Such a wonderful time to be a part of St. Mary’s Grade School! We are grateful for your choice to send your child(ren) to our school. Every lesson, prayer, and moment of growth is our way of showing you it was the right call. Click here to check what has been going on in our building this quarter from grade levels, specials, Virtues-Based Restorative Discipline (VBRD), Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) and more!
Match Madness is our community-wide giving event supporting the Endowments of both St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart. Our endowments help ensure Catholic education remains accessible to as many families as possible.
Fun Way to Participate:
Students at SH can earn a Jeans Day and Students at SMGS can earn a Dress Down Day on Thursday, March 12 if their FAMILY makes a $10 donation to Match Madness.
To participate:
---Bring a $10 check to school by Wednesday, March 11 (We cannot collect cash for this.)
---Make checks payable to Greater Salina Community Foundation
---Include the school’s name in the memo line.
---If either school can have The Most Donors or Most Improved # of Donors, the school will receive a $750 prize...potentially $1500 if we win both!
Thank you for considering your donation to this year's Match Madness!
Together with our three Salina parishes, we are beginning a prayerful and intentional process to strengthen St. Mary’s Grade School and deepen our shared Catholic mission. As we look ahead to a faith-forward future for our students and families, we invite you to join us for a series of Listening Sessions this January.
Your voice and perspective truly matter. These sessions are designed for us to share our hopes and ideas as we discern together our path forward. Listening Sessions will take place during Catholic Schools Week, and we encourage you to attend a session and join the conversation.

Listening Session #1: January 28, 9:00 a.m. — Parish Hall
