: https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:94b993a4-b514-3253-964f-6df8be1e024f

As they exit their pew, St. Mary second graders kneel before the Blessed Sacrament on First Friday

Grade 2 reverently led this morning's Mass by reading the Scripture, offering intentions, and presenting the Offertory gifts.

Mrs. Egleston, Director of Catholic Education for St. Mary's Faith Community, visited our SMS Kindergarten classroom this morning and taught a beautiful lesson on our Blessed Mother, Mary. The children had so much fun listening to a story, making flowers for Mary, coloring a Mary “statue” and crowning Mary in our classroom!

A note of thanks from the Spring for Success auction gala committee: 🌼🥂🌸 Thank you and congratulations to all of our bidders and winners from last night! As many of you already know there was an issue processing payments last night after the auction closed, tech-support is still looking into it, some people have been able to submit their payment through the text2bid system using AmEx cards, but others have not. More information will be sent out to all of last night’s winners very soon regarding how they can cash out for their winning items. Items may be picked up at the parish office Tuesday, May 2 - Friday, May 5 from 9 AM to 4 PM. Thank you so much for all of your support and patience, your contributions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for helping us “Spring for Success”!
