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!
The time is now to make one last push for tax credit scholarships! I encourage all of you to make phone calls today and throughout the rest of the week!
The tax credit scholarship program is being discussed in Springfield now! Call your State Representative and State Senator today and ask them to support the tax credit scholarship program!
Use this link to send your message. It takes ONE minute. We NEED to show our support, if we want any chance at keeping this program.

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 also want to thank all those who served this past year - Alex Carmona, Sarah Hultgren, Meagan Lucas, Julie McGill, Molly Newman and Andrea Whitten. We are still looking for someone who is interested in acting as secretary. Please reach out to Chelsea for more information!
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!
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!
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.
We want to celebrate you and all your hard work this school year! All SMS parents/guardians/family members and caregivers are invited to our Volunteer Appreciation Night, sponsored by your PSA! The link to RSVP is in the Marksmen Memo and we'd love to see you there!
We are proud of these students for working hard and being brave enough to stand up and present in front of people!
Third graders put on their living museum this week! It's a fun culminating project for both the students and their museum visitors.
Thank you to our amazing lunchroom staff for all they do to provide nutritious meals for our students! Fuel for our bodies and our brains helps us to grow and learn everyday at St. Mark School!
Tomorrow is an early dismissal day and Spirit Day!
Happy School Principals' Day to our very special Dr. Dillon! If you see her around today, make sure you tell her thanks for all she does for our students and families!
Our Second grade students received their Blessing Cups at our Feast Day Mass last Thursday. Please keep all of these children in your prayers this week as they finish their preparations to receive Jesus through the Eucharist this coming Saturday.
Preschool had a great study of farms! From animals to plants and even a visit to the Farm Park, they enjoyed every minute!
