Throwback Thursday!
🐟 What an amazing way to wrap up the school year! Our 5th graders had an absolute blast on their end-of-year field trip to Schramm Park - exploring, learning more about Nebraska's ecosystems, and even catching some fish! 🌟💚

🍎 This week, eleven St. Margaret Mary teachers dedicated the first days of summer to International Baccalaureate training, deepening their practice in service of our Catholic mission and the students entrusted to our care.
We are grateful for their commitment to excellence, faith, and lifelong learning. 💚

🫶 Thank you to all the parents who joined us for our Parent Input Sessions to share your voice and hear our vision, as we partner and help shape the future of SMM together.

🎉 Congratulations to our pastor, Fr. Jim Keiter, celebrating his Silver Jubilee today, 25 years of priestly ordination!
Thank you for saying 'yes' to God's calling. We are grateful to have you as our faithful shepherd at St. Margaret Mary!

🙏 May God continue to bless your ministry as you serve with faith, hope, and love.

📣 Please join us TONIGHT for our LAST Parent Input Session, 6:30-8:00pm in the Suneg Center! If you weren't able to attend one of our May sessions, here is your chance! (This session was rescheduled from May 18)

📚 Shape Tomorrow’s Classroom!
Help shape the future of SMM School by sharing your input on our School Master Plan.

🇺🇸 Greetings from Washington, D.C.!
Our 7th/8th Graders and chaperones are having a fabulous time exploring our nation's capital and watching history come alive before their eyes! 🏛

📜 Visits already to the Pentagon, Library of Congress, Capitol, Smithsonian Museums, Mass at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, and several other memorials and monuments have left powerful impressions on our students.
more adventures await with two days left!

Thank you to our wonderful chaperones - teachers and parents - and all families for making these memories possible. 💚

🤠 4th Graders put away technology and their daily comforts for their Pioneer Day on May 14!
They spent time at stations making their own butter, leather bracelets, crafts, playing 'pioneer games' like marbles/jacks, and helping to weed/plant in the Monarch Meadow! 👒

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, we honor and pray for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

🙏 Please join us for 9:00 a.m. Mass. This will be the only Mass offered today.

Please note that the parish and school offices will be closed in observance of the national holiday.
