| As a graduate of Saint Mary School, I was inspired to enter the field of education by my teachers here. I’ve always loved working with children because they approach learning and new experiences with such awe and wonder. My favorite part of the day is first thing in the morning. Saint Mary students arrive at school with smiles on their faces and joyous attitudes as they get ready to conquer the day ahead.” | |

8th grader Jake Hoffman's was selected to be a Red Bank Catholic Mercy Scholar which entitles him to receive one of RBC's Mercy Scholarships. Jack's academic achievements and his Catholic values have allowed him to be eligible for this four year scholarship in the amount of $5,000 per year. This helps Jake to continue his Catholic education at a recognized institution that is committed to those things that make Catholic education special: academic excellence, formation of the whole person, service to others, and a sense of purpose. Congratulations to Jake on receiving this honor. We know he will make us all proud as he becomes a Casey! | |
