Dear Students and Parents,

     Happy New Year to all of you and I pray that your break was filled with many blessings and wonderful memories!  I am excited to begin a new year with all of you and I hope that this year is filled with many opportunities to collaborate and come together as a school community to continue to share the good and make learning fun! This school year is flying by, so I hope everyone takes the time to reflect and truly enjoy every moment shared together inside and out of the classroom.  

     There are a lot of important dates and events coming up in the month of January including Catholic Schools Week, so please stay informed by reading the weekly eNews and checking out the middle school homework website: sasmshomework.blogspot.com.

     I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed New Year and week ahead!
