At this week’s Chapel, our students learned about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur from special guests, Lower School Counselor Erica Shapiro and School Nurse Melissa Baumholtz, who joined Chaplain Dr. Brock for a thoughtful conversation about the High Holy Days and their own traditions.

Together, we reflected on the power of community, forgiveness, caring for one another, and the opportunity to begin again. 💜

Wishing our community a wonderful three-day weekend and a peaceful, meaningful Yom Kippur to all who observe.

Last week, our beloved Room 2 Waddles the tortoise escaped her outdoor area and made it all the way to Field 1, proving that the myth about tortoises being slow definitely does not apply to her! 🐢

As soon as word spread, our SMH community jumped into action. Students, faculty, and staff kept their eyes open and searched across campus for our speedy little escape artist.

A very special shout-out to our SMH Hero, Kai, who spotted her far from home and helped bring her back safely! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined the search, it truly took a village.

Waddles is now safe and sound in Room 2, where we imagine she is already planning her next adventure. We’ll be keeping a much closer eye on her! 💜

This morning, members of the Saint Mary’s Hall community gathered at the flagpole in a spirit of remembrance and gratitude.

Twenty-five years ago today, nearly 3,000 lives were lost in the attacks of September 11, 2001. We remember those who died, the families and communities who continue to carry their loss, and the first responders, members of our armed forces, and countless others who responded with extraordinary courage and service.

We also remember what followed: neighbors caring for neighbors, strangers helping one another, and communities across our nation finding strength in a profound sense of shared humanity and common purpose.

Remembrance gives us an opportunity not only to reflect on what was lost, but also to consider what we carry forward. We are reminded of the strength we find in community, of what we share with one another, and of our responsibility to care for and serve those around us.

Twenty-five years later, may we honor the lives lost that day with gratitude for those who served, compassion for those who still carry its loss, and a renewed commitment to caring for one another and the communities we share.

Prehistoric timeline, but make it colorful! 🎨

This summer, Fine Arts 3D and Art History Instructor Mr. Cassie embarked on an incredible journey through China, visiting Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi’an, Luoyang and Beijing while exploring potential destinations for the SMH Global Travel program. ✈️
 
Made possible through the Peggy Pitman Mays Grant, which supports educators in learning new skills, studying special topics and pursuing creative projects that enhance the student experience at SMH, this journey brought the Art History curriculum to life.
 
Along the way, Mr. Cassie experienced firsthand the art and architecture that shape his curriculum while gaining new perspectives on how we can broaden and rethink traditional narratives of art history.
 
We’re so grateful he’s bringing these experiences back to the Hall, and we can’t wait to hear more about his adventures and what they might inspire for our students! 💜

It’s FriYAY, and our Kindergartners had the perfect way to start the weekend!

Our Barons had a great time in PE, jumping through obstacles, working together, and using their math skills to count jumps along the way.

What a fun way to jump-start the weekend! 💜

Last Friday, our seniors woke up before the crack of dawn for one of SMH’s most beloved traditions: Senior Sunrise! 🌅
In pajamas and with coffee at hand, our Barons gathered to soak in a special morning together, just for them. 💜 Here’s to a great year, Class of 2027!

We began the week with our first Chapel of the year, a longstanding tradition and a special opportunity for our community to pause, think together, engage in meaningful conversation, and reflect on the mission and values that guide us.

In Lower School, our Barons gave a warm welcome to a special group of students experiencing Chapel for the very first time: our Form 1 students!

Dr. Brock and Dr. K kicked off the first Chapel by reviewing our Chapel norms and reminding us of our mission to grow in character, lead with integrity, thrive in college, and find fulfillment in life. They also reflected on our Statement of Spirituality, which welcomes and values the religious and spiritual backgrounds of all students, families, faculty, and staff.

They also encouraged us to live our values, come prepared, and be engaged with both our minds and our hearts. Chapel ended with the beautiful reminder that begins every Monday at the Hall: “Today is going to be a GREAT day!” 💜
