Let's All Pull Together for St M on Giving Day: May 15!
Show your St. Michael's pride by making an Annual Fund gift on Giving Day! Will you pull for Team BLUE? Or rally for Team WHITE?
A St. Michael’s education nurtures the mind, the heart, AND the spirit—building confident learners, compassionate leaders, and curious explorers. Every dollar makes a difference, fueling the experiences, teachers, and programs that shape our Dragons' bright futures!

Time to Find Library Books!
Summer break is right around the corner, which means it's time to start looking for those missing and overdue library books.
Losing books is a part of library life. But we're hopeful that most of the missing titles can be found and returned so that we can keep our wonderful St. Michael’s libraries fully stocked and ready for reading! If a book is truly lost, as some will be, there is no expectation for families to replace or repay the cost of the book.
Book Return Due Dates:
- Lower School books must be returned by May 19
- Middle School books were due by Friday, May 9 (to accommodate the library renovation preparation). If you still have books out, please return them ASAP. Thanks!
