Parents and families -
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your support, kindness, and patience today during materials pick up. We are all so blessed to be part of the STM community. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any concerns or questions you might have. I will keep you posted with any changes and/or updates with school, specifically if we will be extending our closure. If you need an idea on how to begin your school day at home, I would recommend that you start with watching our live streamed Mass at 7:00AM daily. Beginning our day in putting our faith in God is always a good idea. Also, please try to see the silver lining in all of this - we are being forced to slow down and spend some quality time with our families...this is such a gift in disguise!
I am including a link to a fun article on the history of why we say "God bless you!" when we sneeze! This is great for building your "fun facts" knowledge! I'm also including some documents on talking to your children about COVID-19.
May God keep you and your families safe, healthy, and happy. Please continue to pray during this time.
Peace and blessings,
Mrs. DeWolfe
