DEEPER EMPATHY IS ONLY ONE BENEFIT OF BEING MULTILINGUAL

In recognition of International Mother Language Day, linguistics professor Janet
Nicol talks about the benefits of speaking more than one language. In addition
to cognitive benefits, being multilingual "makes people more empathetic, making
them understand what it might be like to live in a particular culture," she
says.

CRAZY 8 FREE DRESS DAYS

Support our graduates as they inch closer to ending their time at our beloved
school and setting sail for High School!!! There are no more Crazy 8 Free Dress
days for the year, but the class fundraiser link is still open for any who would
like to contribute and boost end of year activities for our oldest Mavericks and
send them off in style:

8th Grade Fundraising





MAC ANNUAL BUDGET

The GAP we started with at the beginning of the year was $169,700 (much larger
than usual because of start up costs with Segundo and installation of AC in the
gym), and with help from the entire community we came very close to completely
closing it! Every year our fundraising efforts outdo the previous year, enabling
our school to forge ahead and take calculated risks for advancing our mission.
We may sound like a broken record, but this year was definitely one for the
record books! THANK YOU ALL for your tremendous support!



We’re just a few thousand dollars away from completely closing the gap, and you
know how much we love to surpass goals! So we’re making one last push to help
get there by offering Free Dress for $15 during the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL
(5/20-5/24). That’s Free Dress ALL week, including Wednesday! Please adhere to
the Dress Code and dress appropriately for mass. Let’s help the school end the
year in the black! Buy your student’s pass here: Close the Gap with Your
Favorite Clothes

VISION & EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY VISION & EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY


VISION

SMMS is a Catholic, dual language, co-educational school of empowerment.
Students engage in a dynamic academic experience preparing them for college and
heaven. SMMS cultivates a growth mindset, biliteracy and strong virtue inspired
by the Gospel and Church Tradition. SMMS offers opportunities to grow in
excellence through myriad faith experiences, including mass multiple times per
week, weekly adoration, daily Religion classes and hourly prayer, Christian
service programs, as well as diverse extracurricular programs, including
Athletics, Clubs, and academic excellence programs. SMMS embraces and supports
students with highly diverse abilities and needs through our Counseling and
Academic Intervention programs. The student learning experience is infused with
the latest in outdoor learning as well as educational technology, including a
1:1 Chromebook program, Imagine Español, Accelerated Reader, MYON and
SuccessMaker academic software. SMMS prepares and supports Pre-K3 through 8th
grade students to excel in high school and college through the Graduate Support
Program.





PHILOSOPHY

St. Mary Magdalen Dual Language Catholic School aims to form lifelong disciples
of Jesus Christ, who is its foundation and center. Our education, therefore,
works in concert with the Church’s mission of salvation and evangelization to
offer robust opportunities to experience personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
Ours is a counter-cultural education that prioritizes absolute truth and
community, imbuing students with the physical, moral, intellectual and spiritual
gifts necessary to build the Kingdom of God. These gifts are strengthened
through abundant and myriad experiences of prayer, Sacred Scripture and
liturgical and sacramental tradition. Our school prioritizes partnership with
parents and families. We recognize and support parents as the primary educators,
who have the responsibility to raise their children in a loving, moral and
faithful manner. As educators, we seek to extend and deepen this upbringing
through our witness and sharing of encounters with Christ. These relationships
are rooted in and guided by Trinitarian love, whereby the students learn to
trust in Jesus Christ through personal and communal prayer experiences, of which
the most important is the mass, the source and summit of our faith. At St. Mary
Magdalen Dual Language Catholic School, we develop each student in virtue,
educating students to recognize and celebrate their own Dignity as children of
God, as well as others. This education in virtue is part of a cultural heritage
that cultivates a Christian worldview. In transmitting this heritage, we strive
to ensure that our students can think critically and grow in human and divine
wisdom, going on to lead lives rooted in virtue and commitment to building the
Kingdom of God.
