Students in grades 6-8 had the opportunity to join our St. Mary's High School counterparts for Mass with Bishop Mike this morning at SMHS. After Mass, Bishop Mike shared that he is so proud of the excellent work of St. Mary's and he awarded all of St. Mary's a "Bishop's Holiday" for tomorrow, September 18.

To be clear - there will be no school tomorrow for all grades Pre-K through 8th, September 18, 2026, due to Bishop's Day Off. We do apologize for the short notice and for any childcare inconvenience this may cause. However, please be proud of the upward trajectory and excellent work of St. Mary's .... and look for us on Channel 7 news tonight! Senior reporter Eileen Buckley interviewed Principal Olejniczak, Superintendent Dimitroff, and Bishop Mike and will be sharing an update on the progress of St. Mary's Middle School.

Congratulations to the entire St. Mary's family, and let's continue growing our special community.
