An Irish Prayer May God give you…… For every storm, a rainbow For every tear, a smile For every care, a promise And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song. And an answer for each prayer. God of our ancestors. Give us the strength and courage of St Patrick, so we may bring the love and joy of your kingdom to all the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. All the staff of St Mike’s wishes you and your family a very happy St Patrick’s Day!

SMA School will be a STREAM: Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, & Math School 2019/2020 STREAM is an extension of STEM. It is an acronym for Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Math. (As a faith based Catholic School Religion is taught throughout the curriculum and across all subjects!) Our teachers begin in servicing this April! • What is STEM Education? What is STEM Education? STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. • Awesome News! New STEM Pilot Program coming to St Mike's!! Awesome News! I just received a phone call from Sister Edwards (Head of Curriculum for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia). She informed me we are picked to be part of a new AOP STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) Pilot Program. Teacher training, flexible scheduling, etc.. Only two Catholic schools in Bucks County will have it. and St Mike's will be one of them! God's light, Mr. "D".
