Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for partnering with us to make an awesome Catholic Schools Week! It is exciting to see how excited the students are to give to the food pantry, celebrating and learning about our Nation, community, vocations and each other as well as dressing up in special ways throughout the week. SMSA, within a family atmosphere, continues to offer an impactful and special education to the students it serves. Our education is at its very best when all stakeholders are focused on our mission oriented outcome. St. Mary’s Springs Academy, rooted in Christ’s teaching, academic excellence, and service to Church and community, prepares students to meet global challenges and become leaders for tomorrow!
As always, I appreciate your support and understanding of the responsibility in partnering with us to keep learning happening on the Ledge.
God Bless,
Steven Kelnhofer
Valentine’s Parties – Spread the LOVE, just not the germs! Valentine’s Day is a perfect time for an extra boost of togetherness – masked and socially distanced, of course.
We’re asking all of our Ledgers to adhere to the following Valentine’s Day Safety Protocols:
- Grades P3- 5th grade please have your child bring their valentines to school on Monday, February 8.
- To support the mitigation of Covid-19, we will let them sit for 72 hours before the students open the shared Valentines for each other.
- Provide pre-packaged treats only.
- If the Valentines you intend to share come with an envelope, please do not lick them shut but use a tuck or sticker method to seal them.
- Valentines will be passed out in an orderly fashion to limit exposure.
This is a nice reminder to be grateful for even the very little things. Thank you for your continued efforts and attention to safety. We’re in this together!
