It's Teacher Appreciation Week!
Our amazing and talented faculty ignite imagination, nurture young minds, and go ABOVE and BEYOND every day to bring learning to life for our students. Join us in celebrating them during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Let's shower the teachers this week with acts of kindness! Please encourage your dragon to write a card, create a piece of art, or even pick some flowers to share with teachers. (The week also includes daily teacher treats and a boxed luncheon.)
With grateful hearts, The St. Michael's Parents' Association

SHOOD Drive Begins!
(March 22-April 11) As you may have seen recently on our social media channels, our School is excited to continue our partnership with SHOOD, founded by St. Michael's parent Robin Telfian. In April, SHOOD turns 5 and since 2017 has given away over 10,000 pairs of shoes locally to those in need.
This year, we are excited to accept donations for a new initiative started in 2019 called "Shooding" Stars (Flyer Link) which helps equip runners at inner-city high schools with spikes and shoes. We will be collecting the following items below by grade level to go in "race day bags" for these athletes. On March 26th, our Middle School students will be putting together First Aid Kits for these bags as well. Thank you in advance for supporting this wonderful organization and important cause!
- Grades K-1: Nail clippers
- Grades 2-3: Small foot powder
- Grades 4-5: Chapstick
- Middle School: Small containers of sunscreen OR gently-used running shoes/track spikes
