What a wonderful week at SMS to celebrate Catholic Schools Week! As Father Lampitt said in his homily, "Catholic Schools are worth fighting for!!!!" This week we had the opportunity to celebrate our students, our staff, and our parish!
* We began our week with our Living Rosary.
* We recognized special guests that are part of our school and parish.
* We honored our 8th Grade Girls Volleyball players.
* Students had the opporunity to dress as staff members.
* And we ended our week with our 8th Grade vs. Facutly Volleyball Game.
Come be a MARKSMEN!!! There's always room for one more!!!!









Father Lampitt came to share with our fifth grade class about his call to priesthood. We will continue learning about vocations this week in honor of Catholic Schools Week!




SMS students started the day off right with a delicious breakfast with their buddies! Each buddy class pair wore matching colors and then spent time eating, chatting, and talking about all the reasons they love SMS! We are proud of the community we are building every day at SMS!







The students were absolutely delighted to get a special lunch treat - ice cream! Our Marksmen work so hard each day to learn and grow and we are thrilled to celebrate them today, during Catholic Schools Week 2025!





Congratulations to the 2nd graders who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the
first time on January 25! May you celebrate this great gift of God’s mercy often! We look
forward to May 4 when you will join us at the Lord’s Table to be nourished with the Holy
Eucharist!






This past Friday night was 8th Grade Night for our basketball players and cheerleaders, along with our SMS choir performing the National Anthem. Thank you, parents, for all of your support throughtout the years.! We are very proud of our SMS 8th Graders!
Remember - the greatest gift you can give your children is your time!!!
"ONCE A MARKSMEN ALWAYS A MARKSMEN!!!!"



While it certainly has been cold these past few weeks, nothing warms our hearts more than Catholic Schools Week! We are ready to profess our Faith and our Love for Catholic Schools! We are also so grateful for a St. Mark's Parish that supports us in prayer, love, talents, and treasures!!!
MARKSMEN ARE THE BEST!!!!!!



Members of Boy Scout Troop #225, Peter Taylor and Owen Johnson, have taken upon themselves to make sure our United States of America Flag is flown every day school is in session. Each day they raise it to the top of the flagpole, and then graciously lower it to half staff in honor of President Carter's death. Our flag will remain at half staff for a period of 30 days. At the end of each day, they take the flag down and fold it properly. Thank you Peter and Owen for your efforts!
May God Bless America and May God Bless St. Mark's!!!!!


Congratulations to our 6th Grade Boys Basketball Team as they took the Consolation Championship in the Catholic Schools Tournament this past weekend! Job well-done!


The 8th grade class is offering Christmas Gift Wrapping tomorrow, December 14th from 12-3pm in the school gym. Drop your gifts off and free up your afternoon for fun while these happy elves take a task off your to do list!

The Student Council is selling candy canes next week! Stop into the gym before school begins and grab one for yourself or a friend.


Our Holly Jolly Spirit Week, hosted by the Student Council, kicks off Monday with Holiday Headwear and Socks! It should be fun seeing lots of Santas, Elves, and Reindeer dashing through these halls!
