Friday Update: May 13, 2022

Dear St. Matthew’s Elementary School Families,
  
Monday is Walkathon Prize Day!  We will not only find out if we reached our goal of $10 000 but we will also reveal the names of the classes that raised the most number of pledges and most amount of money towards our annual Walkathon!  Once again we would like to thank all families (and students!) who

worked tirelessly to raise money so that we can expand students’ access to technology.  Don’t forget to check out a summary video of the Walkathon, below!

As we reach the mid-way point through the month of May we continue to focus on our heavenly mother, Mary who is a powerful intercessor for us.  Let us appeal to Mary to pray for our families, school community and parish.

Sincerely in Christ,
Miss Welsh
