This week we had a survey crew take measurements of our entire campus layout and a team came to drill in the athletics field for the geotech study. These are important steps toward preparation of the site for the construction of our new Gym! Furthermore, the Parish Building Committee, working together with our architect, is making great progress on the schematic designs for our double gymnasium.
UPDATE!
And the winning streak continues...
The St. Matthew Football team beat out St. John Bosco 33-0 last Saturday night!
Our Soccer Team beat St. Luke on Weds. 6 to 1, and they won against St. Peter & Paul last night, 5 to 0!
Volleyball A Team won against St. Anthony on Tuesday & again yesterday against Providence!

SMCS Cheer Clinic2016
Our Cheer Clinic was a huge success thanks to our awesome Coach, Bianca Nuckols, our cheer squad, and mascots. It was so amazing to see how much fun the little ones were having and how in awe they were with our cheerleaders! Our Cardinal was also a huge hit as usual!

PSIA COACHES WANTED!!!Ready to share your Time and Talent?
Over the last three years, our kids have been incredibly successful during PSIA competition in all categories. Last year alone, we had:
52 winners in the top six at district, 21 were elgibile to compete at state, and
6 of our students placed in the top six at state.
Gabriella Collins’ (3rd grade) award-winning writing piece was even featured in the PSIA handbook this year!
Much of our students’ success can be attributed to the dedication of the exemplary coaches who volunteered their time all year to help prepare the students for academic competition. Please consider helping our students achieve similar results again this year! See the PSIA flyer for more details and contact Mrs. Laurie Perez at
