MS Robotics Update  

In a continued effort to inspire and encourage the innovative spirit of our Middle School Dragons, St. Michael's is happy to announce that we will again be fielding Middle School robotics teams to compete in the 2024-2025 VEX IQ robotics competition!
All new and returning Middle School students have the opportunity to participate. The School has provided information about the competition and program options in a letter sent to rising 6th-8th grade families this past week. These options are listed below with registration details included. We are looking forward to the upcoming season and can’t wait to watch our Dragons robotics teams soar. St. Michael's has a long history of robotics success!

Time to Find Library Books!


Summer break is right around the corner, which means it's time to start looking for those missing and overdue library books. Mrs. Bryan-Diehl and Mrs. Carpenter are asking all St M students and families to put on their sleuthing hats, pull out their flashlights, lift up the couch cushions, and help find some books! 
If a book is truly lost, as some will be, there is no expectation for families to replace or repay the cost of the book. Losing books is a part of library life. But we're hopeful that most of the missing titles can be found and returned so that we can keep our wonderful St. Michael’s libraries fully stocked and ready for reading!
