We had standing room only during our Grandparents Day celebration last Friday. The Mass was beautiful, and the refreshments were delicious. Thank you to the Parents Association for coordinating the event, the many families who donated breakfast items, our students who helped out and @signgypsies_chicago_burbs for the colorful lawn sign! It certainly was a GRAND Event! 

Our STS school community is growing! Congratulations to the Karthik family on the birth of their beautiful daughter! Shout out to big brother, Krish! #stsbringingsmiles

Volunteers are what keep our Parents Association running. Without them, none of the wonderful things we do would be possible.
