St. Mark School 8th Grader, Kate Quinn, collected $670 and over 200 books for "New Books for Kids/Project Flight". All the book donations will go to Western New York children who cannot afford to buy their own books and the financial donations will be used to purchase books for children who have special needs. We are very proud of Kate and would like to thank everyone who assisted her with this charitable event.
During Catholic Schools Week, two of our 4th grade students, Ryan Lakamp and Colin Pritchard, dressed up as their Pastor, Fr. Joe Rogliano for Celebrity Day.
On February 16th, 2012, St. Mark School had a special visitor in honor of Black History Month.
