Registration is NOW OPEN for Winter Sports, After-School Enrichment Classes, The Little Mermaid Jr. Musical, and MS Extended Day
St. Michael's believes that important learning happens outside the classroom with purposeful exposure to a broad variety of activities and experiences. After-School Enrichment (ASE) activities, performing arts, and sports provide opportunities for students to explore many different interests and develop new passions.
NOW is the time to register for WINTER sports and SMBA, After-School Enrichments, the Middle School Little Mermaid Jr. musical, and Middle School Extended Day. We have lots of new and exciting opportunities available for our K-8 Dragons!
REGISTRATION CLOSES October 20. Don't miss out!

One True Thing
Every student I have encountered at St. Michael’s, whether age 4 or 14, has heard the same message from me. “If you remember nothing from this class,” I tell them, looking into each face, “if you learn nothing from chapel, nothing from our readings or discussions, if you remember nothing else I say to you, hear this one, true thing: You are a child of God. And there is nothing –nothing– you can do that will separate you from the love of God. I say it slowly and I say it seriously. And then I say it again...
