Festival of Trees Walkthrough
It’s almost hard to believe that Christmas is just one month away! It’s also hard to believe that we did not have our Holiday Bazaar this year - it’s the first time that the bazaar has not been held since it was started by St. Mary Martha Sodality over 50 years ago!! However, if you want to relive a bit of our bazaar virtually and get a head start on Christmas shopping or just get a treat for yourself, our Virtual Festival of Trees Silent Auction is now online and ready for bids! The Auction will run until December 11 at 2pm. The winners will be able to pick up their tree at the school from December 14 - 18. Because of the school’s Christmas break, the trees need to be picked up no later than noon on December 18.
We have five terrific trees available:

In order to place a bid, you will need to fill out a quick bidder registration form online & then activate your account through an email. Then you can log in & click on the tree you would like to bid on and it will let you know the amount of the current bid. You click on “Pre-Bid” and your bid will be registered. The system is pre-set with bidding increments, so it will automatically register your bid at the next increment.**Please note, that even though it says “Pre-Bid” that is the correct button to click - it’s a little quirk of the website in case there is a period of time for in person bidding after the online portion. We do not have that situation here; however, the website considers it a Pre-Bid period.** When you are registering, you can sign up to be notified via email or text when you are outbid. It’s as easy as that!
Winners will be notified on December 12.
Good luck & Happy Bidding!!

“We’ve visited a lot of schools, and I can’t explain the difference that we felt at your school. There was just a feeling of….warmth, friendliness, acceptance. You don’t often ‘feel’ the difference in a school, but we did today."- Quote from a visiting parent
“Thanks to my St. Mary’s education, it was an easy transition to an academically rigorous high school; Beyond the academics, however, St. Mary’s provided me with a loving community dedicated to serving others. I take the lessons I learned at St. Mary’s, and the friendships I made with me wherever I go.”-Merriam Lhrazi, St. Mary’s Class of 2015, 2019 Miss Hall’s graduate, Freshman at Boston University
