What a way to kick off Catholic Schools Week! Thank you to The Guard, SMA Booster Club, for treating our students and staff to a Chris Cakes pancake lunch! "Of all the spirit weeks that happens in a school, Catholic Schools week is by far my favorite week! One of the best gifts my parents gave me and my siblings was the sacrifice to send us to Catholic schools. Being challenged academically while growing stronger in my Catholic faith, is something that I do not take for granted." – Ms. Kroening, Principal #CSW23 #CatholicEducation #walktogether
