TK march for peace in support for Ukraine

Dear STM Community,

Thank you to our students for supporting the various fundraisers to support the millions of Ukrainians who have lost their homes and all their belongings during this terrible war. 

Free Dress Day raised $1,226.30. Funds will go to https://novaukraine.org 

The  Bake Sale raised  $824 for World Central Kitchen which provides food for humanitarian relief.

Our students prepared inspiring posters, marched to the PEACE statue on Brotherhood Way and along with students from Brandeis School, they prayed, read poems, sung songs and paid tribute to the suffering of the Ukrainian people. Students in TK-3 grade marched in the yard. 

Check out the brilliant photos from our 8th grade student photographer.

PARENT PARTICIPATION HOURS
Due date extended to May 16. 

During the 2022-2023 school year, all families are required to volunteer for a minimum of 15 hours for school activities. Hours usually need to be completed by mid-April. However, because of Covid restrictions we canceled our Fall Festival and will be replacing it with our Spring Festival on May 14th. This will be a great opportunity for all families to complete their parent hours.  Failure to complete all 15 parent participation hours as assigned will result in a $450 fee. It is your responsibility to seek out and sign up for volunteer hours.
 

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Photographers Needed


We are looking for a parent volunteer(s) that are either professional photographers, photography is a side hobby, or just love to take pictures and are great at it! Volunteer photographers will take individual photo(s) of children as they receive their Sacraments, group/class picture, and other photos as needed. Pictures will be shared with respective teachers. Volunteers will earn 4 parent hours for each event.
