Hello STM Broncos!

Thank you to everyone for all the support as the STM Fun Run '23 returns this Friday, September 22, 2023!  Thank you for encouraging health, wellness and fitness!  

At this time, it appears that Friday will be fine for the Fun Run.  However, if the air quality gets worse, we may need to reschedule the Fun Run - stay tuned.  For now, please plan on sending the students in their physical education uniform with their Fun Run t-shirt on Friday.

With all the smoke in the air, please be sure to stay hydrated and check the air quality index at www.AirNow.gov.  For more information, check out the STM - Archdiocese of San Francisco - Air Quality Framework – Link here.  

In a few short months, STM will celebrate our 70th anniversary year.  That will begin our 5 year journey to 75 years strong!  We are looking forward to a number of amazing and memorable celebrations along the way to 2029.  Don't miss the STM Family Bingo & Dinner - this Saturday, September 23, 2023. Fun for Everyone!

We have a wonderful community, but we always have to be aware of and be there for each other.  It is very important that mental health and wellness are always supported and brought to light.  September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.  We have several community members that will be leading the charge in bringing supportive programming to those in need.  Please see Suicide Prevention Awareness Month for helpful resources. Feel free to reach out to our counselor, Ms. Corry (jcorry@stmsf.org) for more information.  Parents – here is a link to resources from Common Sense Media.

Thank you to everyone for keeping our community safe by respecting the pick-up and drop-off zones.  Keep it Moving! Keep it Grooving! If you want to walk and talk, then please park up in front of the church.

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you soon!

God bless you all!
Peace, love, happiness and harmony.
