Fantastic Catholic Schools Week!

Catholic Schools Week was a truly amazing week in which we celebrated Catholic Education (and had a lot of fun!).  The theme this year was “Catholic Schools:  Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.” The students, faculty, and parents arranged some pretty incredible experiences to celebrate St. Martha’s Catholic School. We would love go give a shout out to all those who helped make our week such a great success!

Here is a recap of all the activities.

Stewardship Day

The Thursday prior to Catholic Schools Week was a Stewardship Day in which students kicked off collecting personal and hygiene items to be donated to Catholic Charities. Items ranged from toothbrushes and toothpaste to shampoo and conditioner and shower curtains. We were able to donate approximately 500 items!!

Monday

The entire school, preschool through 8th grade, was paired up with reading buddies. The students kicked off the week by reading to their buddies. Students young and old were able to practice and show off their reading skills.

 The day was then capped off with our schoolwide Spelling Bee. There was good competition, and congratulations to Aidan who was our school winner!

Tuesday

The Student Council and class representatives from grades 3-5 attended the Archdiocesean Catholic Schools Week mass at St. Gabriel Church. Attending the mass, celebrated by Archbishop Kurtz, were Leisa Schulz, Superintendent for the Archdiocese, representatives from the Catholic Education Foundation, and many students from elementary and high schools throughout the Archdiocese.

In the afternoon, the school choir, led by Mrs. Alesha Jones, put on a concert for school and parish staff members.

Wednesday

Parents were invited to attend the school’s weekly liturgy and return to the classroom to play games with their children. Students brought ina wide variety of games and fun was had by all.

Thursday

Teachers were shown appreciation with lunch proided to them and some scrumptious cupcakes provided by the PTO.

Thursday was Brain Storm day! At the end of the day,  there was a live “game show” in the library broadcast to the entire school. One student from each homeroom  and his/her corresponding teacher or assistant played head to head against each other. It was a very close game, and lots of knowledge was shared, but the students came out with a win in the end.

 

Friday

Appreciation for our students was the theme for Friday! We are so grateful for our students for their hard work and effort throughout the year. Students’ names were drawn throughout the day for prizes and Mr. Clark provided a popsicle at lunch for every student. The culminating eventfor the week was our 2nd annual faculty-student volleyball game. The games kicked off with the sixth and seventh grade students playing each other. Then the main event of the eighth grade vs the faculty took place.  Talent and ability shone through on both sides, but the teachers came away with the win.

Neighborhood School

"Our family initially picked St Martha due to it being a private school in our neighborhood, we’re not Catholic. We didn’t know anyone but I had heard good things. As soon as the kids started there it felt like family. We quickly got engaged in clubs and sports and all of us have made great friends!! The staff is top notch and the boys can’t wait to go to school everyday!"

Our Teachers Go Above and Beyond

"It is a wonderful feeling knowing that the faculty and staff of St. Martha want your child to succeed just as much as you do as their parent. If I ever have a concern, or for that matter my child has a concern about something they don’t understand, they are provided with extra support until they are able to master the skill being taught. Our teachers go above and beyond!"

The Drive…It’s Worth It!

"We drive over 30 minutes each way to get to St. Martha - and it's worth it! We grateful to have found a community of loving, courageous, helpful, kind, genuine people to help us raise our babies - and we're not going anywhere. After 3 years of preschool and with our oldest now in Kindergarten - we know we're where we belong.
A deciding factor and one of the greatest benefits to our family is that SMS offers after school care AND summer care - that are run by SMS staff. My kiddo is in the same place, with people she knows, all year and its priceless!"

No Worries At All!

"My daughter became a Shamrock in 7th grade, and my biggest worry as a parent was if she would feel like part of the school community. I shouldn’t have worried AT ALL. She has said multiple times that the students have been so wonderfully welcoming to her that she feels like she’s been at St. Martha since kindergarten. It’s been an amazing transition for her and we are so thankful for everyone who’s been part of her school experience at St. Martha - her new friends, teachers, school staff, and the St. Martha families. It’s never too late to find your perfect school!"
