The first school bus pulls up to St Martin's, and Mrs. Leahy officially welcomes the students back to school.

The new school year has arrived and with it some new faces.

Our car riders and their families begin to arrive as well.

A big smile and a warm hug--the best welcome back!

The school year begins with the official ringing of the bell . . .

. . . and then it is off to class.

We begin each day with prayers, followed by a patriotic song. A group of our kindergartners helped us harmonize.

After two months away from classmates, there is much to catch up on.

It was a wonderful first day. There will be many exciting days ahead during our journey through the 2012-2013 school year. Please join us as we continue to post events and activities. Also, be sure to explore the St. Martin's Blog.
