Happy Feast Day of John Paul II

When I was growing up, I always had a special place for Pope John Paul II in my heart. In retrospective, I'm not entirely certain why. I think it has something to do with his Polish roots, and perhaps that he resembles my Papa (my dad's dad) to an extent. I've always had a feeling that John Paul II watches over me and guides me. I've had dreams where he protects me from evil and dangers that could harm my heart. I've had dreams where he passes his mission on to me. I've got a special connection with this Polish man, now a Saint of the Catholic Church, and am very grateful for this. Happy Feast Day Papa Giovanni Paulus! You are very dear to me and I am blessed to know you!

Welcome back to school!

Hello Saint Mary Students! Welcome back for another great year of fun, learning, loving, and music making! My name is Miss Erika Rybinski and I will be teaching Band, Glee Club, and Religion/Christian Ethics this 2016-2017 school year!

Just a bit about myself...
I am a very recent graduate of the University of Saskatchewan Music Education program and my major instrument is trombone! That being said, I love all the instruments with my whole heart. I am also a singer-songwriter on the side, and you can check out my artist's page on Facebook @ www.facebook.com/erikastarmusic . I will be releasing a single and music video in mid-October, so please keep that in mind!

I am very excited to build a strong music and faith community here at Saint Mary! I welcome you all with a smile and very likely, a "rock on" sign.

PEACE!
-Miss Rybinski
