SCS families: St. Mary's Grade School will have an Evacuation Drill on Monday, November 24th. We wanted all on campus to be aware to avoid any confusion or worry.
5th graders will be launching their StarBase rockets Monday the 24th at 11:15 in the field east of the playground. Parents wishing to observe this event please check in with the office before heading outside.
Hey, SMGS Families! Did you know that if you are a Sunflower Bank member - you could be giving back to SMGS every time you swipe your debit card?
🌻 If you bank with Sunflower Bank:
Be sure to enroll in the ABC Program (details on the flyer!). It takes just a minute, and every qualifying debit card swipe helps fund supplies, technology, equipment, and more for our students.
📚 And for ALL families — no matter where you bank:
Turn in your student’s report card at any Sunflower Bank branch between Nov. 1–Dec. 31 and they could earn up to $100 for their A’s. If an SMGS student wins, the school gets a matching donation!
During the months of Dec, Jan & Feb students are not allowed to wear shorts. It is suggested that girls wear uniform approved leggings under jumpers and skorts. If the wind chill is below 25 degrees, students will have inside recess.
Dear SMGS Families,
As part of our ongoing commitment to safety, we will conduct a brief, pre-planned evacuation drill on Monday, November 24 (2:00- 2:45) during the school day. Students and staff will practice exiting the building and gathering at our designated meeting area. Teachers will explain the drill to students in age-appropriate ways so they understand this is practice, not an emergency.
What families should know:
- This is only a drill; please avoid calling or coming to campus while it’s in progress so we can keep lines clear.
- If you need to pick up your child, please plan to do so before or after the drill window, if possible.
- We will have 1 person in the front office just in case you absolutely need to get your student and/or you have a pre-arranged appointment prior to the notification of this drill.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe and prepared.
God Bless,
Tym Bonilla, Principal

Our 2nd grade students have organized a food drive leading up to our school Thanksgiving Mass on 11/25 that will hopefully keep our Blessing Box filled all December long. Beginning 11/12, K-6 students are encouraged to bring unexpired, non-perishable food items to their classrooms. Homerooms will collect these food items in their classrooms until 11/25 which is when the students will carry their items to the church and leave their donations at the altar before mass begins. Thank you for any support you are able to provide-- prayers included!
During the months of Dec, Jan & Feb students are not allowed to wear shorts. It is suggested that girls wear uniform approved leggings under jumpers and skorts. If the wind chill is below 25 degrees, students will have inside recess.
SMGS: We’re having a TOP Day at Panera tomorrow, and there’s an easy way to make an even bigger impact for our school!
