We mourn the recent passing of our beloved principal, Sr. Lorraine Klein fmij.  Click for more information. We also express our condolences to the Raspa family in the recent loss of their brother Michael.

Reminder from the nurse: Hand washing is very important. Please remind your children to wash their hands properly. If your child is out with a fever, he/she must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. (That means fever free without medication.)

Other Notes:... For the third year in a row, an eighth grader from St. Margaret School  in Woodbury Heights (Conor Murphy) earned the four year full scholarship Bishop Eustace Preparatory School awards to the top scoring student on its annual scholarship exam.  The evidence is clear — our Catholic schools are doing a remarkable job educating the students sitting in classrooms diocesan wide. Each day, each year, we provide a mission driven education that is both academic and spiritual. Our students are prepared to live, work and pray in the dynamic world that exists beyond the classroom.

The HIDDEN JEWEL in Woodbury Heights 

 

SMS is a Pre-K to 8th grade regional Catholic educational institution in our 46th year of operation.  At St. Margaret's, Catholic values are a top priority.  We offer a secure and disciplined learning environment.  We strive for total education, which includes growth in religious awareness and appreciation of morals and values, for each of our 562 students.

 

 

 

********************************

 Studies consistently show that Catholic schools outperform their public school counterparts in student academic achievement. And, the longer a child attends a Catholic school, the greater the impact. Recently, the USCCB clearly stated their view of Catholic school education: Catholic Schools continue to be “the most effective means available to the church for the education of children and young people” who are the future of the Church. Using this as our guidepost, we feel strongly that active advancement programs, engaged, committed lay leadership, increased tuition assistance for families and dynamic programs will lead to a solid future for our schools. We invite you to join us on our “Faith in the Future” journey.

Did you know ... Catholic School Students surpass their counterparts by an average of 4.5% in math, 4.8% in science, and 12.5% in reading in the three grade levels of the National Assessment of Educational Progress test of the federal government. The 1994 tests of the NAEP also showed that Catholic School Students in 4th and 8th grades score higher than their peers in reading, history and geography.
