Watch "What It Means to be a St. Mark Lion" What It Means to be a St. Mark Lion Show Transcript It is my great pleasure to speak to you today about what it means to be a Saint Mark student. We come here to learn math and science art and religion but we also learn compassion, humility, honesty and justice. They teach us beyond the books; they teach to our heart and souls too. St. Mark is preparing us for academic success in high school, college and even in our future careers but just as importantly St. Mark is teaching us to grow into kind, respectful caring men and women of good character and good will. St. Mark is so much more than just a school. It's our Church Families. It's the excitement of Fall Fest. It's Sports Awards nights. Through sports we learn teamwork, cooperation, discipline, perseverance and so much more. It's the Christmas Concert. It's the Lion Olympics. It's our Halloween Parade that St. Mark didn't even cancel during Covid. It's our musicals and our Music Program. It's the Father Daughter Dances and the Mother Son events. It's the May Procession and the Candlelighting Mass. St Mark School is building lifelong memories we will cherish and carry with us for our entire lives, It's part of our heart. It's part of our soul. It's a big part of who we already are and it's a big part of who we will become as citizens of this world who understand the importance of community, of service, of teamwork and so much more.
