| Thank You Mr. Hubbard!
"Thank you, Mr. Hubbard, for everything. Because of you, this School is a thriving community." "Thank you, Mr. Hubbard, for always greeting me with a smile and my name. It always made me feel like I belonged here." "Thank you for starting the SMBA! I learned so much by playing on these teams!" "Mr. Hubbard, You have made such an impact on my life. I am the person I am today because of you."
Our students honored Mr. Hubbard with personalized messages of thanks and special remembrances this week. Their Hands of Kindness filled the School entrance and halls leading to Mr. Hubbard's retirement celebration on Thursday. The evening was a wonderful homecoming for alumni, families and special friends of St. Michael's and was a joyous way to honor Mr. Hubbard and his legacy.
Click here to see some initial photos from the event and to read the touching "Fairytale of the Heart" poem (written by Gloria Williams Proakis) that was read to Mr. Hubbard.

Missing Anything?
Our Lost and Found has grown quite large. A quick look at the pile revealed numerous fleeces, North Face jackets and winter coats, Ugg snow boots, lacrosse sticks and sports equipment and more. We have Lost and Found items from Magic Dragon Day as well (sunglasses, towels, water bottles, etc.). PLEASE stop in and see if any of it is yours.
Lastly, we have a fondue pot, cookie sheet and electric coffee pot in the SMPA room. We will donate all Lost and Found at the end of School year.
