Being a Ledger Leader means defining and continually demonstrating our core values of Faith, Learning, Leadership, Respect, Responsibility and Community.  Our teachers have submitted students for recognition they feel exhibit these values.  The categories for recognition from the middle school are 6th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade. The four categories for high school were determined by subject groupings: 1) English/Foreign Language, 2) Math/Science/Business, 3) Art/Music/Phy. Ed. and 4) Social Studies/Theology.

Congratulations to the students chosen: Maggie Sitter (6th grade), Lauren Cobb (7th Grade), Fernando Moreno-Melo (8th Grade), Joseph Zimmer (9th grade, English/Foreign Language), Brady Welsch (9th grade, Art/Music/Phy. Ed), Lexi Kuechenberg (10th Grade, Social Studies/Theology), Emma Kirkwood (11th Grade, Math/Science/Business).

I personally would like to congratulate and say THANK YOU to these students for the impact they have on the SMSA community and for the efforts they make to lead by example!

Global Outreach Catholic Exchange Program is looking for Host Families for the 2018/2019 school year.
Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the life of another person, or to do something really great for someone whose life will never be the same because of you? We are looking for families to host Catholic students from East Central Europe for the 2018/2019 school year. These students will attend St. Mary’s Springs Academy High School. We need loving families to provide room, board, and transportation for the school year. By hosting the Global Outreach student, you will be offering a young person the chance of a lifetime. Your family will also be greatly impacted and enriched by generously opening yourselves to a Global Outreach student.

For more information, contact Barbara Tota-Boryczka, the Executive Director of the program at (920) 540-3085 or email boryczkabb@sbcglobal.net or Father Larry Seidl, the Spiritual Director of the program at (920) 412-0320 or ljseidl1949@gmail.com. Please check our website www.globaloutreachprogram.com to learn more about our mission to build civilization of love.
