Dear Parents,
A community of faith can provide support when we are in need of help. They can envelop us in caring and love. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our Student Council has initiated a fundraiser to bring this issue to our attention. During this month, we ask you to remember to pray for all who have been affected by Breast Cancer, especially those in our school community. Together our prayers can be powerful. |

PENNY BUCKET CHALLENGE: Beginning today through October 30th, the STM Student Council challenges all students from Kindergarten to 8th Grade to bring lots of pennies to school to fill their classroom "Penny Bucket"! Each "Penny Bucket" will be weighed and charted weekly to see which class has gathered the most pennies! (We are also accepting any other loose change!) At the end of two weeks, the class that collects the most pennies will earn a class pizza party!
All of the pennies collected from now through October 30th will be donated to the San Francisco Breast Cancer Emergency Fund in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

| FUNDRAISING CATALOG: Thank you to everyone who purchased items from our annual fundraising catalog. Congratulations to the 49 students who sold 15 or more items. They will receive a free dress pass to be used TOMORROW, October 8th. These students will also be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card tomorrow. If you believe that your child should have received a free dress pass because of additional items sold online by family member or friends, please notify the office immediately so that we can prepare a pass for your child. Let us know the name of the person that made the online purchases in your child's name. We expect delivery of these items later this month. We will notify you in advance in order that you can pick up frozen items the day they are delivered. |

MORE ROADWORK: The City & County of San Francisco is starting construction in the next few days along Brotherhood Way from Thomas More Way to St. Charles Ave. The work involves constructing curb ramps and sidewalk to make the pedestrian pathways safer and more accessible. The entire project is estimated to take 2 months.
And finally, thank you to Viki Saba (mother of Maggie, 2nd, and Zayna, kinder) for providing the traffic patrol with new stop signs.
