A huge thank you to Rise and Grind Cafe for partnering with us for our recent fundraiser. Although turnout was lower than expected, they still generously made a donation to support our organization.

This is a great reminder of why supporting local businesses matters. They support our community in so many ways. We hope you’ll join us in showing Rise and Grind Cafe some love!

☀️ Good morning from Rise & Grind Cafe!
Wishing you a wonderful day filled with smiles, success, and great coffee. If you’re out and about, stop in and treat yourself to your favorite drink, we’d love to see you!
Have a fantastic day! ☕❤️

Our Shade Sail Dedication Ceremony was a wonderful celebration! The students were excited to enjoy the shaded playground space and a special ice cream treat.

A heartfelt thank you to Deacon Tom for blessing our playground and helping make the day so meaningful.

The PTO is incredibly grateful for the generosity and support of our St. Mary families and community. This project would not have been possible without you. Thank you for helping us make a lasting impact for our students!

Join us for mass this morning at 10:30! Any 2nd graders attending, please feel free to wear your first communion attire! After mass, there will be a reception at Rise and Grind in Berea - 1314 W Bagley Rd. This is an alternative to our Why Cook Wednesday so a percentage of the sales will be given to the PTO! Hope to see you all there!
*any student that attends will receive a dress down pass*

Our teachers were treated to Chick-fil-A for lunch, and it was a small way to show how much we value all they do for our students each day! We hope you enjoyed it!

We also want to give a special thank you to those who purchased gift cards for our teachers. Your generosity and support are truly appreciated and go directly toward showing our teachers how valued they are.
We are so grateful for our incredible teachers and the strong sense of community that continues to support them. It takes all of us working together, and we are thankful to be part of such a caring and supportive school community. 💙💛

Thank you for your dedication, patience, kindness, and all the ways you make a difference every single day. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💙💛
