STM Newsletter for Wednesday, April 14, 2021

View this email in your browser April 14, 2021 Dear STM Families,  Now that we have returned from Easter vacation we are settling down to the last major stretch of the school year. The next 6 weeks will be full of activities including such major milestones in the lives of our children as First Reconciliation (indoors) and First Communion (outdoors) for 2nd and 3rd graders, Confirmation (indoors) for 7th and 8th graders and Graduation (outdoors) for the class of 2021. All events will be limited to immediate family (max. 4 adults) and siblings. Invitations will be sent for each event and all guests names and phone numbers will be required for contact tracing purposes. Expect further details from classroom teachers shortly.  Over 70% of students are now back for in-person learning much to the joy of their classmates and their teachers. We hope and pray that next school year will be uneventful and as normal as possible as we reach post-pandemic times. KINDERGARTEN COMMUNITY HELPERS Today in Kindergarten, we learned about community helpers and how important they all are! Here are our community helper hats. We have farmers, police officers, fire fighters, chefs, nurses, doctors, and detectives.
