Notes from Nancy Hicks, Elementary Principal
JC our Super Hero is the theme for St. Mary’s Elementary School this year.
Throughout the year we will be learning about true heroes on earth today.
We are blessed with an amazing staff. Two of our elementary staff members have
been working at SME for over 30 years. Mrs. Burrow (beginning her 35th year) and
Mrs. Tener (beginning her 33 year)! Mr. Mike Watt, our PE teacher, is starting his
29th year at SME. The following staff have been with us over 10 years; Chris
Bettega, Marsha Duran, Lisa Harris, Donna Landrith, Kristen O’Brien, and Lisa
Russell. Staff that we share with the high school includes, Bev Pommier, Valeska
Lauderdale, and Cathy Oplotnik. We also have Sharon Compton who is our very
devoted Catechesis of the Good Shepherd teacher.
We are “SUPER” excited to be adding a Science Fair, Social Studies special days
and a Celebration of Writing. Our technology continues to grow as we have
added 21 I-Pads for teacher use in the classrooms. Procuring a variety of grants
made the I-Pads a reality. All staff members are eager to engage their students
with this great interactive tool.
Most importantly, we attend Mass as a school and pray an all-school rosary every
Friday.
Jonny Adamson at Shrine Bowl
2013 SMC graduate Jonny Adamson represented St. Mary’ Colgan at the Shrine
Bowl All Star Cross Country Race held on July 27 at Washburn University in
Topeka. Jonny finished 8th in the 2 mile race with a time of 10:58. Jonny will
continue to run at Coffeyville Community College.

manager of the Arizona Rookie Dodgers. He was recently interviewed about his
roots, growing up in Pittsburg, attending St. Mary’s Colgan Schools and his family.

Locating Alumni
We continually strive to improve our St. Mary’s Colgan Alumni data base. We
have worked to create a more accurate listing of all who graduated from SMC. In
doing this, some names have been added to the data base who are probably
deceased. If you know that someone on the list below is deceased, please let me
know. We have also lost track of alumni as they have moved. If you have a
current address for someone on the list, please send it to me at
[email protected]. Thank you for your help.
