St. Marys Grade School was honored to receive the TARC Children's Services
Service & Support Award in recognition for the work and incredible support that is given to our amazing student, Carter Brown. Since Carter started attending SMGS in 2021, he has been surrounded by a Bear Tribe of teachers, paras, staff, and students who have been there to help and teach Carter through gentle instruction and inclusion . This cooperation includes activities like eating, learning, and social activities with Carter's peers. A special recognition was given to Tammy Sue Stallbaumer, Connie Foster, Summer St. Louis, and Cassidi Green, Carters direct contacts at SMGS, for attending the feeding clinic to further educate our staff on the needs of our students who have special feeding requirements. Thank you, TARC, for recognizing the work and commitment that SMGS strives to practice every day for not only students like Carter, but all of our Bear Family.
