VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION
Veterans Day is Thursday, November 11th. This national holiday gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. military veterans. StMM is very proud to recognize the many veterans within our school family. With the continued restrictions of Covid, we are again unable to assemble for a school wide tribute. The veteran slideshow will still be shown to all grades, so please consider sending in a photo of your family member to be included in the tribute.
If you have a photo of a member of your family that presently serves in the armed forces or
is a veteran (living or deceased), please submit it to Magi Wilson at magimw4@gmail.com
in jpeg format no later than Monday, October 25th. Please also provide their name, rank
and the name of the StMM student to whom they are related.
TREATS FOR THE TROOPS
Beginning on Wednesday, November 3rd through Friday, November 5th, the Service elective students in 7th & 8th grades will be collecting any surplus Halloween candy from your child’s trick-or-treat adventures at morning drop off ONLY. We will collect any wrapped candy but please remember that this candy cannot be brought into the school building at any time. This candy will be donated to the USO of NC for their holiday celebrations with local service personnel and their families. Your son or daughter can also write a special letter or make a card to show their appreciation to our military men and women for their sacrifices and service to our country. The USO will kindly pass along your letters to very grateful troops. Parents, we encourage you to help your child with this project or even write your own letter of thanks.
Thank you so much for your support. If you have any questions regarding any of the above,

Trunk or Treat and Monsters Inc. - Friday, October 22nd
We need at least 40 more cars for trunk or treating, and even more to fill the lot for maximum fun! If you can help, sign up here. Your trunk can be elaborate or simple, but the more trunks the better. Sign up for 2 spots if your display will overflow your area. You may park next to a friend if you arrive together; arrange to turn into the school lot off Townside Drive one after the other. Or park next to another Monarch family and meet new friends! Only the nut-free snacks and candies from this list may be passed out to trunk or treaters. Revision from 10/12/21: Skittles are no longer a safe option and have been removed.
No sign ups are required for trunk or treaters. Gettin' Sauced in the City food truck will be there from 5:30-8:00pm. Feel free to grab dinner for the movie! Please sign up here if you can be a parent volunteer. Most slots are only 30 minutes! See full details for trunks, trunk or treaters, and volunteering descriptions here.
