WEEKLY NEWS FROM ST. MARY’S September 16…..
Thank you all for keeping the traffic/streets (Monroe, Howard and Lincoln)
so safe for the students and for keeping the flow moving; it is very helpful.
REMINDER: Fridays ALL students are immediately picked-up at 2:15 OR else they will go into the After School Program. There are no exceptions to this.
No one is on duty (all are in a meeting) so either your child is leaving the school grounds or s/he must go to the extended care program. They cannot be outside unsupervised. Thank you for your cooperation.

Family ideas:
1)Let your child see you praying honestly—in both good and bad times.
2)This weekend at Mass will be the Gospel from Matthew 20: 8-15….good question to ask beforechurch is:
“If a kid joined your team toward the end of the season, would you think it was fair if s/he celebrated the
Championship game with you?” And after Mass ask, “IF God’s message is for everyone, regardless of their
background, what does that tell us about how we are called to treat others?”
