The goal of her program is to support students in their current academic endeavors as well as helping them to develop their own successful study habits. Please note - this is for STM Extended Care students only. Students must be enrolled and signed in to Extended Care to participate. * * * Why do we need to fundraise? Tuition and fees only cover a portion of the cost to educate our students. Through a variety of fundraising efforts - including Fun Run, Cioppino, Aloha Festival, etc. - we work together to raise essential funds for our community. Funds raised through these events and activities help support and offset annual operating expenses and help keep tuition as affordable as possible. In addition, parents fundraise to support STM outdoor education. Thank you to the families, alumni, friends and neighbors who generously support STM each year. Because of your efforts, we are proud to be not only growing but thriving as we celebrate our 71st year! * * * Thank you to all the families and community members that participated in the Latino and National Hispanic Heritage Month Celebrations.
