Christmas Community Dinner – Please Consider Making a Donation, and please RSVP
Seasons Greetings,
In the upcoming Christmas season of giving, the staff at St. Mary’s High School, are excited to be continuing the long-standing tradition of preparing and serving a free pasta dinner and treats from Santa for students, parents and guardians of SMH.
While all members of the SMH community are welcome to attend, we particularly encourage families who are new to the country or region and/or families that truly need and appreciate a communal hot meal on a December evening.
This year, the dinner will be held on Thursday, December 4th at 6pm in the cafeteria. Please RSVP by November 24th – click HERE to RSVP.
While the school accepts the cost of this event, we know that the greater SMH community is very kind and generous. We are asking parents and guardians that are in a position to do so, to please consider making a financial contribution to help offset the costs of feeding 500 Eagles and family members.
The school happily accepts personal contributions via

Student Activity Fee – Ensuring our Robust Student Life Continues!
Hello Parents and Guardians!
A friendly reminder that payment of the St. Mary’s Student Activity fee ($50) is now available on SCO. If you have already paid, we thank you very much!
The $50, which has remained unchanged for many years, goes directly to supporting student life at the school, ensuring that the true costs of sports teams, clubs and the countless events are manageable. The Student Activity fee also covers costs for students who are not in a position to cover all or some of their fees.
Your support ensures Eagles continue to have a second-to-none student life, thank you!
