First day fun!

Schoolkids are supposed to dread the first day back to school, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case at St. Mary's. Beginning Monday, there were hugs, laughs, coloring projects, new bookbags and lots of good energy at the corner of Perkins and Walnut Grove. Head over to the Goforth for a slideshow of the first days back at school, or like St. Mary's on Facebook, where you can comment on the first day cuteness.

You haven't heard of the Goforth? It's the new go-to spot on the St. Mary's Web site, with all the stuff that parents look for daily. Cafeteria menus -- hands down, the most popular thing on our site -- calendars, pictures, home page news, Haiku logins, everything.  Named for our beloved Bobbie Goforth, as well as for what St. Mary's girls do every day of the week: Go forth to love and serve. Have a look, and here's to the best school year ever.
