Faculty News
Last week, Middle School science teacher Mrs. Farleigh shared with the faculty that she’s decided to move on from St. Michael’s. Over the past three years, Mrs. Farleigh’s warm personality and generous spirt have enriched the lives of her students and ingratiated her to all of us. Mrs. Farleigh has deep roots locally, having attended St. Michael’s, Trinity and William & Mary. She is looking forward to spending more time with her family, but here at School, however, we will miss her. Please join us in thanking Mrs. Farleigh for her dedication and wishing her the best by clicking here.

Friendly Reminder: Lower School Carpool Safety
A friendly reminder that we really need your help in making our carpool line safe for children. - Please support our faculty and staff by honoring their traffic management requests.
- Adults with children who are not St. Michael's students should not abandon the carpool line to congregate on the blacktop behind the church. This area needs to be restricted to adults who are waiting without children as children cannot be adequately supervised in this area. (Thank you too for leaving pets in your car.)

Sharing Kindness
Mrs. Mitchell’s First Grade class is on a kindness mission to be kind to our Earth! The class celebrated Earth Day (April 22) by making “Be Kind to Our Earth” posters to place around the school. The class worked in groups to make these posters with slogans like “use both sides of the paper”, “carpool”, “don’t liter”, “turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth”, and “recycle." They also rolled up their sleeves, put on gloves and picked up trash around our School.
