View this email in your browser
Dear Parents,
 
Our second graders will receive their First Holy Communion this Saturday, April 21 at 10:00am in the church. Eucharist is a celebration of what Jesus did at the Last Supper. The word Eucharist means "to give thanks". When we celebrate this sacrament, we thank God for His many gifts and blessings. All are welcome to join us.

Our seventh graders will receive their Confirmation on April 27 at 5:00pm in the church. Please keep both classes in your prayers as they prepare for their special days.
DIAPER AND WIPES DRIVE
We need your help! Low-income and homeless families are in need of diapers (size 4, 5 or 6) and unopened containers of baby wipes. The donations will be delivered to The Children's Fund of San Mateo County. Please drop off your diaper and wipes donations to the school office by Friday, April 20.
 

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
MORE THAN BRICKS

Thank you to those who have already responded to the campaign. As we said last week, there is no specific, required contribution however, the level of response from all school families to the Campaign will ensure the safety of our children as we move forward with the seismic retrofit and other improvement projects. We ask that all responses are received by next Friday, April 27, 2018.
SPRING SHOW - THURSDAY, APRIL 26
Next Thursday, April 26th, we will present our Spring Show under the direction of Michelle McDaniel, our music teacher. This year, all students in kindergarten through 8th grade will perform show tunes from Broadway musicals on the stage of The Shah Performing Arts Center. The Preschool students will perform a special dance to "Thriller"! Students should all wear dressy clothes to school that day. We look forward to seeing you at this fun production which kicks off at 11:00am. Parking will be available in the schoolyard beginning at 10:30am and the gym doors will also open at this time.
 
8TH GRADE MOVIE SCREENING
Please join 8th grade for the world premiere of the short films they have been working on over the past few weeks. We will screen the movies in the gym on Thursday April 26th immediately following the Spring Show. The 8th graders would love you to come and enjoy the results of their hard work and creativity.
YMI ESSAY WINNERS
We are happy to announce that there were eight winning STM students (five in 7th and three in 8th) and two STM alumni (one each in high school and college). STM had four of the top six finishers including 1st place finisher Amaelia Bringas who won $1,000 as the junior high division winner. In all, the eight STM students (including our alumni) won $3,700. Congratulations to all the STM award winners and their teacher Mr. Kavanagh. 
PARENT TUITION AGREEMENT
PARENT PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
Please remember to complete both sides of your Parent Tuition Agreement and the Parent Participation Requirements for the 2018-2019 school year and return them to us as soon as possible. Your child will not be able to attend in the fall without this on record.
EVACUATION DRILL
Our first off campus evacuation drill went very smoothly yesterday. All students and faculty were able to process down to our evacuation safe area in a timely and orderly manner.
Sincerely,
