Save the Dates for our Holiday Pop Up Shop

For the third year, the SMPA is excited to host a St M Pop-Up Shop on December 4 & 5 in the Dragons' Den in Hubbard Hall!
We have lots of exciting ALL NEW St. Michael's-themed items planned --think St M ties, scarves and bow ties, polka dot Christmas ornaments, Yeti tumblers, journals, soccer balls, acrylic trays, pennants, scrunchies, fresh hat and apparel designs specifically for the pop-up shop, and more! 
Our Holiday Pop-Up Shop is a perfect way to show your DRAGON PRIDE while picking up St M stocking stuffers and holiday gifts! Stay tuned for details!   

Dress For The Weather

Thank you for insisting your child(ren) wear coats/jackets on days when the weather is below 45 degrees. Students go out for recess no matter how cold it is and we have many children going outside without the appropriate clothing. 

SCA Animal Shelter Supply Drive

The Middle School Student Council Association animal shelter supply drive continues through November 21, to benefit the animals at Richmond Animal Care and Control. Click HERE for more info. New and used items accepted! 

Food Drive This Week

The St M canned food drive continues this week- Chapel on Wednesday, November 20, to benefit the St. Michael's Church food pantry. 
Most needed items: canned vegetables (any beans, corn, green peas), canned fruit, canned soup, old-fashioned quick cook oatmeal (not instant packs), mac & cheese, pasta/noodles.  K-5th grade will collect donations in their homerooms and 6th-8th grade will collect them in the library. 

Send In Your Box Tops!

Each box top will raise 10 cents for our school. The program begins November 1 and runs through December 17.  The winning grade will be able to celebrate with both a dress down day and ice cream party before the holiday break.
