Dear STM Family,
You won't want to miss being a part of this year's annual auction! On Saturday, April 29, 2017, St. Thomas More Catholic School will be hosting its annual spring auction event
The Great Gatsby Gala where we can all help to raise money for our excellent school.
St. Thomas More Catholic School has a rich tradition and we wish to honor its place within St. Paul's own historical traditions. So please join us on Saturday, April 29th as we cut loose and bring back the roaring 20's along Summit Avenue!
The funds raised help maintain and significantly enhance the learning experience for our students. Your generous donations allow us to update our school in order to meet the needs of 21st century learners, provide academic enrichment programs, and enhance vital classroom resources.
Please help us make this year's Auction a GRAND success. Here are some options for what you can do to help:
- Volunteer your time and join a committee
- Donate an item(s) to the Auction
- Recruit donations from businesses where you have a personal contact, or pass contacts along to Mr. Olsen
- Buy advertising space in the Auction catalog for your business (full page $200; half page $100; quarter page $50)
- Underwrite expenses (such as printing)
- Sponsor the event (email jolsen@morecommunity.org for various sponsorship levels available)
- Invite others and spread the word by mouth, social media, and morse code if necessary!
Tuition pays for the ordinary, philanthropy pays for the extraordinary!
Thank you for helping us be extraordinary through your time, consideration, and support of all of our children. We will see you at The Great Gatsby Gala in April! Please save the date and look forward to tickets going on sale soon. Tickets will be $50 until March 31, and $75 thereafter. Whole tables can be purchased as well.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (to the greater glory of God),
Mr. Olsen
P.S. - The Church Investment Oversight Committee is looking for a few good people. Interested in helping and have a background in investments? Please contact the church office to find out more.

Keep on clipping those Box Tops!
Earn Cash for STM with Box Tops. Buy, Clip, Send and Earn!
We NEED your Box Tops!!! Get busy clipping those Box Tops. February is the month to turn them into cash for our school. We have collected almost $300 so far this year for our school.
A few places to look for boxtops.....
1. Check your kitchen cupboards, the pantry, and even the refrigerator.
2. Do not forget your tissue boxes and office supplies.
3. Ask your family, friends, and even your neighbors!
Do you have a Smart Phone? Box Tops for Education has launched an App to help schools earn even more. Download the App, find offers, buy products and scan your receipts. And you can still clip the boxtop for cash for our school!
Do you want to send your kids on a scavenger hunt to find boxtops? Print a collection sheet and have fun finding those boxtops. Each one is worth 10 cents.
Collection boxes are located outside of the School Office and downstairs on the Preschool table
Thanks so much and keep clipping!!!
