Peace be with you! We are excited to announce that the next novena we will pray is the Christmas Novena! This was the very first novena we ever prayed through Pray More Novenas -- and that was eight years ago. At the time, we didn't have very many people subscribed to pray with us... And now, there are more than 450,000 people praying with us! Praise God for this community! We have prayed for the same general intention each year that we pray this novena, and that's for an end to abortion. There is no better time than to reflect on the most vulnerable of this world than during Advent and Christmas when we prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who comes to us as a small baby.

The SMA 2019 Junior Flower Show is fast approaching on January 31st! Each classroom is busy working on their grade's project selected by the teacher, but now we need to start thinking about EXTRA projects to do. Remember, you can choose to do ANY of the projects on the list. Technically, the more projects you make, the better chances you have at winning Best in Show and having your work displayed at the Philadelphia Flower Show PLUS getting free tickets. All of the projects are fun and easy to make, so let's make this our best SMA Junior Flower show ever!!! Thank you! God bless, Mr. “D”.

Judges in each regional contest bestow a variety of awards, and each contest features an online vote at WhatsSoCool.org for its Viewers Choice Award The teams of students and teacher coaches receive camera equipment, software, and professional guidance as they learn to script, record, and edit their video stories. The contest’s objective is to change students’ perceptions about manufacturing careers.
