Dear Family,
Thank you for your interest in attending St. Marys
Catholic School. We know that entrusting a school
with the education and development of your
child(ren) is a very big decision. St. Marys Catholic
School is dedicated to the education of each student
in a Catholic environment rich in the love and
philosophy of Jesus Christ. Our educational approach
balances the spiritual, academic, physical, and social
development of our students in a safe and
comfortable learning environment.
Parents are the primary educators of their children
and are responsible to provide for the moral and
religious development of their children. St. Marys
enters into an active partnership to facilitate this
end. Our goal is to provide an academic
environment in which our students are encouraged to
achieve their personal best. We strive to send forth
faith-filled, responsible students who understand how
to excel. Each student also understands and

participates in service to their community as an

integral part of their Catholic social teaching. For our
school to achieve these goals we have a dynamic
and dedicated faculty and staff. Our teachers and
staff are able to effectively deliver our engaging
curriculum to meet the needs of the students in their
classroom.
We see so many smiling faces every day in our
hallways, classrooms, playground, and church. Our
school is truly a joyous place to learn, make friends
and begin our journey to whom we are called to be. I
look forward to getting to know your family.
Sincerely in Christ,
Nicole Kirschten
