“Another Great Week” Newsletter from Principal Ferguson
Dear Lancer Families,
Next week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Throughout the week, we will celebrate our Catholic Faith through many fun activities…the SFHS Rock band will be coming to lay for us, a variety of Buddy activities, School Mass, and a Cleaning Supply Drive to support Ronald McDonald House in Winfield.
We are all so blessed to have the gift of Catholic education available to our students. We wanted to send a big THANK YOU to all of our families who make St. Michael’s such an awesome school. We recognize the sacrifice it can be to send your children to Catholic School each year. Your commitment to your child’s Faith development and their overall education is much appreciated. We are proud of the traditions and long history of excellence here at SMPS. Thank you again for being a part of the future of our school!
We hope you all can join us for the Catholic Schools Week Mass on Sunday, January 26th at 10:45pm. Hope to see you there!
Finally, tonight is our 32nd Annual Blue & Gold Gala! This annual event helps support all the wonderful things we have going on at St. Michaels. Thank you to all our sponsors and those who donated items for the Silent and Live Auctions! We are excited for this sold out event.
Make it a GREAT day, Lancers!!!
Adam Ferguson
Principal, St. Michael Parish School

🏫 The Uniform Exchange - Find Some New-to-You Uniforms 🏫
Dear SMPS Families,
Exciting news! The Uniform Exchange will be open Wednesday, February 5th to February 9th. Located on the Landing; the area outside of the cafeteria. The exchange will be open anytime the school is open, so feel free to stop by at your convenience.
This is a chance to discover new sizes if your current pieces no longer fit or are showing signs of wear. Feel free to take items without bringing anything in return. Our closets are overflowing, and we need to clear out some items.
We have all items available, with a large amount of navy and khaki pants. It's a fantastic opportunity to update your child's wardrobe!
Whether you have outgrown uniforms or are looking for some extras, we invite you to come and find what you need.
If you’re unable to make these dates, you are always welcome to come in and look through the closets anytime the school is open.
Make the most of this exchange! Happy swapping!
