| | | |  | | STM 6th grade students celebrating the 60th Anniversary | | Dear Parents:
Thank you for your presence and support at the 60th Anniversary last Sunday. A special thank you to the sixth graders and their teacher Ms. Bryan for putting together such a beautiful and reverent mass. It was wonderful to see so many current families and alumni at this event.
As we continue to prepare for Thanksgiving, please consider joining us on Tuesday, November 25th, for a Thanksgiving prayer service presented by first grade in the gym at 10:45am. | | | PEANUT BUTTER COLLECTION: As a reminder, we are collecting peanut butter for the St. Vincent de Paul society. If we reach our goal of 500 jars of peanut butter by Friday, December 12th, the student body will enjoy free dress on Friday, December 19th. Please send a jar (or two!), any kind, any size with your child by Friday, December 12th. | | | | SCRIP: Start your Christmas shopping now! Order your scrip by 6am on Friday November 14th and receive it next Wednesday, November 19th, the last day to receive gift cards before Thanksgiving break. | | | OUTDOOR EDUCATION PARENT MEETING: All 5th and 6th grade parents are required to attend the mandatory meeting tomorrow night, Thursday, November 13th at 6:30pm in the 6th grade classroom. | | | DECEMBER 7th: Please mark December 7th on your calendar as an exciting day here at STM. We will begin the day with the presentation of our First Communion and Confirmation candidates at our 10:00am Family Mass, followed by a Pancake Breakfast presented by the 7th and 8th grade dads, and a visit with Santa in Carroll Hall.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM: Please save Thursday night, December 11th, for our school's presentation of our Christmas Program. We will begin at 7:00pm in the Church and all students, preschool through 8th grade will have a part in this program.
8TH GRADE RECOMMENDATIONS: This is the time of the year when 8th graders are busily writing their high school essays and completing their applications. Because of changing demographics many families attend church in Parishes other than where their school is located. Please remember that students will need to have their clergy recommendations signed by the pastor in the parish where they attend Mass and other church services. This will ensure that recommendations are written by a pastor who knows your child and who is familiar with your family's involvement in your local church. Please note that all recommendation forms will go directly to Mrs. Girlich. She will then distribute them to the appropriate staff members. | | Sincerely,
Marie Fitzpatrick
Principal | | | | | | | |
