Mission and History ………3
The three cornerstones of the Saint Mary
School mission are academics, faith, and
community. In this, our second Annual
Report, we celebrate our community
which supports all that we do. Each
and every one of you is helping us
achieve our mission, whether you give us your time by
volunteering, or contribute to our financial viability, or pray
for our students and teachers. We are in this together!

Technology was a huge focus for us this past year, and we
upgraded our wireless infrastructure and purchased iPads
for all of our teachers as a result of your generosity. In
addition, over the summer we completely refurbished the
Computer Lab with new Chromebooks. This all helped lay
the foundation for the Middle School students transitioning
to iPads in January 2014.
I cannot reflect back on the 2012-2013 school year without the
Sandy Hook tragedy coming to mind. Our world changed
that December day. As you know, we completely reviewed
and changed our security protocols with the support and
input of the town of Ridgefield and Saint Mary Parish. We
continue to pray for our neighbors in Newtown.
Our students at Saint Mary School are thriving, not just in
their studies, but spiritually and socially as well. Thank you
once again for all of your support!
Blessings and Peace,

Our Mission
Saint Mary School is committed to
academic excellence,
a strong f a i t h b a s e d e d u c a t i o n ,
and a nurturing c o m m u n i t y e n v i r o n m e n t
where students thrive
intellectually, spiritually, and socially.
Our History
In 1954, Saint Mary Parish purchased land on High Ridge Avenue for a school, and opened
Saint Mary School with first through third grades in temporary quarters. The new school
building, completed in 1956, was designed for 400 pupils. With an addition put on, it held
600 students by the late 1960’s. The school was closed due to a lack of teaching nuns in June,
1971.
After 25 years of dormancy, the Saint Mary Parish community had the courage and foresight
to reinvest in the future of our young people. In September, 1996, 20 children entered
Kindergarten at the rededicated Saint Mary School. One grade was added each year, and in
2005 the first 8th grade class of the “new” Saint Mary School graduated. Those graduates
have just completed college and are entering the “adult world”.
Saint Mary School has achieved so much since its re-opening 16 years ago. SMS is one of the
highest performing schools in the country, and was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon
Award winner. Our students are happy and thriving, with high testing performance, strong
high school and college placement, numerous academic and community service awards, and
a demonstrable commitment to Catholic values.

A Farewell to Mrs. Moffat
PRINCIPAL’S NOTE:
One of our cornerstones at Saint Mary School is our community. We said goodbye to a longtime
member of our Saint Mary family, second grade teacher Mrs. Pam Moffat, who moved this summer. In
her twelve years at SMS, she saw us grow and evolve, and contributed greatly to our success. Whether
you remember her from second grade, from tutoring, from her contributions to the Student Teacher
Basketball games, she touched our hearts! A special thanks to SMS Class of 2010 Alumni, Victoria
Rio, for her profile of Mrs. Moffat.
When Pam Moffat arrived twelve years ago as the Second Grade teacher,
Saint Mary School was a very different place. Chalkboards, not whiteboards,
lined the classroom walls, gym class took place in the Hall, and the oldest
students were fifth, not eighth, graders. Over the years, Mrs. Moffat has
witnessed the school grow and has contributed much to that development.
Although she is now leaving Saint Mary, her influence on the school
community will undoubtedly remain.
Her colleagues respect Mrs. Moffat’s commitment to and passion for teaching,
as well as her dedication to students and faculty alike. According to Fourth
Grade teacher Karen Fahey, Mrs. Moffat “is always willing to go the extra
foot, yard, mile, for any of her colleagues. She is a wealth of information in all
Mrs. Pam Moffat with SMS Class of 2010 alum,
Cara Capilli
subject areas, and consequently, a great resource and helper.” When asked
what memories come to mind about Mrs. Moffat, Mrs. Fahey jokes,
“Laminating!” demonstrating how her colleague’s enthusiasm and cheerful attitude extend even to the
mundane.
For Mrs. Moffat, the best part of teaching is the children: “the things they say, the things they do, their
innocence.” Getting to know each student individually, learning and recognizing that child’s strengths and
weaknesses, and helping him or her to learn and grow is the most rewarding experience that she could
imagine. Mrs. Moffat will continue teaching at a new school, Third Grade, rather than Second, but she will
undoubtedly establish traditions like those that she started at Saint Mary.
One time-honored tradition to which every second grader looks forward is a visit from Harry, a stuffed bear
who travels to the home of each student over the course of the year. With his soft beige fur and cheerful, sewed
-on smile, Harry’s appearance does not betray his many years of traveling. Each day, he departs the classroom
in style, complete with a tote bag containing his extensive wardrobe, and spends the afternoon and night at a
lucky student’s house. Over the years, Harry has attended countless practices and games of every sport
imaginable, made friends with dozens of cats, dogs, and other pets, and been to dance recitals, birthday parties,
4
sleepovers, movie nights, and much more. All of his travels are recorded in journals so that neither he nor the
students can forget their time spent together. The coveted day for a visit from Harry is, of course, Friday, so as
to have an entire weekend of adventures to add to the journal. And, as a souvenir of his time spent with each
student, Harry receives a new item of clothing to add to his tote bag for future travels.
Mrs. Moffat’s classroom is a vibrant and active one. Students dive into the prehistoric era with the dinosaur
project, explore books more in-depth through monthly book reports, and channel their inner journalists by
creating their own issues of Time magazine. According to a former student, "there's never a dull moment!"
Over the course of the year, with activities designed to combine learning and enjoyment, Mrs. Moffat guides
the students through the important transition from first to third graders.
After school, Mrs. Moffat is equally active and busy, as shown by her
commitment to the American Girl Doll enrichment program. She was inspired
to create this popular after-school activity after meeting Pleasant Rowland, the
founder and manufacturer of American Girl dolls, in Vermont. Now, once a
week, SMS elementary school girls and their dolls gather for an afternoon of
learning and fun, jumping into the past through crafts and activities themed
according to the cultural and historical context of each doll’s story. “I try to go
with what the dolls are known for,” says Mrs. Moffat. For example, she has the
girls paint wooden spoons in order to bring alive the story of Kirsten, a
Swedish doll whose family built a new life on the American frontier during the
1850s.
Incoming Grade 2 teacher Miss Amanda Johnson with
Mrs. Pam Moffat
Although Saint Mary has changed over the past twelve years, Mrs. Moffat’s approach to teaching has not. She
bases her philosophy on forming relationships with her students founded on mutual respect and kindness.
Mrs. Moffat strives, in her own words, “to give each child individual recognition, to listen to what they have to
say, and to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each individual.” In a classroom where learning and
fun have equal importance, she makes school a place that fosters not only intellectual curiosity but also sharing
and enjoyment.
Her departure is bittersweet, combining the sadness of goodbyes with the comfort of happy memories and the
excitement of new horizons. Therefore, in saying goodbye to Mrs. Moffat, the SMS community looks to the
words of Dr. Seuss: “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
2012-2013 Annual Fund
From the Annual Fund Chairman
On behalf of the entire Saint Mary School community, thank you for your support. During the 2012-2013 school year, parents, staff, alumni, and
friends contributed $169,950 and exceeded our fundraising goal. Your generous donations ensure the viability and sustainability of the school and
advance the spiritual, moral, intellectual, and physical development of all students.
The SMS Annual Fund is the cornerstone of all fund raising for the School. Proceeds from the Fund are an essential component of the school's budget,
used for a variety of key operating expenses, capital expenditures, annual staff appreciation awards and future reserves. As part of our mission to make a
high quality Catholic education accessible to all, we strive to keep our tuition affordable and we offer significant financial assistance to those in need.
Therefore, we rely on the Annual Fund as a crucial component of our annual budget. I am encouraged by our continued fundraising progress and
hopeful we can expand the breadth and depth of our efforts during the next school year. To that end, I am excited to introduce John Butala as the Annual
Fund Chairman for 2013-2014. John has insightful fundraising experience and is committed to the SMS mission. We are fortunate to have him
coordinate our fundraising efforts and I wish him the best of luck.
Thank you again for your generous support.

A School Prayer
God, our Father,
Creator of all good things
in the world and within our school community:
We thank you for the gift of this day,
for our families and friends
and for this safe place to learn and grow.
We ask You to bless all who teach and learn.
Through Your Holy Spirit,
guide us as we grow in faith and love
and give us the courage
to be more like Your Son.
We ask this, in Jesus' name.
Amen.
