Thank you to the Tom "Papa Hops " Hopkins Foundation for their generosity and support in helping to bring Queen of Martyrs Football back to the Southwest Side. Our Wildcats love the new sled! On Wednesday night, Coach Rafalin and the QM football team shared a little gift of our appreciation for the Hopkins family and their support in honor of their father, Tom Hopkins QM Class of 1969. Thank you for all you do for so many on the southside, @papahops!

Our Preschool and Kindergarten classes had a great day at the Children's Farm in Palos yesterday. They loved learning about all the animals, going on a hayride, and picking a pumpkin to bring home to their families!

The School Advisory Board was established last year to act as a liaison between the school’s administration (our principal and pastor), our current school families, and the broader parish and local communities. This year we would like to add one more member to our 6 current members. Each is selected by the pastor and principal with input and/or nominations from the school community. If you would like to nominate a school parent or parishioner for the SAB, please send an email to Mr. Davidson with a letter of recommendation. The letter of recommendation should explain why your nominee would be a great board member who will help promote and advance the Catholic mission of Queen of Martyrs School. Please visit the School Advisory Board website for additional information. https://www.qmschool.com/page/school-advisory-board
