Parent Tributes
Peter & Seretha Anderson It has truly been a pleasure to have our children attend St Mary’s Episcopal Day School. Our daughter Allie enjoyed 10 years of the St Mary’s experience, entering as a shy Pre-K student and leaving as a confident, polite and engaging 8th grader ready to meet the challenges of High School. When we asked Allie about the highlights of St. Mary’s it was hard for her to narrow it down, but here are a few she included: The 8th grade Washington D.C. trip, 7th grade trip to the keys, the wide selection of sports from 6th grade up, the letter people in Pre-K, the surprise field trips in 8th grade. We particularly appreciate the quality of the teachers and their commitment to education - the hands on approach to learning as well as opportunities such as participating in the production of the daily Morning Show, Mr. Laird’s Speech class, and the emphasis on public speaking which starts in Pre-K as classes perform in the school assemblies twice a month. Our son Jack is in 3rd grade and has learned quickly that this year is about being accountable for their class/home work. We are impressed with Jack’s progress this year. Ms. Roverts sets the bar high in her classroom but with her years of experience is able to do this in a caring and reassuring manner. We feel the school has done a great job in fostering discipline without suppressing enthusiasm and he is truly blossoming academically as well as emotionally. My wife and I have had so many wonderful experiences throughout our time at St Mary’s – we couldn’t be more pleased with the investment we have made over these last 11 years. In closing, my wife and I feel St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School offers an exceptional, well rounded program. We have enjoyed the 11 years at St. Mary’s School and look forward to another 5 years with our son. We have a lot of wonderful memories and we are eternally grateful to the St. Mary’s team. Thank you! St. Mary's Episcopal Day School 2101 South Hubert Avenue Tampa, Florida 33629 (813) 258-5508 Fax: (813) 258-5603 |
