Upcoming:
We’re thrilled to invite you to a magical night of twirls, laughter, and lasting memories at this year’s Father & Daughter Dance: An Enchanted Evening. This memorable night will take place on Friday, June 27th from 6 to 9 PM in the St. Michael Parish Large Hall.
It's a beautiful opportunity to slow down, share some joyful moments, and celebrate the special bond between fathers and daughters. Tickets are $20 per family.
To purchase tickets or learn more, just visit smparentsclub.info. We are also in need of volunteers to make the night magical. Please reach out to the Cassie Mish or our Parents club if you are interested in volunteering – pc@smpschool.org ! We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a magical and joy-filled evening!
We would also like to thank all those who took part in our Bake Sale this past weekend to help fund this special event.
