St Mary’s School has teamed up with Hamann’s Helping Hands again this holiday season to help gathering gifts for children that are spending the holidays in the hospital. We will be collecting gifts until December 20.

St. Mary's Home and School Association is sponsoring a Calendar Raffle for the month of January. Please contact the school office at 608-994-2435 if you are interested in purchasing a chance to win. All money must be turned in by December 20.

The annual "Christmas Club" where you can donate money for gifts for the staff has begun. Donations may be left at the parish office or school.

The SCRIP program will be holding a scrip push again this year. SCRIP is a great way to raise money for our church and school year-round. This year, we aim to sell $30,000 from November 24th to December 31st. SCRIP has over 150 companies supporting our program, including local businesses in Bloomington. Last year we met our goal quickly, and during catholic schools' week, the students of St. Mary’s enjoyed pizza from Route 35. If our SCRIP goal is met, the Home and School Association will help us host a pizza and movie party this year. We are very appreciative of their generosity. SCRIP may be purchased at Economy Feed Mill or the school. If you have questions about SCRIP please reach out to Cara Drew 608-778-4530

Share the gift of life by donating blood. The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at St. Mary School in Bloomington from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 25.

Everyone is invited to attend this fun, family event and enjoy the yummy breakfast, craft show, raffle, delicious Christmas cookies & candy, and visit with Santa on Sunday, Dec. 1 at St. Mary's School in Bloomington.
