Book Fair:
We sponsor two book fairs a year: one before Christmas
and one in the spring. Children and parents have the
opportunity to buy paper back books from a wide variety
of subject matters.
School Musicales:
Christmas Pagent and Spring Musicale are
mandatory music shows.
A written excuse needs to be
given to the teacher if your child/children
cannot attend.
Catholic Schools Week:
The last week of January is reserved to celebrate the
pride in our Catholic School heritage. Our celebrations
include special liturgies, teacher appreciation day, open
house and a special grandparents meal.
May Procession:
In honor of our Blessed Mother we celebrate with
the parish in a May procession and the crowning
of Mary.
Field Day:
At the end of each school year, St. Matthew's
students compete in field events such as foot
races, long jump, pull ups, ball throw, jump
rope, etc. Emphasis is placed on having fun.
Dress-up Days:
Dress-up days (no uniforms required) are the first and
last days of school and picture days. Please see the handbook for specific requirements.
Graduation:
Graduation from the 8th Grade at St. Matthew's is a very
special time for our children. The 7th Grade hosts and
serves the dinner for the graduating class. We gather for
a special ceremony followed by a reception and
dancing.
We proudly gather in the celebration that
completes the foundation for their academic and religious
future.
