Thank you to all the families who supported the Crusader Fund and joined us at Skate with the Principal! We had a great night!
Respectfully,
Kathy Thompson

Please sign up online to reserve spots, and we will plan accordingly!
Library Books
Please take a look around your house and return any SOSM Library books to the library by Friday, May 31st. Thank you!
Summer Skills Workbooks
Summer Skills Workbooks reinforce basic academic concepts and keep students on track over the summer. Requiring only three half-hour sessions per week over the summer, these convenient, user-friendly language arts and math books provide a sufficient review that is not overwhelming.
The cost of each book is still $22.00. You will be billed through FACTS for the books you select. Families who would like to buy Summer Skills may place one combined order for their children in different grades. The books will be delivered to the school by June 6, 2024. Please complete the below form by Friday, May 31, 2024 to order:

Supply Kits need to be purchased by July 1st and will be delivered directly to the school and waiting for your child on the first day. Order at the link below (scroll down a bit to see SOSM):
Crusader Summer School
The School of St. Mary will offer our Summer School program to students entering Jr. Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. This is an opportunity to receive additional academic support and/or continue your child's education throughout the summer in an enriching, academic environment. Students will focus on reading, writing, math, and social studies/science that fit their appropriate age/grade. For those with children who are moving from the PGC to the UGC, we will have special materials and instruction to help your child prepare for the greater independence required at the UGC. We will also have fun in the summer sun!
The School of St. Mary will offer two 3-week sessions. Families can register for either one or both sessions. Registration deadline: May 1
Location: Primary Grade Center (PGC) 900 W. Everett Rd. Lake Forest, IL 60045

Donate Your Used Uniforms & CrusaderWear!
As your students graduate, grow, and prepare for summer, please feel free to donate gently used uniforms to the school's Used Uniform closet. A donation box is located at the front desk of the UGC and PGC, where students may drop their items.
Also, please encourage your children to look in the Lost and Found for jackets, water bottles, and other items that may have been misplaced during the school year. There is quite a collection!
