Countdown to Our Virtual Magic Dragon DaySpring is in the air and Magic Dragon Day is upon us. While we will not be gathering together at the Maypole this spring, we will still honor the spirit of Magic Dragon Day, cheer for blue and white, and celebrate our vibrant Dragon community.
Starting Monday, we invite you to join us for a host of fun virtual Spirit Week and Magic Dragon Day activities. We can't wait to see your Dragon pride and creativity on display! Be sure to share photos on social media with #STMSpiritWeek or email Anne McCoy at amccoy@stmschool.net for your chance to win a Nintendo Switch Lite.
Then, on Saturday, May 2, join us for our Virtual Magic Dragon Day. Stay tuned for details. Go Blue! Go White! Go Dragons!

A Dragon Baby!
It is an exciting time for music teacher Philip Tickle and his wife Chelsea as they welcomed their first child, Michael Sutherland, into the world on April 23.
While they say that Michael was named after his maternal grandfather, we can't help but think that St. Michael's played a small hand in this sweet baby Dragon's name. (Just kidding!)
Please join us in extending congratulations and best wishes to Philip and Chelsea. Babies are certainly one of life's greatest gifts!

Thank you to all those who have joined us for our chapel services!

Mr. Hansen will be reaching out for help with readings and prayers. If you have pictures of things you're doing at home, videos of your child playing a particular song, or other media that might be helpful in developing these, please send an email to: ( chansen@stmschool.net).

Mr. Hansen has compiled a site with resources for your family, prayer and meditation, ways to help others in RVA, religion class resources (optional) and a page to reach out about prayer requests or concerns for your family during this time apart. Or, if you would prefer, Mr. Hansen will be posting links from this site to his Google Classroom (Code: cni5f7k).
