Support the SMS Preschool

Goal: $250

Your generous donations will directly benefit our preschoolers. Funds raised will be used for a new Classroom Carpet. It's where we gather for circle time, stories, songs, group learning, and countless moments of connection.

A fresh new carpet would provide a safer, more comfortable surface for sitting and learning, improve classroom cleanliness, and create a welcoming space that supports both learning and play.

This upgrade would directly benefit every child who steps into our classroom, helping create an environment that feels warm, inviting, and ready for learning each day.

Thank you for helping us create a classroom where our children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Support the 3rd and 4th Grade Classroom

Goal:$350

Funds raised will be used for Classroom Mailboxes, Curriculum Storage, Manipulative Storage, and New Chapter Books. Classroom Mailboxes will help keep all student handouts organized and easy to manage. They provide each student with a designated space for papers, newsletters, graded work, and take-home items. This system promotes responsibility, independence, and smoother daily routines while helping families receive important information in an organized way. Teacher Curriculum Storage will help keep lesson plans, unit materials, and instructional resources organized and easy to access. Student Manipulative Storage will allow students to independently access hands-on learning tools while keeping our classroom neat, labeled, and functional. New chapter book series will bring excitement to reading and help support a wide range of reading levels. Fresh books encourage a love of reading, increase student engagement, and provide meaningful literacy experiences throughout the school year.

Support the Physical Education Program

Goal: $1000

Your generous donations will directly benefit our Physical Education program. Funds raised will be used for a Four Square Court in our gym and/or outdoor recess area.

Four square promotes physical activity, teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play. It is inclusive for students of varying ages and skill levels, making it an excellent option for both structured physical education classes and unstructured recess time. Many of our students already enjoy similar playground games, and a designated four square court would provide clear boundaries and expectations, helping with organization and positive behavior. It would also enhance student engagement, encourage active play, and support our school's focus on creating a fun, safe, and inclusive environment where students can build social and physical skills.

We recognize the importance of physical health in the process of educating the whole child; therefore, students have Physical Education classes 3 times a week at St. Mary's School. Units of instruction include an introduction to various sports, physical strength and conditioning, and overall health and wellness. Students learn how to make healthy choices regarding their physical activity and nutrition. A field day is held in May as a fun way to encourage all students to move and work

together as a team.
