Thanksgiving Holiday


Gobble! Gobble! A reminder that St. Michael's will be CLOSED Wednesday-Friday, November 23-25, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Extended Day is also closed. 

Emails and calls received during that time will be addressed on Monday, November 28. Wishing all of our Dragons a safe and blessed holiday!  

It’s the MOST Wonderful Time of the Year!


Mark your calendars for St. Michael’s Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Parade, Thursday, December 1. Campus opens at 5:30 p.m., with the parade launching at 6 p.m. More details coming soon!

The fun and festive evening, hosted by the St M Board of Trustees and the St. Michael’s Parents’ Association (SMPA), includes a parade around The Green with grade-level floats, choral performances, caroling, and the lighting of the Christmas tree. You won't want to miss it! 
For those new to St M, enjoy this highlight video from last year's event.

Program Coordinator Position

St. Michael’s Episcopal Church is seeking a half-time Program Director to oversee significant parish events, and to mine opportunities for the church to engage in the community. Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills needed. Flexible hybrid schedule, and most Sunday mornings.
It would be a great fit for a St. Michael’s parent who wants the flexibility to be available for school children, and who has been thinking about getting involved in a church.
