How you can help
- DEADLINE: Raffle Tickets, sold and unsold (as if you'd have any unsold...) must be turned in by NOON THIS THURSDAY (April 16).  Drop them off in the mail slot to the right (west) of the main school doors if you have not done so already.
- GALA:  Register for the Gala.  It's easy and FREE.  Join us for an hour of fun, 8 pm-9 pm, this Saturday.  The Gala is virtual, but the fun is real.  The auction is online and open NOW!  There are tons of great items just waiting for your bid.  To register, go to: smpirates.org, click on GALA, click on REGISTER.
- ENROLLMENT.  First deadline for returning student registration fees is THIS WEDNESDAY, April 15.  After Wednesday, registration fees increase.  HOWEVER, if you need some additional time to turn in your registration fee, please contact the Business Office.  As long as you are ENROLLED by Wednesday, we will work with families individually on the registration fee.  Again, please enroll so we can make staffing decisions for the upcoming school year, and if you need flexibility on the timing of your registration fee, contact us now.  

Parents, Students, how are you doing?    
- TIME.  Blinding statement of the obvious:  We cannot make more time.  PLEASE set aside some moments during the opportunity presented by these challenging shelter-in-place times to enjoy some of that elusive "quality time" with your family.
- EASTER.  Easter isn't over, it's only just begun.  During our prayer moments in this Easter Season we should acknowledge the great gift that is the sacrificial death and resurrection of our Savior.  Despite our flaws and imperfections and fallen natures, we are the recipients of a perfect act of perfect generosity from our perfect Savior.  

Reminders.
- YEARBOOK:   Reminder from Mrs. Taylor.  Yearbook is working on our spring insert!  We would love to get pictures from students during our stay-at-home quarantine. It's easy to send pictures to Yearbook: go to www.replayit.com . Sign in for "St. Mary's High School" and follow the instructions to upload pictures.  Things we'd like to see from you:
- At home with family
- Practicing for your sport (the more creative the better!)
- Working on school
- Anything fun!  

Prayer.  Please continue to pray with us and pray with our community:  

THE MEMORARE
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.  

Respectfully,
Rob Rysavy
President
St. Mary's High School
