Basilica School of Saint Mary

As we wrap up another incredible school year, our students have been celebrating with end-of-the-year parties full of laughter, friendship, and fun. This week, we also showcased the amazing talents of our students during the Variety Show, where they wowed us with dances, songs, instrumental performances, comedy bits, skits, gymnastics routines, and so much more.

Thank you to our teachers, parents, and everyone who helped organize these special activities and create lasting memories for our Saints, Stewards, and Scholars. What a beautiful way to celebrate a year filled with growth, joy, and community.

Congratulations and welcome to our next generation of National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) members! 📃📚

We are proud to recognize these students for their commitment to academic excellence, leadership, and service.

St. Scholastica, pray for us.

Last week, our students came together in their Saintly Families to join forces for some friendly competition during Field Day!

We are so proud of our students for demonstrating Christ-like sportsmanship, team spirit, and talent. Many participated in relay races, water activities, and team-building activities.

Congratulations to the following teams:
Field Day Championship Paddle Winner - St. Clare of Assisi
Sportsmanship Award - St. Michael
Most Spirited Team Cheer - St. Katherine Drexel

A big thank you to Mrs. Amy Bruce, our Physical Education Teacher, and all our parent volunteers, especially Mrs. Carey, who assisted in making this day a huge success!

The countdown to summer is on! ☀️🍕

Yesterday, our third graders enjoyed a well deserved end-of-the-year pizza party filled with friends and fun. A special thank you to our teachers and parents for helping make this joyful celebration possible. We are so grateful for your support in creating memorable moments for our students as we wrap up another wonderful school year!

Congratulations to our littlest saints!

Last week, our PreK students graduated and are now on their way to Kindergarten. Our wonderful team of teachers and instructional assistants chose an adjective to describe each little saint, and that word was placed on a hero’s cape for each student to proudly wear.

We are so proud of them for completing PreK and grateful to their teachers, instructional assistants, parents, and the Heavenly Father for guiding them every step of the way.

We know this is just the beginning—and we can’t wait to see how their stories unfold!

Holy Mary, our hope, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.

Yesterday, our eighth graders celebrated their final All School Mass at The Basilica of Saint Mary. They processed into the church as we all sang and rejoiced. We will continue to pray for them and their future endeavors.

Additionally, our seventh and eighth grade altar servers each received a blessed pin to add to their blazers in recognition for their dedication and service to our Lord.

Thank you to Fr. Hathaway for celebrating the Mass, blessing the altar server pins, and sharing words of wisdom with our students.

Graduation Week is officially underway! 🎓✨

On Monday, our 8th graders enjoyed popsicles with their kindergarten buddies after their class retreat, sharing laughs and making memories with some of their youngest friends at the Basilica School of Saint Mary.

On Tuesday, they gathered together for a special cereal breakfast as the countdown to graduation continues.

With only three days left as BSSM students, we’re cherishing these final moments and celebrating all they’ve accomplished. 💙💛

Last week, we enjoyed another musical night full of singing and instrument playing.

Students from third to eighth grade demonstrated their musical talents by singing sacred, American folk and secular music and playing the clarinet, flute, oboe, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and percussion at our Spring Choir and Band Concert.

Many thanks to our instructors: Mrs. Luechtefeld and Mr. Tolbert for their leadership, encouragement, and patience while guiding and preparing our students.

Keep up the great work!

St. Cecilia, pray for us.
