We are deeply honored to share that a new mural has been created in memory of Mrs. Mary Mattivi, a cherished first-grade teacher who touched the hearts of so many students, families, and colleagues of the St. Marys Area School District.
The mural is located in the first-grade hallway - the very place where Mary spent 17 joyful years inspiring young learners.
This meaningful artwork not only honors Mary’s incredible legacy of love, learning, and laughter, but it will also brighten the hallway for generations of students to come.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the memorial fund, PTO for their support, our SSMSES 1st Grade team as well as the SMASD family, and to artist Ashley Denio, who brought this vision to life.
Mary’s spirit and joy will continue to shine through every smile, every rainbow, and every child who walks these halls.
