With Grateful Hearts
To our St. Michael's Community: Our Rooted and Reaching Day of Giving was a tremendous success thanks to your generosity, volunteer spirit, and unwavering belief in our School’s mission. The funds raised will strengthen programs, expand opportunities, and help turn what’s already wonderful about St. Michael’s into something truly extraordinary—supporting faculty growth, student experiences, innovation, and all that makes our community shine even brighter. Rooted in a community that believes in what we do, we’re reaching new heights because of you. With grateful hearts, we THANK YOU!
P.S. Congrats to SEVENTH GRADE as they had the highest parent participation on our Day of Giving, so they have won the opportunity to dye Mr. Gregg's hair St. Michael's BLUE at the October 30 Pep Rally.
