Dear St. Martin Community,
Our Great Cash giveaway was a tremendous success! The SMA community is so generous and supportive. Thank you to Co-Chairs, Mari Waldron, Teresa Propper, Ally Reyes, and their committees. We surpassed last year's gala by raising approximately $74,000. Over 170 people attended the “SuperHeroes Unite” event at the Chula Vista Golf Course.
We have a few unsold baskets. On Monday, parents will be emailed remaining items to bid on from the event. Thank you to everyone who supported our school with a donation or purchasing an auction item. An accounting of funds raised will be coming in the next few weeks.
We are seeking new families to get involved with planning the gala. Interested? Please contact the office.

Friday, 11/11, school is closed in observance of Veteran's Day. Thank you, Mrs. Covey, for displaying the pictures of family members who served in the military. Thank you, veterans, for your service! May God bless you always.
Tomorrow is also the Feast of St. Martin of Tours. A popular story of St. Martin details how he helped a man shivering in the cold. St. Martin tore his cloak with his sword and shared half of it with the man. We are called to cloth the poor and needy. Please continue to send in blankets through next week for our brothers and sisters in need (Catholic Charities drop off prior to Thanksgiving break).
Report cards will be given to teachers on Wednesday 11/16 to be sent home or held for conferences. Refer to your child's teacher's communications. Next week is a special opportunity to meet with your child's teacher to learn about one of your favorite topics: your child! Thank you for your partnership in educating your child.
Thank you,
Jennifer Miller, Principal
