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!

NO School!

It's that time again...Spirit Night for STM!  
Our first Spirit Night will be Wednesday, September 21 at City Barbecue in Durham. 25% of all purchases for the day will go to Saint Thomas More School. Simply show a flier (either printed or on your phone) and order some delicious barbecue.  You'll be raising money for our school and taking a break from the kitchen. It's a win-win!!  (See attachment for the flier).
