St. Mary’s Parish School

🎓 Congratulations to our 8th Grade Class of 2026! 💐

Surrounded by loved ones, our graduates marked this milestone in their education with Mass and a ceremony in the church. Students were honored for their accomplishments and reflected on their years at St. Mary's Parish School with a class poem.

As the graduating class moves on to its next chapter, we offer them our prayers, congratulations, and best wishes. We are also grateful for the teachers and staff members who have accompanied these students throughout the years and for all they have contributed to our school community.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! May God continue to guide and bless you in the years ahead. Once a Saint, always a Saint! 💚💛🙏✨

☀️🎉 Happy last day of school! 😎

Excitement was palpable today as our students celebrated the end of the school year. From hugs and high-fives with Fr. Jon after Mass to time on the playground and pizza with friends, today was a joyful close to another wonderful year at St. Mary's Parish School.

Thank you to our students, families, faculty, and staff for a fantastic year. Have a safe, happy, and well-deserved summer! 💚💛

💐💚 As part of this morning's Awards Ceremony, we also took time to recognize two beloved members of our school community, Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Pellan-Shea, as they prepare for retirement.

Together, they have dedicated decades of service to St. Mary's Parish School and Catholic education, touching the lives of countless students, families, and colleagues along the way. We thank them for their leadership, faith, compassion, and commitment to our mission, and we wish them every blessing in the years ahead. 🙏

🏆✨ This morning we held our Awards Ceremony for Grades 1–7, recognizing the many ways our students have grown, achieved, and served throughout the school year.

Students were honored for academic achievement across all subjects, participation in clubs and activities including the Dan Kane Singers, Ski & Snowboard Club, Drama Club, and Girls on the Run, service through the National Junior Honor Society, fundraising efforts, and dedication to our parish community through altar serving. Scholarships for the coming school year were also awarded.

We are proud of all our students for sharing their gifts. Congratulations to this year's award recipients, and a special thank you to our teachers, families, and donors for their continued support! 💚💛

🍦☀️ With temps soaring into the 90s today, a visit from Lil' Whip (Mr. Whippey Ice Cream) was the perfect way to help our students stay cool and celebrate the second-to-last day of school! 😎

💚💛 This week our staff gathered in the high school cafeteria to celebrate and honor Mrs. Lambert on her retirement after more than three decades of dedicated service to St. Mary's Parish School.

As our school counselor, Mrs. Lambert touched the lives of generations of students and families through her compassion, wisdom, faith, and unwavering commitment to helping every child grow and succeed. Whether offering guidance, encouragement, a listening ear, or simply a caring presence, she always put our students first.

Mrs. Lambert's faith has been at the heart of her work, and her love for our school community has been evident in everything she has done. While we will miss her greatly, we are grateful for the lasting impact she has made on our school and wish her every blessing in this next chapter.

Thank you, Mrs. Lambert, for your years of faithful service. You will always be a part of the St. Mary's family. 🙏💐

🍬✨ Last day for 8th Grade! 🍬✨

Our soon-to-be graduates marked their final day at St. Mary's Parish School with the traditional Grade 8 walkthrough and time together as a class before tomorrow's big day. Please keep the Class of 2026 in your prayers! 💚💛

⚾☀ K–8 enjoyed a sunny day cheering on the Westfield Starfires! Hearing the crack of the bat, watching high flies soar into the outfield, getting soaked by teachers armed with fully loaded water cannons—all part of another great end-of-year trip for our students. A sure sign that summer is just around the corner!
