It's Holiday Spirit Week!

Help us celebrate the holiday season during our Spirit Week, December 11-15.
See above for each day's festive apparel suggestions. (No PJ's, please.)  Ho! Ho! Ho!

We're In The Spirit!


With big smiles and joyful hearts, St. Michael's welcomed the holiday season in a BIG way this past week... with a memorable Christmas parade complete with grade-level floats, a tree lighting of a 16-foot tree, beautiful musical performances by the Fifth Grade Chorus and the Middle School Choir, the North Pole Post, and group caroling. What fun! (The floats knocked our socks off!)
We're in the spirit and hope you are, too! 

North Pole Post


It's not the holidays at St M without a spirited visit from everyone's favorite Elf! He has a "TAYLOR-ED" message for all of our Dragons to be SWIFT to drop off your letters to Santa in our North Pole Post in front of Hubbard Hall by December 19!
You'll see in THIS VIDEO that we caught the elf's latest hijinks on camera!  (P.S. We're quite sure ALL of our Dragons are on the NICE list!)

Annual Christmas Pageant


For many Dragon families and alumni, St. Michael's annual Christmas Pageant marks the beginning of the Christmas season. We are pleased to continue this cherished tradition which started at St M in the early 1970s.
This year, the pageant will be presented at two times for K-3 families (based on homerooms) on Tuesday, December 19, at 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. in the Perkinson Arts Center.
Kindergarten-Third Grade Families:
  • An important email (see below) was sent to you on Friday with must-read pageant details and dress code. 
  • Please read carefully. Thank you!
Note: All St M students will view the pageant dress rehearsal to experience this St M tradition.
