might come to shower. Well, they have accomplished their dream and it
is called VIGILANT HOPE! The Scripture they are trying to live by
are the Words of the Prophet Micah – Act justly, love mercy, walk
humbly.
The group has retrofitted an old bus and, for the present, it is showing up
on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on the south side of
town. I am including the schedule that offers shower four times a week:
MONDAYS – 408 Willard St. 8:30 am – Walking together -Pancake
Breakfast and Worship and then Shower Trailer from 10am-11:30 am;
TUESDAYS – 1626 Lake Branch Drive – 10am-2pm Shower Trailer;
THURSDAYS – Walking together – Dinner with Shower Trailer until
7:30pm; SATURDAYS – 8am – 10am Trailer Shower with a Pancake
Breakfast at 9 am.
During these hot summer days, I am certain that each one of us can
imagine just what a shower means to someone who does not have access
to one. The people are so grateful and about 20 can be served each day
if needed.
The missionary team is supported by different faith communities across
the country and they hope to expand their services to the north side of
town and even get a commercial washer and dryer installed in the bus.
This definitely is one project some of the folks we serve will take
advantage of We applaud and support their caring and compassion. If
interested in learning more about it why not drop by and visit the project
– you will see Luke 10 in action!
Special Need for the Week:
We continue to serve the 35+ men and women who come each day
and will do so during the month of July. We will stop taking donations the middle of the month in preparation for our being closed during the month of August for some well deserved rest, relaxation and
renewal of our Outreach Area with deep cleaning and painting.
Come September, we will be in need of volunteers to pick up food on
the third Tuesday of the Month at Food Lion in Masonboro Commons. It is a hard job since coolers containing the food have to be
carried down our stairs to the Food area in the Ministry. A large car,
van or truck is needed to hold the coolers and two people doing it
really helps. The commitment takes about two hours, once a month.
If you are able to volunteer for this ministry, please call the Office at
762-5491 x135.

"Let your light so shine..." Matthew 5:16
We have just a few extra yearbooks for sale. If
you are interested in purchasing a yearbook for
$31.00, please see Mrs. Linn in the office.
By now, you are probably into your summertime routines or perhaps
have started on that long awaited vacation. The offices at school have
remained very busy as the summer projects and business continue.
Today I want to honor our graduates and give you a short update to
keep you informed.
As you know, we graduated 17 fine 8th graders during the last week of
school. Below are the honors that were awarded to the Class of 2016.

90% or better in all 5 core academic courses during 6th, 7th grades
and 1st semester of 8th) - Tara Bellows, Kenny Brown, Emilia Cordon, Kasey Kiser, Makenzie Payne, Madison Swart, and Conrad
Young
Msgr. Thomas P. Hadden Academic Achievement Award
(Recipient of Presidential Award, scored in 95th %-ile or better in core
subject areas of Sci. and Soc. St., and scored 99th %-ile in Eng., Lang.
Arts, and Math.) In addition to their extraordinary level of academic
success, these students model the loving, caring spirit of St. Mary
Catholic School for all who know them. - Kenny Brown, Emilia Cordon, and Madison Swart
Religion Award - Ana Maria Gomez
Math Award - Emilia Cordon, Kasey Kiser
Science Award - Emilia Cordon

received pins. - Tara Bellows, Kenny Brown, Emilia Cordon, Reaghan
Juelke, Olivia Kennedy, Georgia Anne Mead, Thomas Moore, Madison Swart, and Conrad Young.
Gifts were given to the entire class for passing the Global Literacy
Awareness Challenge.
Congratulations and blessings to the Class of 2016!

Kennedy, Kasey Kiser, Jonah Koenig, Georgia Mead, Thomas Moore,
Makenzie Payne, Izzabelle Stoneback, Madison Swart, Conrad Young
We are very proud of these students and know that they are prepared
to succeed in high school and higher education.
Gym and Elevator Progress - Gym cleaning and decorating continues. We look forward to celebrating the "Grand Opening" of the gym
at the beginning of school. The church's elevator project is well under
way. They have sealed off the construction area on both lower and
upper floors and hope to have the new elevator operating at the end of
the summer. Obviously, there are no functions occurring in the Upper
Room during this summer.
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Science Lab - We have one generous donor so far who is supporting
the creation of a new Science Lab on the 2nd floor of Tileston. Years
ago, the lab was in the back section of the present library and the plan
is to create the new lab in that same location. Toward the end of the
school year, a team of professionals has been meeting to create this
plan. So, Mr. Hogan has moved all of the library books to the skylight
room which will be the library until the lab is completed. Then we will
be moving Mrs. Brown's classroom into the new lab and will use her
present room for the lower grades' library.
Letters are being sent out to request further financial support for this
project which directly affects our students and their learning. We are
very excited about the changes.
In the coming days, you will receive details of the fundraising campaign for the lab. Please consider a donation to the project and feel
free to share it with friends and relatives who may also be willing to
help.
Staffing of School - I am actively interviewing for the several faculty
openings we have for the 2016-17 school year. I am delighted with the
quality of applicants with whom I have been meeting. I will let you
know when this process is complete.
New School App Ready to Test St. Mary School App from Appy City now available at App Store or
Google Play. Let us know what you think!
Congratulations to Mrs. Hudson on our Kitchen's Health Dept.
