Arts Fest, on Tuesday, April 23, is a highlight of the week. Join us for a fun-filled evening showcasing the arts at StM, featuring musical performances, art exhibits, and theatrical scenes. Enjoy dinner from food trucks while you take in creations by students who have worked all year in art, band, choir, dance, and theatre.

During Arts Fest, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. in the Saints Dining Hall, purchase a handmade bowl crafted by students, faculty, or staff through our Empty Bowls fundraiser. (There will be a special pre-sale for parents and families of students who created bowls from 3:00-4:00 p.m.) Proceeds will benefit Ecole St. Esprit, an Episcopal school in Haiti, which has a feeding program for their students and staff. The partnership with Ecole St. Esprit is a result of the freshman and junior classes’ service learning project about food insecurity. Learn more about that project here.
