STM School Supply Drive, sponsored by Beta Club and American Heritage Girls
As we wind down our school year and clean out desks, lockers, and backpacks, we are asking for donations of any unwanted and gently used, or new school supplies to help provide school supplies for lower-income students for next year. Examples of acceptable donations include unused loose-leaf paper; pencil sharpeners; pencils, crayons, colored pencils, highlighters or pens with at least half of their life left; rulers; usable (not dried) markers; folders; erasers; compasses; protractors; calculators; art supplies; book covers in good shape; and pencil boxes/bags. Each class will have a donation box, which will be picked up on the last day of school, June 4. Please bring in donations and help others in our community.

Outdoor Lab
We are excited to announce that both the 6th & 7th graders will be able to attend the JPII Outdoor Lab program in the fall. The classes are scheduled to attend Outdoor Lab Wednesday, September 15th – Friday, September 17th. The JPII Outdoor Lab is a wonderful experience that allows our students to grow deeper in their faith, form deeper bonds with their classmates, and learn more about science. Please know that this program is optional, and will cost around $300 per student.

Cross Country in the Fall
Hey, STM families with 5th-8th graders NEXT YEAR – as of now, we are planning on hosting a cross country team for STM this fall. We take any level of runner for this program and would love for your kids to come outside and run with us. Practices will be two nights a week until 3:45 (dates TBD), but we wanted to let you know now that this sport should be BACK ON in the fall. Please email Mrs. Basile (abigailb@stmcatholic.org) and/or Ms. Weiland (kiraw@stmcatholic.org) with any questions. Let’s get running!

Message from Mrs. Hackman
At end of an unusual school year, I would like to acknowledge how hard “our” students, faculty, parents, office staff, kitchen staff and building engineers worked to make this year as normal as possible. With Covid, virtual learning, school cancellations, masks, plexiglass, I saw exceptionally creative work and projects that I had never, in all my years teaching/subbing, experienced a year such as this. I could not imagine being in those trenches!
As June 4th quickly approaches, I wish everyone an enjoyable, relaxing summer. Through this school year, I feel grateful being a part of the STM community. Thank all of you for making me feel welcome!
See you in September,
Peace,
Molly Hackman
