Dear STM Families,
May is already upon us! We have a busy month ahead of us as we wrap up the school year. Please make sure and check your Principals Memos for schedules and details.
We start the month off with the May Crowning. At our school Mass on this Friday, we will Crown our Mother Mary as we honor her throughout the month of May. All students are invited to bring flowers to place on the Altar in honor of our Blessed Mother.
Thank you for all who joined us last week for our Gallery Night Art Show and our Fine Arts Performances. It was a lovely evening and so nice to see our students so confidently showcase their talents. A special thank you to Ms. Macfarlane who coordinated the evening. For those who were not able to make the event, and would like to purchase your child's piece of art, you have one last opportunity. Please send a check with your child to their homeroom teacher
tomorrow, Wednesday 5/2, and we will have the framed print delivered back to the school. Details
attached.
Please note, we will not be able to accommodate any orders received after end of day on Wednesday.
Please note that due to a conflict, the
All Sports Banquet has been moved to Thursday May 10th from 6:00-8:00pm in Servant Hall. Information will be sent home with all athletes tomorrow. Please make sure and look for this flyer as tickets must be purchased in advance and RSVP's will be necessary.
One of the many talented members of our school community is Chef Francesco Casetta. He has generously teamed up with the school to sell his delicious fresh pasta and sauces to benefit the school. Please see the
attached to learn more about Chef Casetta and information on how to
order this delicious pasta.
Next week is Teacher's Appreciation Week. Please join me in acknowledging and thanking our wonderful teachers for their hard work. The PTO/PAWS groups are planning a wonderful week. Please see below for opportunities to get involved.
Just in time for graduation gift buying season,
SCRIPS are back. Order deadline is
this Friday, May 4th, so please act quickly!
