Middle School Dance Rescheduled!
Wasn’t that a fun snow day? Despite its awesomeness, the middle school students missed out on their dance that was scheduled for the night of February 7. Fear not! The dance has been rescheduled to Friday, May 1, 2020 (the late date was to accommodate Lent, Spring Break, and activities in the gym). We will remind you as the date draws nearer, but for now – mark your calendars for the Middle School Dance, Friday, May 1, 2020, from 6:00 PM - 8:00 pm in the STM gym.
Great Lengths
Attention all STM women! STM will be hosting its fourth annual Great Lengths program. We call upon the female members of our school community to make a major sacrifice and donate 8 or more inches of their hair. If your daughter is interested, here is what she needs to do:
1. Fill out the attached permission slip and return to Miss Weiland or Mrs. Basile
2. Give up “cutting her hair” for Lent (we will get a “before” picture of the girls who have committed to donating their hair)
3. Make an appointment at her salon for the week of Holy Week (any day) and donate 8 or more inches of her hair (we will get an “after” picture on Holy Thursday if possible)
4. Bring the hair to school to be blessed at mass (mass date TBD)
There is more information in the attached permission slip, but this simple act can make a huge difference in the life of a child with hair loss. Please consider donating. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Basile or Miss Weiland.
