SMCS Field Day 2023 is on the horizon with planning well underway! This year, we are offering volunteer T-shirts to VIRTUS trained adult volunteers who are able to help on either day.
You will be asked to indicate your preferred shirt size as part of the Volunteer Sign-Up process. Not able to volunteer, but still want to lend a hand? We also welcome nut-free snack donations to keep our students hydrated and well-fueled for Field Day fun in the sun!
SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED >> FRIDAY, MAY 26TH FIELD DAY FOR JK THROUGH GRADE 4
SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED >> FRIDAY, JUNE 2ND FIELD DAY FOR GRADES 5 THROUGH 8
Please note both Field Days are on half-days with 11:30am dismissals.


Faithful Citizenship Resources In anticipation of Election Day on November 5, the Virginia Catholic Conference has prepared voter education resources to help Catholics confidently vote with an informed conscience. Those resources can be found on the Catholic Diocese of Richmond's website . School Day Reminders This year, Election Day is a regular school day with a regular bell schedule at Saint Mary's Catholic School. In prior years, it has coincided with Parent-Teacher Conferences resulting in a day-off for students; however, that is not the case this school year. Many of our students across all grade levels are aware of the importance of Election Day. We anticipate the days leading up to Election Day and those following it will provide topics of conversation that students may choose to engage in both inside and outside the classroom. If necessary, our teachers may offer age-appropriate explanations of the day's events and results. As family members, we encourage you to guide your children as they navigate their thoughts and feelings over the coming weeks and months.
