Hello STM Broncos!

Wow – hard to believe it is October already!  Halloween is only a few weeks away and the students are very excited for the festivities!

As Fall is upon us, please make sure your children stay hydrated and get as much fresh air in and out of the house as possible.  Please make sure to support with nutritious food and proper amounts of sleep so we can all keep our community as healthy as possible.  

Thank you to everyone for taking time to meet for parent teacher conferences this week.  Parents and Guardians – you are the primary educators and we are so honored to be partnering with you on your child's educational journey.  If there are follow up questions or if a schedule change is needed, please reach out to your child's classroom teacher.

Special thanks to Reverend Richard Van De Water and Deacon Mr Abbie Nepomucenofor for the Feast of St. Francis.  It was so wonderful to have an opportunity for blessing and showing appreciation and love for all the animals. 

Reminders:

    Thursday        10/6/22 – Parent's Club Meeting at 7:00 p.m.

    Friday             10/7/22 – No school – Teacher's Educators' Conference

ATTENTION FOURTH GRADE FAMILIES

BREAKTHROUGH SAN FRANCISCO

WHAT IS BREAKTHROUGH?

Breakthrough is an amazing opportunity for students and families. Our goal is to support motivated students on the path to college by helping them develop the skills they need to be successful in an academically rigorous setting. Accepted students participate in our year-round, tuition-free, out of school-time programming until the end of middle school with ongoing workshops and support throughout high school. We provide middle school, high school, and college admissions support, and create an inclusive and collaborative community where students can thrive.

 

BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM 

This is an eight year commitment (grades 5-12) for students who know they want to go to college and are willing to take advantage of the great opportunities and resources Breakthrough has to offer, which include:

  • academically intensive, skills-based summer programming the summers before 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades,
  • comprehensive school-year programming with after-school tutoring and enrichment twice a week during the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade school years, 
  • middle and high school admissions support to enter high performing, best fit schools,
  • test prep, college exposure through college talks and visits, admissions counseling and personal enrichment workshops during the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades

Participating students must demonstrate academic motivation as well as meet our need criteria. For more information and a link to our application (coming soon), check out our website
