A Message From The Superintendent...
May 2013
Dear St. Mary’s School for the Deaf Stakeholders:
The fourth academic quarter is in full swing and the students are excited for all of the May and June events at our school. Our focus, however, remains on working together so our students achieve all of the academic goals for the 2012-2013 school year.
On April 14th, St. Mary’s School for the Deaf received the official Accreditation Certificate at the CEASD (Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf) Annual Conference. We are very proud of this prestigious accomplishment and appreciate all the hard work of our numerous stakeholders. Our community will continue to “do what is right for students” as we are committed to recertifying in another five years.
The Annual Music Show was held on April 19th in the Main Building Assembly Hall. Music Teacher Joyce Trautman and our students did a tremendous job again!
“The King & I” drama production is May 1st and May 2nd at 7 p.m. in the Father Gallagher Gym. Our students and staff have been practicing very hard and we expect another awesome production!
St. Mary’s School for the Deaf is hosting the ESDAA Girls & Boys Track & Field Championships on Saturday, May 11th. The competition will be held at Amherst High School. Please join us for an exciting event showcasing athletes from several deaf schools!
The International Ethnic Festival will take place on Thursday, May 23rd on campus.
Please note! School will be in session on Friday, May 24th.
Our doors are always open and we welcome visitors to come and see what a special place our campus is. Please feel free to contact us to make an appointment for a tour.
Child First!
Sincerely,
Timothy M. Kelly
Superintendent
