Art in the Community
The SunTrust Bank Art Gallery is home this month to 100 pieces of art representing our very creative St M students. If you head downtown to view the Christmas lights, families and the general public can view this artwork from December 3-30 at 919 East Main Street.

The Reason for the Season
As St. Michael's emphasizes the religious part of the Christmas season, gift giving at School is discouraged. On behalf of families, the SMPA provides funds for room parents to provide a class gift to all teachers.
