Book fair chair volunteer please!
STM School has hosted a Scholastic Book Fair for the past few years, but we don't have one scheduled yet for this year. They have been very successful for the school and the kids really seem to enjoy them. If you love books and would like to bring the Scholastic Book Fair back to STM, consider volunteering to chair that event. Email Brad Hammill (brad.hammill@gmail.com) for more information.

Link your Harris Teeter VIC card to STM!
Please make sure your Harris Teeter VIC card is re-linked to STM! Our school code is 1821. VIC card school links are cleared on June 1 each year, so they need to be re-linked each year. You can link your card online or ask any cashier to do it for you. Thank you!

Have a blessed week!
