Parent School Organization (PSO)
The Parent School Organization (PSO) is comprised of all parents/guardians of St. Mary Magdalene Catholic School students.
The PSO's main goal is to build community within the school by sponsoring fun family activities, offering volunteer programs that enhance our Catholic faith, and coordinating fundraising efforts to benefit the school, students, and teachers. We are grateful for the support and participation of all parents, students, teachers and staff who make our school a special place to pray, learn, and care.
Parent involvement is a great asset to the StMM dynamic. The PSO invites you to volunteer your time and talents throughout the year.

Halloween events ARE COMING!
The Knights of Columbus will be onsite cooking up a storm, so no need to worry about dinner! Cash and credit cards will be accepted.
Out of respect for the Knights of Columbus and the massive amount of work they put into providing freshly cooked food for us all, please do not bring in any food to distribute, other than your trunk’s candy. Giveaways of meal items at your trunk can diminish their business.
Trunks - please enter ONLY via the Town Side Drive entrance, no earlier than 4:15pm.
Please bring a garbage bag and help our volunteers by cleaning the area around your trunk thoroughly, including candy wrappers!
Attendees - please enter ONLY via the Apex BBQ entrance and park in the church lot, beginning at 5PM. Consider bringing a bag or two of nut free candy to donate at the PSO info tent - trunks go through A LOT of candy!
IMPORTANT EVENT NOTES:
TRUNK OR TREAT - APPLIES TO ALL GRADES PRE-K THROUGH 8
- Entry time for trunks is 4:15 - please do not plan to keep your car in the parking lot after school and begin setting up early. The lot will be completely cleared by Admin after carpool is complete.
- The trunk or treat is not a drop off event, regardless of the age of your student - all students in grades PreK-8 MUST have an adult present and responsible for them the entire length of the event.
- The athletic fields will be closed for the evening.
- Candy must be nut free.
- No weapon-like or dangerous costume accessories will be permitted.
- The event is for StMM students and their families only.
MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE - APPLIES TO GRADES 6 THROUGH 8 ONLY
- The dance begins at 6pm, with entry only through the upper doors of the activity building. Please do not use rear parking lot/doors.
- Cell phones will be collected at the door. As this step slows the check in process, we encourage students to leave their phones at home for the evening!
- We are asking that students bring their own, labeled, refillable water bottle. 2 hours of dancing leaves the kids VERY thirsty. We will provide water refills!
- No masks, weapon-like or dangerous costume accessories will be permitted.
- Please eat dinner before arriving. Pizza will be served as a snack.
DANCE DISMISSAL
- Leaving early from the dance, unless in case of emergency, is strongly discouraged.
- At 8PM, students will be released from the upper activity building doors. The rear doors outside of the cafeteria will be inaccessible.
- Parents, please remain outside until your student is released. Please do not park in the back parking lot and use the rear doors. In the interest of safety and order, all entry and exit will be via the upper activity building doors only.

school assistance ministry (sam)
The School Assistance Ministry (SAM) exists to support members of the school community facing a medical hardship within their immediate family. The mission is simple: to remind families that they are not alone. Through a dedicated team of volunteers, SAM offers practical, compassionate support—including coordinating carpooling, babysitting, meal trains, house/yard work, and more.
Behind the scenes, the PSO helps connect families with the appropriate resources and volunteers. With coordination by SAM, school families have been supported through lunch and aftercare assistance, meal deliveries, restaurant gift cards, and—most importantly—a community rooted in care and understanding.
Families who wish to support the SAM effort are invited to do so in ways that feel comfortable and appropriate. Support may include responding to specific requests as they arise, offering prayers, contributing meals or gift cards, or supporting school-led efforts that make assistance possible. Every act of support—large or small—strengthens the community and helps ensure care is available when families need it most.
Families in need of support from are encouraged to reach out to sam@stmm.me. SAM chairperson Stephanie McFadden will work with the family—or a designated point of contact—to better understand needs and timing. If desired, volunteer opportunities may be shared with the school community through the weekly newsletter and the PSO website.
The hope is to continue building community, strengthening relationships, and living out Catholic values and the school motto in meaningful ways.
For parish members, SAM will collaborate with the Parish Assistance Ministry (PAM) to provide services.
