  Saint Margaret Mary School 
Quality Education since 1949   
 
 
 
 
  Saint Margaret Mary School is renowned in the Harrisburg area for its academic excellence. For the past 50 years our goal has been to provide the best possible Catholic education for every student. This goal is maintained through a dedicated faculty and staff committed to Catholic education. 
 
 
  At the present time, St. Margaret Mary School maintains an enrollment of approximately 350 students. Our curriculum is based upon the graded courses of study developed by the Education Office of the Diocese of Harrisburg and approved by the State of Pennsylvania Department of Education.
 
 
  Saint Margaret Mary School includes a full-day Kindergarten through 8th grade and half-day morning and afternoon Pre-K. Extended care is available before school starting at 6:30 A.M. and after school hours until 5:30 PM.  
 
 Opportunities For Excellence  
 
Our students learn through a well-rounded curriculum including daily religion classes, computer, art, music, physical education and foreign language (Spanish). Advanced Math and Language Arts classes are offered to the 7th and 8th grades.

At St. Margaret Mary School, the children receive an excellent academic training. Education research indicates that nationwide Catholic school students consistently outperform other schools on tests for math, reading and science. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills ranking of St. Margaret Mary School confirms this research.

  Foul Shot - a - Thon  
 
Shot a ThonATTENTION ALL PARENTS


The St. Margaret Mary Athletic Association will be sponsoring a foul shot a-thon. As some of you might already know, one of our athletes was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma during the season. Many of you have asked “How can we help”? Well here is your chance! The proceeds from this event will benefit the Four Diamonds Fund and a small portion will go directly to the family of our athlete. Our goal for this fundraiser is to have all children in grades K thru 8 participate and raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund.


Our goal is $1500


Please start asking for pledges as soon as you receive your materials. On Saturday, May 31st between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., we ask that you bring your child and ALL PLEDGES collected to New Love and Christ Church, 6003 Jonestown Road, Harrisburg to shoot their foul shots. In the essence of time we will only be accepting flat donations since this fundraiser will take place on May 31st. If you will not be able to participate the day of the event we still encourage you to collect money for the cause. Please send your pledges into to school in an envelope marked Foul Shot A-Thon.
