Middletown Mayor Tony Perry visited Saint Mary School last Thursday to sign a proclamation in honor of Catholic Schools Week. In addition to marking Catholic Schools Week, the proclamation recognized the excellent education provided to area students by Saint Mary. Catholic Schools Week, which this year ran from Sunday, Jan. 29, to Friday, Feb. 3, is an annual event that highlights the outstanding educational opportunities offered by the nation’s Catholic schools. Mayor Perry is also a Saint Mary parent, with a child in Pre-k.

After student teaching in a public school, I recognized that the Catholic school environment is a better fit for me. I’ve been at Saint Mary School for more than 15 years, and have chosen
to give my son a Catholic education at Saint Mary, as well. This school provides a more personable education for every student. I love teaching here because faith binds us all together."
