| PLEY: Pley is a rent-play-return subscription service which enables kids, parents, and fans to test out Lego sets without committing to buying sometimes expensive collections. As a school fundraiser, STM is one of a handful of schools who are benefiting from the rent-play-return subscription service as the school will receive $10 for every subscription. Pley subscriptions are available at three levels: $15, $25, and $39 per month, depending on the size of Lego set desired. Pley offers free shipping both ways and doesn't charge for up to 15 lost pieces. If you sign up for a no-risk, free trial you can try one Lego set for free. Then you can choose from over hundreds of Lego sets and add them to your queue. After you're finished with the set, return them to get your next set in the queue -- like with Netflix. Each returned Lego set is sorted and weighed and the bricks are cleaned with a sanitizer that is both eco-friendly and child-safe, so the sets are ready for the next user. Pley has shipped more than 75,000 Lego sets from its San Jose warehouse; more than 15,000 families have purchased Pley subscriptions; and more than 15 million bricks have been washed and dried in Pley's eco-cleaning solution. If you have further questions, please direct them to Mrs. White at swhite@smsf.org.
Tomorrow, Thursday, Ms. Nina Russo, Assistant Superintendent makes her annual visit to our school. We look forward to showing her the wonderful work your children do each and every day.
A big thank you to our Parents' Club co-presidents, Jessica and Raquel and their helpers who prepared a wonderful lunch for teachers and staff on Monday. It is definitely nice to be appreciated.
Finally, last Saturday night, five STM 7th graders received cash awards ranging from $100-$150 at the Annual YMI Essay Banquet at St. Peter & Paul Church in San Francisco. Congratulations to Abbie Atkin, Sebastian Bernardo, Adam Kolokotrones, Dylan Limjoco and Isabella Triunfo.
Sincerely,
Marie Fitzpatrick
