| October 12, 2022 Hello STM Broncos! Welcome back! We hope you all had a restful four-day weekend! Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our community as safe and healthy as possible. Congratulations to 7th grade student Raiden and his mother Maria who represented our St. Thomas More community at a very special event last week at the Oakland Zoo. Special thanks to Jane Goodall's Institute Roots and Shoots for making it all possible. Their motto - Be bold, be kind, do good - is very applicable to the values we hold near and dear to our hearts at STM. Check out the report here: News Report Link. We will be starting our very own Kindness Club at STM that allows students to create service projects to help with a variety of causes. We are returning to Outdoor Education! Our 5th, 6th and 7th grades will be participating this year! Our entire school community is rallying to help make this happen. There will be a variety of fundraising opportunities to help. Get an early start on holiday shopping by supporting the Outdoor Education Fundraiser. 40% of all the sales goes back to the school! Special thanks to Lally Tan for helping to organize and bring Outdoor Ed back to STM! Halloween is only a few weeks away and we are all very excited. Please make sure to be aware of the following: Types of Costumes: Thank you in advance for ensuring that your child's costume is culturally sensitive. Thank you as well for not sending them to school with any props (guns, knives, etc.) and for keeping costumes age-level appropriate for all our learners (we have four-year old students on campus). We want to encourage a safe and fun environment. Consult with your classroom teacher to make sure your child's costume is appropriate. Halloween Costume Reminders: - Age appropriate - Bathroom accessible - Make-up must be applied at home - Shoes must be comfortable for walking/dancing - No weapons of any kind
- No excessive blood - droplets can be permitted Thank you for all your support! We are all truly blessed to be part of such an amazing community! Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you soon! God bless you all! Peace, love, happiness and harmony. David Greenbaum (Mr. G.), Principal |
