CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE AND COMMONS BUILDING OPENS

“We know that human thriving is built over a lifetime of healthy habits of mind and body, positive purposeful engagement and community, and the quality of our relationships. Research informs us that social, emotional and physical health are key factors impacting learning and development in children. It is essential for us to create programs and environments that are geared toward healthy living and positive social engagement for our students.

“All of these things are intentionally nurtured and practiced here at St. Margaret’s, and will be further explored and enhanced by the St. Margaret’s Commons.”
