Welcome Back! I Hope You All Had a Super Week and Were Able to Stop by the School This


Hello St. Margaret Mary School Families,

Welcome back! I hope you all had a super week and were able to stop by the school this last weekend to enjoy the Fair. Lots of fun was had by all!Although the Fair was exciting, I am happythat the students are now back in an environment of uninterrupted learning.

A huge thank you goes out to Skip and Ronnie Richards and their crew of parish and school volunteers who planned and prepared the events and activities. A special ‘thank you’ to our awesome teachers (Mrs. Rosato, , Coach Eron, Mrs. Desmond, Kayci Richards and Mrs. Taylor), who braved the waters of our ‘dunk tank’ in what proved to be the most popular booth of the weekend! A huge ‘thank you’ to our 8th grade class! They came out on Monday to help the Fair Crew with clean – up and tear down. Thank you all!!!

As we move into the third week of September, I want to remind everyone of a few important items:

  1. The Mom’sClubmet last week to begin their year –long presentation of student activities. It is going to be a year of great fun! If you would like to join in, it’s not too late!! Please contact Sandra Traversa for more details at

  3. 7th graders! If you have not received your TDAP IMMUNIZATION, then I am soooo sorry but I will be unable to temporarily allow you back in school. As previously stated in my 7th grade emails, I cannot permit any 7th grade student who has not received their TDAP immunization, into class. It’s the law! Please contact me asap if you are experiencing issues with this.
