First Full Week of School at Saint Mary's

Orientations, school pictures, retreats, tech workshops... a busy week of programs last week at Saint Mary's was followed by the Labor Day holiday and today is the first full day of school at Peralta Park.  A welcome assembly was held this morning and everyone's back to classes, including several new faculty members.  This week also includes a full sports calendar, with girls' tennis vs. Pinole Valley today at the Memorial Park courts in Albany at 3:30, volleyball vs. Piedmont, more tennis at Salesian tomorrow, and football at Miramonte on Friday.  Parents will attend the annual Back to School Night on Thursday, and students will participate in a Digital Ethics presentation on Friday as Saint Mary's welcomes iPads to the classroom this year.  Parent volunteers are busy signing up online for school support opportunities this school year.

Congrats, Alumni!  Saint Mary's congratulates 1968 alumnus Don Accornero and his family at Oaks Jewelers who are Grand Marshals of Sunday's Solano Avenue Stroll Parade.  Panther baseball alum Marcus Semien '08 (also Cal Bears) was called up from AAA to the majors by the Chicago White Sox this past Sunday.
