Annual Fund Update
Our latest technological upgrade funded by Annual Fund proceeds is the acquisition of 27 Dell Latitude 3500 laptops, each equipped with Microsoft Office. These laptops will be used in classrooms to enhance student learning experiences in a variety of ways, including more effective utilization of classroom interactive boards. With this purchase of $20,703.33, we have now spent $74,942.36 of our Annual Fund current total of $
124,480
.
We are very grateful to all participants, and we appreciate those who are still finalizing their donation plans. Since our last newsletter, we received gifts from
Kamie and Corey Burns, Cherie and William Bailey, Sheryl and Daniel Richardson, Tessa and John Dempre, and
Annabella and Ben Rawls
. Thank you!
Please remember that the state tax credit for gifts of technology to schools will expire on December 31, 2019.

This will be a great time to meet people and learn about Home and School Opportunities for the 2020-21 school year!
Home & School Adoration Hour
Unfortunately, due to lack of interest, we have had to release our Home & School Adoration hour. The Adoration Chapel is open daily from 7am-9pm. Stop by anytime during open hours to spend some time with our Lord.
For Your Consideration
When we return from Christmas break you will have the opportunity to nominate a STM volunteer for the Mother Seton Award. Nominees for this outstanding volunteer award must be, per diocesan requirements, a Catholic non-employee parent, grandparent or guardian who has been involved with STM school for at least three years. Look for more information in Eagle News 2020.
