St. Mary School families enjoyed their annual tradition of the Home School Association (HSA) Catholic Schools Week Breakfast this morning. This year the breakfast was hosted as a joint effort by HSA and the St. Mary's Knights of Columbus Council 17530, who prepared all of the delicious food! Fluffy pancakes, fresh fruit, scrumptious pastries, scrambled eggs & the Knight's famous homemade sausage links were served.
The breakfast not only provided our families with full bellies, but full hearts too, as there were opportunities for service to our community. Each year the HSA asks families to bring a non-perishable food item with them to the breakfast for donation to WNY food pantries through the parish's St. Vincent DePaul Society. Students also made Valentines Day cards for veterans while they were seated at their breakfast tables, and the SMS Art Department was the recipient of some charitable work as well, as the Knights of Columbus presented our Principal, Mrs. D'Angelo with a check for three hundred dollars to be used for art supplies and materials.
While the breakfast annually marks the end of National Catholic Schools Week, take a moment to check out all of the fun we've had, as well as how SMS continues to offer MORE than your average school by clicking on the links below:
