Week of April 25, 2021

We've Got Spirit, How About YOU?! It's Spirit Week!

We've reimagined Magic Dragon Day this year to encompass a week of the best parts of our annual St M tradition: field games, friendships, spirited competition, DragonGrams, sweet treats, and, of course, the beloved Maypole.
This pandemic school year is defined by the way our community continues to rally, rise to the challenge, and support one another. In honor of this, our 2021 Spirit Week is all about school unity and celebrating our Blue and White pride!
Click the button below for the full schedule for this week and be sure to share it with your children. We kick off on Monday with Dragon Pride Day! 
(Kindergarten and First Grade families, click HERE for the email sent on April 23 with the plan for the Maypole dances, dress code, etc.)
