Family Football Night - October 8th at Cardinal Gibbons
StMM will have a tailgate spot in Gibbons' stadium lot from 5:00-7:00pm for Family Football Night (Friday, October 8th). The PSO will have Chick-fil-A nuggets trays to share. Please sign up if you can contribute other treats (last name A-M are asked to bring something sweet, and last names N-Z something salty). We also need drinks to share! You may drop off your items in a.m. or p.m. carpool on October 8th, or bring them to the game. Don't want the hassle? See the sign up for a Venmo option - the PSO will buy your items for you!
Kids of all ages will have fun with music, games and activities. Sign up here for free football tickets (game starts at 7:00pm)! October 8th is also Gibbons' Homecoming, so the atmosphere will be electric. The theme for Gibbons students is White Out, so wear white to support the Crusaders or StMM spirit wear! Contact Anne Burge with questions, anneburge143@gmail.com.

Trunk or Treat and Monsters Inc. - Friday, October 22nd
The PSO is hosting a Halloween bash on Friday, October 22nd trunk or treating in the school parking lot from 5:45-6:45pm, followed by Monsters Inc. on a giant screen on Cadran Field starting at 7:00pm. We'll also have a craft station for Pre-K students in the Activity Building (6:00-7:30pm). All children must be accompanied by parents; no drop offs.
Sign up here to reserve your spot as a "trunk." Be creative! We kindly ask that the trunks arrive between 5:00-5:30pm to set up so you don't drive through children. If you want to go all out with a big display, sign up for 2 spots! Bay 1 of the lot is reserved for Pre-K and K families - no scary trunks or costumes in this zone, please! Since we are a nut free school, see this list of safe Halloween treats - only items from this list may be passed out to trunk or treaters.
We need LOTS of parent volunteers to make this all-school event a success, especially since it will be dark at the end. Click here to learn more about the volunteering opportunities and to access the sign up. Contact Gina Callaway with questions (bobandginacallaway@gmail.com).
