ST. MARY CATHOLIC SCHOOL ROCKET REVIEW / MAY 28, 2014 / VOLUME 1, NO.

New website address: StMaryRockwood.com
As our 8th graders leave St. Mary on their last day, we would like to
thank them for the impeccable role models they have become. They
truly embody the vision of St. Mary: to Pray, Work, Study, Play and
Serve Others in Christs Name. We are so proud of the young adults
they have become and could not be happier to now call them Alumni.
Tonight they celebrate their confirmation and on Thursday will
celebrate their graduation.
Dr. Seuss reminds us:
"You have
brains in your head.
You have
feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
in any direction
you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know
what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.

"There is a good reason they call these ceremonies 'commencement
exercises.' Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning." (Orrin
Hatch)

Go out and make us proud.
Congratulations, Graduates, and God Bless.

The St. Mary PTO bottle drive has been such a success this past school year, and we
thank you for your assistance with it. However, Monday, June 2 will be the last day to
bring your cans & bottles to school as the program will come to an end for this school
year.
Once the green recycle bin is gone from the back of the building, please do not leave
any cans, bottles or bags there any longer as we will not have anyone to pick them up.
We will start the program back up in the fall.
On behalf of the St. Mary PTO we would like to thank you for all of your continued
support with this program, it was a huge success!
Finally, we would like to thank Bill Brinker. We appreciate all of your help over the
past months with returning the cans & bottles brought to school. We sincerely
appreciate it!

MONDAY, JUNE 2
The students have been waiting for this day all year long! Field Day is a St. Mary
tradition, and once it is upon us it means the end of the school year is finally here.
The PTO is in need of parent volunteers to assist us with distribution of water to the
students during activities on field day.
If you are interested in helping out, please email Cindy Majlinger at
ctmx67@yahoo.com. Volunteer time will go towards your required service hours !
As always, we appreciate your support and wish you and your family a peaceful,
enjoyable & relaxing summer vacation!
=================================================================
We would like to thank you for all of your assistance this past school year with various activities. We hope
you and your child enjoyed them as much as we enjoyed hosting them.

Dont Forget to Clip & Save Box Tops over the Summer!

St. Mary School PTO would like to thank the students, staff, grandparents & parishioners
for clipping, saving & bringing in your box tops this past school year. Together we raised
just over $1,900.00, which was the most we have earned to date on this program.

We would like to say thank you to Mary Malaniak for being our Box Top coordinator over
the years. Your work did not go unnoticed. Additionally, we would like to welcome our new
coordinator, Tonya Robinson. We appreciate the both of you, for the work you have done
in the past and will continue to do for the students of St. Mary School.

Over the summer please continue to clip & save your box tops, as our first collection month
will take place in October. Each box top is worth $0.10 when the school redeems them,
and with these funds the PTO can continue to provide many fun-filled activities for the
students of St. Mary School.

There is no time like the present. Start clipping & saving your box tops now and all summer
long! Lets surpass the money we earned this year. Its easy and the rewards are endless.

We wish you and your family an enjoyable & restful summer.

Cindy Majlinger
St. Mary PTO, Treasurer
