We are a group of alumnae, educators, and friends who are proud to offer programs that embody the well-rounded education St.

Margaret’s has always been known for.

In the past, we have held alumnae volunteer days and gardening days to help beautify our campus. For SMS Day next week, we would like to bring that tradition back.

For any alums who are available on Friday morning 11/13, please come and lend a hand with our crew. We will be tackling flower beds, paint, moving items, and spot cleaning our new space.

Meet at the Phillips House from 9:00-11:00 am.
Please bring any cleaning supplies and tools with you. Every little bit helps!

If you are able to attend either or both SMS Day events, please use our RSVP link. Event details are also posted on the St. Margaret's Day FB event page.

Thank you to our sisterhood and community for coming together!

For the entire month of November, our alumnae will be duking it out in this year's Blue-Grey giving challenge.

Each team has their own link to raise funds toward a $25,000 match.
On Giving Tuesday (December 1st), we will see which team will take the win.

Thank you to James H. Cary Intermediate School for having us at yesterday's Saddle Up and Read event!

Our girls made Kids/YA book trivia cards for the students and each correct answer earned a trip to plinko prize board.

This week at Healthy Harvest Food Bank, we put fish into our aquaponic tanks. We have the baby tilapia balance the water, and checked all the temperatures and chemical ratios. Then, we bagged 130 pounds of lettuce for the food pantry.

We’re also happy to announce that we’re partnering with Healthy Harvest for a new hands-on event.

On Wednesday, November 11th, any local homeschool programs are invited to join FSMS for a morning at Healthy Harvest in Warsaw. Learn about the community and environmental projects we’re doing, and help prep the food bank for the upcoming holiday.

This event is free to attend. Just bring canned goods or non-perishable food items to donate to the food bank. Check out the event page for updates and RSVP.
