Throughout the school year, we present an article in the bulletin each week providing updates from St. Margaret’s School, written by a member of our school staff.

SMOS School News

by Patrick Holley, Principal

Happy first week of school!  I am so excited to have all of the students and teachers back in the building.  I want to thank all of those who helped prepare for this school year.  If you happen to stop by campus, I am sure many of you will see some of the capital improvements we have made. 

Most prominent is a new fence and gate system that was purchased using the proceeds from last year’s Trivia Night and a donation from our PTA organization. This will provide further safety for our students playing on the playground during recess and keep some of the balls from flying into the street. 

Some other improvements include: 

• A new permanent basketball hoop 
• A new roof on Faith Hall
• New flooring in Faith Hall 
• Plaster work in St. Joe

All these improvements take a team to complete.  I want to thank Carmela Garza and Deborah Elliott in the Parish office for helping organize and plan these improvements.  I also want to thank our PTA organization for providing funds to make our school a better, safer physical environment.
