Dear Members of the SMS Community,
I apologize for being a few days late with this newsletter, but I took advantage of the delay to focus on this coming Sunday, Pentecost Sunday, for my prayer. Birthdays are important milestones; we love celebrating them (even if we're not thrilled with the new number attached!!) and enjoy the treatment we receive on our special day. The feast of Pentecost is also known as the birthday of the Church, for on this day, after receiving the Holy Spirit, the apostles were so filled with zeal, that their enthusiastic preaching resulted in over 5000 listeners being baptized! So, let's celebrate the Church's birthday by imitating the enthusiasm for the gospel message of those first witnesses.
Dear Parents and Friends of Saint Mary School,
Please find attached a Legislative Alert from the Connecticut Federation of Catholic School Parents. The budget talks at the Capitol continue at a very slow pace as the Legislature moves closer to its adjournment on June 5th. Legislators are aware of our issue, but the "Big Push" must be on in the final month of this General Assembly. This alert is a call to action that needs your immediate attention.
Should the action be approved, I believe there is a good chance Newington will cut our bus service which would present a hardship for our Newington families. Anything that has an averse effect on even one family effects all of us in the SMS family. Whether you benefit from school bus service or not, I urge you to contact the legislators mentioned on the attached alert and express your displeasure with this action.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Marge McDonald
On May 1, 2013, student representatives from Saint Mary School, Newington, traveled to the Archdiocese of Hartford Chancery to visit Archbishop Henry Mansell. The students, from grades one through eight, represented their school-wide Cuddle and a Prayer Blankie Ministry™.
Saint Mary School is proud to announce that three of our eighth grade students have received scholarships to the high schools they have chosen. From left to right are Joseph Morelli, Abigail Baker and Angel Zohrabian, Angel and Joeseph received scholarships from Northwest Catholic High School and Abigail received a scholarship from Mercy High School.
