Shood Service Outreach

Thank you for your support of our second Shood shoe and foot care drive. This week, our Middle School Dragons assembled 200 foot care bags containing Chapstick, foot powder, nail clippers, and handmade cards. Our school community also donated over 200 pairs of shoes! These items will greatly help those in need in RVA because of your kindness and generosity. 

NOON Dismissal on Friday

A friendly reminder that Friday, March 6, is a noon dismissal day as St M begins Spring Break. The School will be closed March 9-13. Have a fun and restful vacation! 

Lower School Technology 

Grade 2-5 families received via backpacks information regarding how St. Michael's utilizes technology in classrooms. A reminder that 3rd-5th grade families have a Lower School Technology Use Contract that must be signed and returned to the School.
