Kherrigan is in grade 4 and loving school at St. Mary's. Her favorite part of being at school is being with her friends and spreading her infectious laugh.
Kherrigan loves PBJ sandwiches, yogurt, her brother and sister riding her bike and music. Every night at 7 o'clock we have a dance party, where she is the DJ. She is the coolest DJ ever!

7 pm on May 6th 2019 in St. Mary's Church Annex a Fundraising Planning Meeting for the 2019/20 school year will take place.

We encourage you all to join us so you can take part in the planning of our next school year's fundraising and community building activities.

Have a great idea for an event?! Please come along and share your ideas...

All the planning for the 2019/20 school year has to take place this May/Jun as the school gym has to be booked far in advance as there are many other church groups that book the gym too...

Don't wait until September to share your ideas, we need to hear them now!

If your happy for current events to continue, great! If you would like to suggest alternative ideas, great! See you at the meeting!

Ideally you'll come in person, but we understand busy schedules and babysitting needs, therefore if you can't attend the meeting? No problem, please email ksgouraditis@saintmarysschool.ca with any ideas you wish to share.

Tea and coffee will be served!
