Mother Son Event This Saturday!
Come one, come all to the Mother Son Event this Saturday, November 13th from 1:30-3:30pm in the back lot. The PSO will have carnival games, a prize booth, treats and fun for PreK-5th gr boys and moms or special ladies. Tickets are available online until 7:30am on Friday, November 12th or at the event for $20 cash (exact change only, please).
Park in the main lot in front of the School or Activity Buildings and walk to the back lot using the sidewalk between the Church and Activity Building. Remember to bring masks in case you need to use the restrooms indoors. Thanks to our fabulous parent and Middle School helpers, almost all volunteer slots are full! But if you know how to make balloon shapes or animals, we would love your help! Please sign up here or reach out to Joanne Krieger (jwroblewski87@gmail.com) or Khristine Dunne (khriscris@gmail.com). Please help us by leaving the back lot clear on Saturday if you have basketball in the morning.

Monarch Mondays Updates
It was great to see so many staff and students in their cool new Monarch Mondays shirts this week. Thanks to our parents for outfitting the staff! Check out our Instagram Story (@stmmnc) from Monday to see the Monarch Mondays shirts in action. We know some families are still waiting for their orders to arrive. Ink'd Threads is working on it. Click here to order if you still need shirts or hoodies. We'll keep you updated as we work with the school and parish administrator on arts & specials improvements! Contact Molly Pryzwansky with any Monarch Mondays questions (mollypryz@hotmail.com), or see the FAQ page here.

Please help the PSO make Monarch Mondays a success by following these school rules and tips:
- Monarch Mondays hoodies may only be worn on Mondays. They are not approved to wear on other days of the week with the uniform.
-
Please follow the school's rules for approved bottoms. The Handbook was updated this year, so you might need to review what is considered approved; click here for a refresher (pg. 28 of pdf).
- Must have this year's shirt or hoodie to participate. Students may not wear last year's gray shirts or hoodies on Mondays; they should wear their uniform instead.
- If you are still waiting for your order to arrive, please continue to wear your uniform on Mondays until you get your new gear.
- Select USPS or UPS ship to home; Ink'd Threads is located in Greenville, NC so in-shop pick up is not available for our school.
- All Monarch Mondays shirts and hoodies are labelled "Monarch Monday" on Ink'd Threads' site. The other shirts are spirit wear and may only be worn on Spirit Days, with the exception of those hoodies labeled "Uniform Approved."

Veterans Day Celebration and Reminders
Wear red, white and blue on Thursday, November 11th to show your support for our troops and veterans on Veterans Day. The PSO sincerely thanks Magi Wilson for her years of service to our school community, particularly as she marks her final Veterans Day program at StMM since her youngest son is in 8th grade. We thank Magi for always reminding our Monarchs about the importance of our troops and their service to our country, and we thank the Wilson family for their military service as well.
