Our Classroom:

We enjoy lively discussions about stories and novels we read in Literature. We love to analyze these texts for symbolism, POV, and other literary elements. In Social Studies, we make connections between today and our shared past through activities and projects. We grow as individuals as we learn about cultures and events around the world. We gain knowledge so that as we learn better, we can do better in all aspects of our lives.

What Makes St. Mary School So Special:

St. Mary School uses the educational philosophy of St. John Bosco based on Reason, Religion, and Loving Kindness as a means to discuss and overcome any concerns or issues that may arise in our social interactions with one another. We approach conversations with all in a reasonable tone and use our Catholic Christian faith to find equitable solutions to any problem. This approach of loving kindness helps everyone to feel seen as an individual and to feel valued as a whole person.
