Human brain experts tell us we use different parts of our brain to do different things. Whether its moving your body through space, creating art, speaking a foreign language, doing math, reading or playing a musical instrument they all exercise and literally "stretch" our brains, by using different parts of it. They've also found that when children are exposed to all of these learning areas, they get much smarter in the areas we normally test them on. St. Mary's students do all these things every week of every school year from Pre-K to 8th grade. As a result, our students have some of the highest test scores in Nebraska and are among the brightest students in the nation.
