Scaffolding Update
Dear Parents:
I am sure you have noticed the scaffolding around St. Mary’s as contractors continue to examine the exterior bricks and masonry along the front, side, and to the rear of the school. We initiated this work in January as part of our ongoing facility maintenance plan.
After speaking with the contractors, I understand that they are ready to install a second level of scaffolding to the front of the building and to the rear along the alley. This will enable workers to gain access to higher levels of the building, and contractors have assured me they will protect our windows (and those of us inside) as they continue their work.
The goal is to consider future masonry work to refresh the façade of our 100 year old building, and workers need to work along the outdoor walls in order to determine the scope of their work.
If you have any questions, please contact Ian McAra at 304-623-1026 X 12 or the principal. Thank you for your support of St. Mary’s School, and I pray that you and your families have a holy and prayerful Lenten season.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Casey Mahone, Designated Pastor
Nicole A. Folio, M. Ed.
 
A Note from the Principal's Desk...
_____What a winter so far. Let us pray that our snowy days will cease and that spring will come early this year.
_____PLEASE do not block the St. Mary’s entrance way in the alley in the mornings!!! If you must park in the alley between 7:20-7:45, please pull below the St. Mary’s entrance way.
_____Please continue to work with your child on their homework and check their assignment books daily. Once again, this is our main communication between home and school. Report cards were distributed on Thurs., Jan. 21, 2010. If you have not done so already, please review the report card with your child and return to school as soon as possible.
_____SMS Spring Play is fast approaching! Mrs. Karen Scarcelli will be designing the costumes for the play. Anyone willing to assist with costumes please call the SMS Office. Our plan is to have items organized to send home with parents to cut, stitch, and glue.

Thanks!
Wishing you Peace!
