ST. MARY CATHOLIC SCHOOL ROCKET REVIEW / MAY 6, 2014 / VOLUME 1, NO. 30

Last Fall I gave all the First Communion candidates a couple

Iris bulbs, which symbolize the virtue of Faith, to plant and told

them they would bloom just at the time they were ready to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. Gabby Gower sent me a photo of her

beautiful Pink Iris's. !

Mrs. Amos Congratulations to the following

student from our School who received Jesus, Body, Blood,

Soul and Divinity, this past weekend for the First Time!

Anthony Fischer is this week’s Super Star! Anthony is six years old. He lives in Flat Rock, MI and has a brother, Zachary.

Anthony’s favorite color is green. Anthony really enjoys spending time with Mom and Dad, and his favorite sport is Baseball. Anthony’s

favorite subject in school is Math. His favorite book is “Dr. Seuss’ ‘Sleep’” book. When Anthony grows up he would like to be a

firefighter. !

Anthony’s family thinks he is a Super Star because he is handsome, compassionate, kind and smart. Ms. Kremer thinks Anthony is a

Super Star because he is an excellent reader and he loves to read about science and space in class. Anthony always tries his best in

every subject and he enjoys sharing with others.

P.T.O. – Mom/Son Fun Night “Thank You”: !On behalf of the St. Mary PTO, we would like to thank the volunteers who either came early or helped during the Mom/Son event to make it a success. We had one of the largest turnouts ever, and everyone had fun playing soccer & hockey outdoors. We then headed inside to enjoy pizza and lemonade, followed up by a pie eating contest. !The PTO relies on parent volunteers to make our events successful, so please do not think your help went unnoticed. Most importantly, we hope the Moms & Sons enjoyed a fun & safe evening together. !Pictures went home this week with your son, so please check their backpack for a white envelope. Next year, we may add football to the mix, so watch out!
