Weekly Update for September 14, 2015

Come to STM Spirit Night on Wednesday!

Join us for the first Spirit Night of the year at Moe's Southwest Grill in Durham's Patterson Place on Wednesday Sept 16 from 4-9pm.

Help Needed for Teacher Appreciation Luncheon!

Please volunteer to provide a yummy luncheon for our wonderful STM teachers during a very busy time for them: the fall parent-teacher conferences NEXT WEEK on September 23, 2015. Each year parents provide a soup/salad/appetizer luncheon so that the teachers can grab a quick homemade lunch between meeting with parents. Please send in:

• Items that are ready-to-go with no additional preparation required (e.g. salads dressed, bread cut up).

• Soups in crock pots.

• All non-food items ahead of time if possible (e.g. plates, napkins) by Friday September 18th and note on the item for Teacher Appreciation Committee Luncheon on 9/23/15 and to be placed in lower school teacher's lounge. If they can't be sent in by the 18th, please plan on delivering non-food items to the volunteers on the 23rd in the lower school teacher's lounge between 7:30 and 8:00 AM.

Consider volunteering for setup and/or cleanup:

• Setup volunteers arrive at 7:30 to help prepare the teachers’ lounge and receive donated items from other parents. This is about a 1 hour time commitment.

• Cleanup volunteers arrive around 2:30 pm to clean up the teachers’ lounge and pack up leftovers. This is also about a 1 hour time commitment.
