SMA Daily Bulletin May 28, 2019 Day 1

What’s the GOOD NEWS/CHARISM CORNER…this is the last week of May. May is commonly referred to as the MONTH OF MARY. Why? Well there are many factors that have contributed to it from connections to Greek and Roman goddesses, to honoring life and Motherhood (long before Hallmark started it!). Yet since the mid-17th Century, the Church has reserved May for Mary. This is a time to remember her in a special way. Her strength, faithfulness, and goodness. Sometimes there would be processions crowning Mary with beautiful flowers (which was part of our SMA story, too). During this last week of May, the Month of our Lady, find time to be with her in prayer. Share with her the joys and struggles of; living your faith, trying to do what is best, needing strength or being a woman in our world today. Mary – Mother of God, Mother of the Church, Mother of us all – PRAY FOR US!

TEA FOR TARTAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5: Graduating students have the opportunity to donate their uniforms to be refurbished and sold at a reduced cost to current SMA students. David’s Tea will be offering the grads a cup of tea upon their donation. Bins will be set up in the hallway outside of the cafeteria following the ELA exam. Cups of take-away tea will be on hand when a donation is made. Thank you for cooperation in the wonderful school initiative. Last year, during our uniform sales, the Corner Store sold over $1000 of these donated uniforms and encouraged the reusing and recycling of materials to reduce stress on the environment.
