STM Newsletter for April 26, 2017

View this email in your browser Dear Parents: Catholic Schools in collaboration with parents and guardians as the primary educators, seek to educate the whole child by providing an excellent education rooted in Gospel values. To that end ask that you take the Catholic Identity Program Effectiveness Parent Survey. Please complete the survey by Wednesday, May 10. It is important that we receive more responses in order to help us grow in our Catholic Faith. Your input is valuable. SANDWICHES-FOR-THE-NEEDY Our next sandwiches-for-the-needy collection is this Friday, April 28 with the 4th and 5th graders taking the lead. We encourage all of you to consider making an extra sandwich and/or lunch and sending it to the office on that day. Calendar Items 8TH GRADE FESTIVAL OF PLAYS Please join us for 'Festival of Plays', a unique showcase of 11 original plays, written, directed, produced and performed by the 8th grade class.

EXTENDED CARE - HELP WANTED We have an opening for a part-time staff position at St. Thomas More School's Extended Care. The shifts usually are great for college students who have their afternoons free. Ideally, we prefer college-aged STM alumni, but that is not a requirement. If you know anyone interested, please let Mr. Kavanagh know and give them his contact info: jkav@stmsf.org. FAMILY LIFE At this time of the year, teachers of all classes will begin working on the Family Life portion of the Religious Education curriculum. All grades will be using the Benziger Family Life series. We strongly encourage you to use this time to talk with your child about your family's individual views and expectations. Please contact your child's teacher directly if you have any questions about this program. And now we have some farewells to announce. After being a part of our Preschool staff for the past 3 years, Nicole Porter is relocating to Santa Rosa as she pursues new challenges in her career and takes advantage of new opportunities. Also leaving us and returning to her BVM community in Dubuque, Iowa is Sr. Ann Cronin. Sr. Ann has been a dedicated teacher and Principal in the San Francisco Archdiocese since 1982. We have been lucky to have had Sr. Ann as a leader in our Extended Care Program for the past 5 years. We wish both of them the best in their future endeavors and will miss them both tremendously.
