Happy Father’s Day to all of the incredible fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, stepfathers, and father figures in our St. Mary’s community!

Thank you for the love, guidance, faith, encouragement, and support you pour into your families each day. Your example helps shape the hearts and minds of our students in countless ways.

Today, we pray that God blesses all fathers and fills your day with the same joy and love you give so generously to others.

We would love to celebrate with you. Share your favorite Father’s Day photos in the comments and help us honor the amazing dads and father figures who make our community so special!

✨ Summer Glow! ✨

A huge thank you to St. Mary’s Men’s Club member, Norman McInnis, for the beautiful job he did refinishing our lobby floors!💙🤍

Norman is always so generous with his time and talents, helping us keep our historic tiled floors looking their very best. Because of his volunteer efforts, the first space that welcomes our students, families, alumni, and visitors shines a little brighter!

Our lobby is more than just an entrance. It is where countless school days begin, where families gather, and where visitors get their first glimpse of the St. Mary’s experience. We are so grateful to Norman for helping ensure it reflects the pride and care that make our school community so special.

Thank you, Norman, for sharing your gifts with St. Mary’s! ✝️

Stay tuned for more summer upgrades, coming soon!

Please join us in giving a warm St. Mary’s welcome to Mrs. Candice Fox, who will be serving as our Pre-K4 Assistant for the 2026–2027 school year!

Mrs. Fox brings nearly 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, including educational environments as a teacher’s assistant and in school food service, where she prepared meals for students each day. Throughout her career, she has developed a passion for helping children learn, grow, and build confidence while creating an environment where they feel supported, encouraged, and valued.

She is CPR certified and trained in anaphylaxis (epinephrine) administration, helping ensure the safety and well-being of the students in her care.

Mrs. Fox and her husband have two daughters, Kaylie and Layla. Layla will be a 7th grader at St. Mary’s this year, and Kaylie will be a sophomore at McGill-Toolen. As a family, they are active members of St. Mary’s Parish and have experienced firsthand the kindness, faith, and welcoming spirit that make this community so special.

Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, visiting Disney, and cheering on her daughters in all of their activities.

Although this will be her first year at St. Mary’s School, she already feels connected to the community through the parish and is excited to deepen those relationships as part of our school family. She looks forward to meeting students and families and beginning this exciting new chapter.

We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Fox to our Pre-K4 team and know she will be a wonderful addition to the St. Mary’s family!

We wrapped up the school year with our teacher luncheon, “Dipping Out to Summer.” ☀️💙🤍

As we officially head into summer break, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to our PTO President, Colleen Gould, for her incredible leadership over the last two years. She has played such a pivotal role in making sure our teachers feel supported, celebrated, and appreciated in so many thoughtful ways.

We are also so grateful to everyone who worked alongside her to help grow and strengthen our PTO. The love and support poured into our school community does not go unnoticed.

St. Mary’s teachers are officially on summer break, and we are ending this year feeling very loved and very thankful!
