You do not have to be an expert on education to join council. We just need interested people to care about our school and take on the task of learning about St. Mary’s, to help make it grow in a positive and vibrant manner. Parents who are focused, have good ideas, and enjoy working with others for the betterment of the school community are needed to participate on council.
