We hope you can cheer our St. Mark Marksmen girls on this Wednesday night! The games will be played at St. Vincent DePaul and will start with our choir performing the National Anthem. Don't forget to dress up for the Halloween theme!
Our preschool students had the chance to go on two field trips so far! First, they headed to Christ Apple Orchard for a walk through the orchard and scavenger hunt. Next, they took off for Roth Pumpkin Patch and had fun on a hayrack ride through the woods!
Save the date for Marktoberfest and Trunk or Treat! It's a fun, family friendly event!
SMS Candy Wars start tomorrow!
Don't forget Spirit Day and Early Dismissal tomorrow! We can't wait to see all the grown ups at Parent Teacher Conferences too!
We can't wait to see the smiles tomorrow for Picture Day!
Our students are spending Monday mornings serving at the WestMark food pantry with Mrs. Schafer. The food pantry serves nearly 2,000 individuals in the Greater Peoria Area each month. They are always looking for non-perishable food items and volunteers to help unload and pack.
Hey Marksmen! First Friday is next week and we'd love to see you there! Come join us for fellowship, food, and fun!
Picture Day is right around the corner! Remember, you're never fully dressed without a smile!
Kindergarten and 2nd grade did a STREAM activity in the art room - they learned about chemical reactions with baking soda and vinegar as they created fizzy apples!
Things are stacking up in our STREAM Lab! 4th, 5th and 1st all did the paper pillar challenge to see how many books they could stack on paper pillars they made from recycled paper. They were shocked at the results!
Mark your calendars for what is sure to be a great evening! Enjoy delicious food, games, dancing and more to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at St. Mark School.
In fifth grade last week, students made mold terrariums to test different additives and environments that might help prevent mold. Stay tuned for our findings! Thank you to everyone who sent in materials for our science experiment.
For Hispanic Heritage Month, 4th grade ELA studied a biography of Frida Kahlo and her animals and created a collage of her and her parrots.
The fifth grade class spent part of their day at our Church with Fr. Lampitt on a Signs & Symbols Scavenger Hunt! Our students are blessed to have the opportunity to encounter Christ during the school day.
If you have a few extra hours this fall to help out, we would appreciate it!
The fourth grade students spent some time creating religious art. They took inspiration from the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo for their technique.

Have you ever seen such sad faces? These sweet second graders were devastated this week because their class pet, Cookiedough, was missing! They created lost dog posters to help find her! Thank goodness she showed up after just one day!
Are you celebrating Read A Book Day? Every day is a great day to read at book and we love our readers at SMS! Share a picture of yourself or your Marksmen reading or let us know your favorite book or author! Pete the Cat is always a hit in preschool!
