Thank you to everyone who joined us last week to celebrate the completion of the Liu Family Field and our new outdoor play spaces! 🎉 It was a beautiful dedication, and we're so grateful to so many members of our community who came out to celebrate with us.

We were especially honored to name three special spaces on campus officially:
🌟 Liu Family Field
🌟 Ratner Family Playground
🌟 Omid Family Sports Court

These beautiful new spaces reflect the generosity and commitment of our St. Mary's community. Because of your support, our students will have new opportunities to play, connect, grow, and create memories together for generations to come.

Thank you for showing up for St. Mary's and helping us bring this vision for our campus to life. We loved celebrating this milestone with you. 💙

New offerings: Middle School Chorus, Wind and String Ensembles, MS Orchestra, Music Exploratory (songwriting, DJing, digital composition), and Amp'd Up -- our student rock band. "When students perform together, they learn to listen-not just musically, but to one another. That's where the magic happens," says Mr. Connor.

Every child deserves to feel like they matter. School Counselor Kari Sylvester has introduced the concept of 'mattering' -- the understanding that feeling seen, heard, and valued is foundational to a child's confidence, resilience, and academic success. At St. Mary's, we build world-sized hearts by ensuring every student knows their presence makes a difference.

Last fall the Falcon Theatre Company brought The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to life. Students designed foam armor, built forested sets, 3D-printed details, and crafted animal-inspired masks using the Design Center's Tool Shed. 'When Lucy opens the wardrobe doors, it's not just a prop -- it's an invitation to believe.' Read all about it in our Fall 2025 Magazine 👉 https://www.smaa.org/about/news.

This fall, The Falcon Theatre Company is proud to present The Nightmare Before Christmas at our 5th Annual Winter Market in December. Stay tuned - more information coming soon!
