We invite you to join us for a shared meal, the tradition of May Day baskets, and Mass as we gather in faith and fellowship. This is a beautiful opportunity for our school family, faith formation families, and St. Michael's faith formation to slow down, connect with one another, and celebrate the joy of our community.
We look forward to seeing you as we share food, faith, and friendship together.
We are excited to celebrate the incredible dedication, love, and hard work of our teachers and staff who make our school such a special place for students to learn and grow each day.
You can help us show appreciation in a few meaningful ways:
• Prayer – lift up our teachers and staff in your daily prayers
• Praise – share a kind word, note, or message of encouragement
• Donation – support the celebration week through our Amazon Wish List

Our Kindergarten and 1st graders walked through the Stations of the Cross, learning about Jesus’ journey and reflecting on why He was crucified. It was a powerful and meaningful experience for our youngest learners.
Our 2nd graders spent time preparing their hearts for their First Holy Eucharist. They are learning about the precious gift of the Body and Blood of Jesus and growing in their understanding of this special sacrament.
We are so proud of our students as they continue to grow in faith during this Lenten season. ✝️
Thank you, Mrs. Hoppel, for your time and committment to making these powerful experiences for our students.
