The St. Michael boys Cross Country team was recognized and presented with a Resolution today at the State Capital in honor of their State Championship! This marked the first time in SMA history a team won a State title.
Seniors Diego and Cam proudly represented St. Michael the Archangel on January 29th, 2024, at the Raymond James Stadium to play in the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl. The boys were nominated by their high school coaches to attend the All-American Regional Combine in the summer of 2023. They performed exceptionally well and were recruited by NFL veterans and coaching staff, inviting them to the exclusive and invite-only Blue-Grey All-American Bowl in Tampa, Florida.
Both boys had a fantastic experience. The talent they witnessed was unbelievable, giving them a glimpse of what it takes to play at the next level. After graduation, Diego will continue to play football and will make his college choice soon. Cam has committed to play QB at Ave Maria University, Naples, Florida.
Way to go boys!

The track meet at Lone Jack today, March 26, has been canceled due to inclement weather.
Students began their Monday of Holy Week by praying the Stations of the Cross.
My Lord, Jesus Christ,
You have made this journey to die for me with unspeakable love; and I have so many times ungratefully abandoned You. | But now I love You with all my heart; and, because I love You, I am sincerely sorry for ever having offended You. Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany You on this journey. You go to die for love of me; I want, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of You. My Jesus, I will live and die always united to You.

Serving Others:
Today ends our week of the Spring Big Give and our students and families went above and beyond! This year SMA partnered with Uplift, a wonderful organization that delivers care and compassion to the homeless. Uplift stated that this was the first time partnering with a school and that they needed to bring 2 vans in order to pick up the thirty 60 gallon bags of clothes (about 2,750 items) that was generously donated by SMA!
