St. Mary-St. Augustine School was formed in the Spring of 2008 when St. Mary’s of Belleville merged with St. Augustine School, also in Belleville. This first year has been a year of change. Through it all, students are shining, bringing much recognition to the “newest Catholic School in Belleville.” We recently pulled this list together – our accomplishments as a newly merged school so far this first year (as of April 23, 2009):

 

Sports highlights:

- SMSA 5th & 6th grade girls Basketball Team are 1st Place Diocesan Champions,

- SMSA 8th grade boys Volleyball Team are also 1st Place Diocesan Champions

- SMSA 8th gr. boys Volleyball team won 1st place in the St. James Tournament at the beginning of March

Other highlights:

Hallway project at St. Mary-St. Augustine School. Some of the teachers have been working on a plan to redecorate the halls of our school. We will focus on the theme:”Looking to the Future, Thankful for the Past”. A new mural will greet visitors as they enter the doors by the office. The Primary wing will become our “SMSA Wing” and awards and pictures from our “new school” will be displayed there. The Intermediate hallway will be our “Looking at the Past” Wing and awards and pictures from past classes at St. Mary and St. Augustine Schools will be displayed. You are invited to visit us and see the work in progress!
