SMS students have been drawing God! Recently before school Mass, students met together in their Faith Families to listen to Karen Kiefer's book, "Drawing God", read aloud by Mrs. D'Angelo. Then they each worked on their own drawing that will be hung at OLV National Shrine & Basilica for an exhibit on November 22 .
The Catholic Parenting Initiative would like to invite families to attend the upcoming event, Drawing God Night, on Sat., Nov. 22nd from 5:30-7 pm. The evening will begin with Eucharistic Adoration for families in the upper Basilica, followed by food, crafts, activities and an art show including SMS students' artwork in the lower Basilica. The first 50 families to arrive that evening will receive a free copy of "Drawing God".
If you are planning to attend Drawing God Night, kindly RSVP at the link below: https://www.cpiwny.org/events-1/

The 2nd Grade Bake Sale returns on Tues., Nov. 18th during all lunch periods. For just $1 per delicious sweet, nut-free treat, your student can help Grade 2 raise money to "adopt" a macaw from the World Wildlife Fund.
Mrs. Wojtaszek's students are learning about government and civics and being involved in their community by holding the sale. Every donation helps save endangered wildlife, protect fragile ecosystems, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature. Many species of macaw are endangered due to habitat loss from deforestation and agriculture, and capture for the illegal pet trade. Help grade 2 help this beautiful animal!

🏀 🐝 Our grades 3 & 4 co-ed basketball team's first game tipped off this past Sat. at home against Notre Dame. The team worked hard at going through all aspects of game play in their recent practices, and it was exciting to see them put it all together!

Trout Update: Our alevin are growing bigger & stronger every day! Many of them have already lost their attached yolk sac for nourishment, & soon we will begin feeding them & they will be known as "fry". The transition from living off the yolk to independent feeding is a critical life stage for the young trout.
Our grades 3, 4, & 5 students are truly embracing observing the trout each week. During prayerful observation time, students listen to/sing the Prayer of St. Francis (the patron saint of animals) while observing them in their tank. It is truly amazing that our students are able to witness the changes between stages in the trout life cycle right in front of them in their classroom!

🇺🇸 In honor of Veterans Day tomorrow, SMS students in grades K-8 made thank you cards that were distributed to veterans at all St. Mary's weekend Masses.
In addition, students donated $2 to dress down today in patriotic colors in support of the Senior Wishes program. Senior Wishes recognizes the service of WNY Senior Veterans with HERO Boxes. During the month of November, HERO Boxes filled with patriotic items are delivered to local veterans, & they are invited to share their stories. Each individual story reminds us what true service & sacrifice look like, & why we are thankful for these heroic men & women!

Students decorated a "coat of many colors" during their Rise & Shine time this past Friday morning. We reflected on the virtue of humility, & how we can be grateful for the gifts God has given us, while also recognizing the gifts of others!

Last week we honored students as well as a staff member who have displayed the virtue of #studiousness during the month of October. These individuals were recognized not for their willingness to engage in academic study, but rather the fact that they seek knowledge to grow closer to God's truth. Congratulations students & Mrs. Wojtaszek!
