Hip Hip Hurray for Magic Dragon Day! It was a beautiful day for Magic Dragon Day! Our Lower School Campus was filled with so much energy, laughter and fun. From our kindergarteners dancing around the Maypole and a friendly, competitive Tug of War, to scrumptious cake walk cakes, goofy photo booth pictures and dunk tank dares, we hope everyone enjoyed this annual St M event.
St. Michael's would like to extend our tremendous appreciation and thanks to the 2015 MDD chairs, Madeline Gorman and Alison Roussy, and their fabulous team of volunteers for making Magic Dragon Day such a special event. THANK YOU!!

Introducing the St M Mountain Biking Program!
We are excited to announce that, in the Fall of 2015, St. Michael's will be offering a Mountain Biking Program for students in grades 6-8, and possibly grade 5, at the Singleton Campus. The Singleton Campus, with its 70 acres of rolling hills and woods, is the ideal setting for mountain biking. We are pleased to be partnering with Peak Experience, RVA's expert in outdoor sports and adventure activities, to offer this outdoor opportunity to our students. New bike trails are being laid out on Campus by Peak Experience.
We cordially invite interested rising 6-8th grade students and families to attend an informational session on the program on Thursday, May 7 at 3 p.m. at the Singleton Campus Great Hall. While sign-ups will take place at a later date, this is an opportunity for you to learn about the program and for the School to gauge interest. Click here for more info.

May I Have This Dance?
The Middle School Semi-Formal dance is Friday, May 15th from 7-9 p.m. $7.00 at the door. Attire: Girls: dresses or skirts; Boys: dress shirt, tie and pants (no jeans please). Dust off your dancing shoes and let's have some fun!
Please note that cell phones are discouraged at School dances. This helps to ensure the privacy of all students attending and limits the urge to take photos or video while at the dance. If a student needs to bring a cell phone to the dance, the phone should be kept in the student’s locker during the event and can be retrieved once the dance is over. In the event of emergency, parents can contact their children by calling Mr. Jones directly at 804-387-0773 during dance hours. Students will have access to the conference room phone as well should they need to make a call during the dance. Thanks for your understanding.
