We are hiring!
Kindergarten, first and second grade students went to Wildlife Prairie Park for their end of the year field trip! They loved seeing all the wild animals and learning about their natural habitats. They enjoyed a picnic lunch and hiking on the trails.
Our big kids had a great time at the Peoria Chiefs game in May! Their smiles were contagious!
Kindergarten Safari Day was a huge success! Students counted to 100 by tens with animal movements, they climbed like monkeys, they sorted and counted animals and of course, they were a little wild like the animals too!
What a blessing to have so many children receive their First Holy Communion this year! It was a beautiful day in May for this special Sacrament and we are thankful for all those who prepared the students.
We celebrated our students with Awards Day in May. We are proud of them and the way they've grown this year.
We would love to share what St. Mark School has to offer your student and family. Please call or stop over and see if SMS is right for you!
How lucky were we to get spoiled by our PSA and all the parents, families and students this year! The teachers and staff felt loved and appreciated and we are so thankful for all the big and little ways you support us throughout the year!
As we closed out the year in our Atrium, we celebrated Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit. How beautiful is the joy of a child?
Earlier in May, we honored the Blessed Virgin Mary as we crowned her Queen of Heaven and Earth. Our new first communicants from second grade and our eighth grade students processed in with flowers for Mary's altar. Special thanks to Mr. Rodolfi for the photos.
That's a wrap on the 2023-24 school year and we were so excited to celebrate all your accomplishments! We have lots more to share over the summer of all that happened at school in May, so check back often. Happy Summer! Stay safe and may God bless you always!

Glow Day in fourth grade was totally rad! They reviewed all kinds of 4th grade skills during Glow Day and are sure to shine bright as they head to 5th grade next year!
We are pleased to announce our 2024-25 Parent School Association board! We are looking forward to all the fun they will have in store for us in the coming school year.

We are still looking for someone who is interested in acting as secretary. Please reach out to Chelsea for more information!
P is for Pirate in Preschool! The students spent a day of adventure on the high seas! They made treasure maps, telescopes, messages in a bottle, played in the ocean with sea animals, walked the plank, painted seashells, and made their own hooks! The day ended with a treasure hunt and some chocolate doubloons!
Water Day 2024 fun!
Water Day is always a huge hit with the younger students and this year was epic!
3rd, 4th and 5th grade students headed to Detweiler Park this month for some serious nature fun! They went for a hike on a forest trail, played games, created art in the woods with Mrs. Tomlins, enjoyed a picnic lunch and had time to just be kids outside! What a treat!
Today we recognized all of our track participants. We also cheered on Bryer Blackford for beating the 6th school long jump record and for heading to State this weekend with our co-op team with St. Vincent de Paul!! We wish everyone the best of luck!
What a joyful morning as we celebrate the Mass with our 2nd grade students who are fully participating for the first time. May God bless you.
