Extended Care
Please note that Extended Care registration for the upcoming year is open at the following link,
REGISTER
. I want to express my gratitude to Kelly Coreil for her service as Director of the Extended Care Program over the past two years. We appreciate Kelly's leadership of the program, and our plan is for her to continue offering KidCam holiday camps on our campus.
Moving forward, the Extended Care program at STM for PreK3 - 8th Grade will be managed by Mrs. Gretchen Thibodeaux. Gretchen has extensive experience with Extended Care at STM, and she will be heading into her 30th year of service at St. Thomas More. Gretchen will be assisted by Mrs. Patti Bozeman, who also has extensive experience working Extended Care at STM. I am excited that Gretchen and Patti will be leading our program, and I look forward to them serving our students and families.
Please note: If you want to add Extended Care to tuition draft with FACTS, then you will need to register by the end of next week. Thank you.

Dancing to the Eagle Beat
Dancing to the Eagle Beat
was a huge success!
First, I would like to apologize to everyone for the delay in this communication.
Second, I would like to express most sincere appreciation to Tootie Lee for her leadership, and to our dancers and to many, many members of our STM family for their wonderful service in this great community building and fundraising activity. Through the efforts of those women and men and the generosity of many others, we netted $39,809.59 for St. Thomas More School!
Thanks again to all who participated in any way to the success of
Dancing to the Eagle Beat.
You and your family will remain in my prayers.

STM Uniform Update
Since the unveiling of our new "One STM" logo, the plan has been for the 2019-2020 school year to serve as a transition year, with everyone moving to the new logo on all uniform items beginning with the 2020-2021 school year. We recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant financial impact on many of our families. In order to provide families with greater flexibility, we have decided to extend the transition to the 2020-2021 school year as well.
The former "bell tower" logo will be permitted during the upcoming 2020-2021 school year. We will move to the new "One STM" logo beginning with the 2021-2022 school year. We hope this will provide some financial relief for our families.
Our three uniform vendors, Inkas', School Time, and Young Fashions, are open and are holding sales this summer for STM families. Please see below for details.
