REMOTE LEARNING EDITION

Celebrating Our Class of 2020

"Your life is your story and and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fullfill your own purpose and potential." (K. Washington)

Three cheers for our next 12 featured graduates above! We know great things are ahead for you all. Remember... Once a Dragon, ALWAYS a Dragon!

(Stay tuned for more high school decision photos next week.)

NEW THIS WEEK:

A Middle School Meet-Up at 4 p.m. on Friday!

Summer Camp Changes

Based on mandates by Governor Northam with regards to social distancing, we have made the difficult decision to cancel in-person camps for the month of June (the weeks of June 15, 22, and 29).

That said, our camp team has worked hard to pivot and develop engaging virtual programming to meet family needs and we are excited to launch REMOTE CAMP PROGRAMMING options. Separate communications regarding our virtual summer camp plans will be sent this week. Families who registered for these sessions will receive more information about refunds or applying credits to participate in virtual offerings.

As we await more information from the Governor about the re-opening of Virginia, our plan is to announce on June 5 the status of the July camp sessions.

Please contact Ashley Buffy with any questions.

Show Your Dragon Pride!

For the rest of this school year, Dragon Dress days are now EVERY Friday! Whether blue or white, show your school spirit and wear your St M spiritwear with pride. Send us/tag your pics with #STMDragonsUnited. Go Dragons!
