Nurse's Note 
 
Thanks to Mrs. Moringello, Mrs. Rozzi and Mrs. Pellegrino for helping check the Kindergartener's hearing and vision in room 18 and 19 on November 5th.  Any questionable results will be rechecked by nurse, and then letters sent home regarding the outcome to those who failed the tests in the next few weeks. Students who passed both vision and hearing will not receive a letter. Students in K-20 will be checked in small groups by the school nurse beginning today.  

Lion's Van will be here November 19th for a final time from 8-11 a.m. for students we did not screen in grades 5-8.  We have a volunteer to run the audiometer, but could use three to run the vision machines or be the class walkers.  This is a fun way to earn your volunteer hours!  Please call the clinic to sign up for this important screening. 


Thanks.

VIRTUS Class 

The next VIRTUS class hosted at STM will be on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 from 6:00pm to 10:00pm in the gym.

 

There are only a few spots remaining. 

 

Please follow the link to register for the class.  You must include your first and last name. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact Mimi Neubauer at mneubauer@stmschool.org.  

Box Top Wars!

To increase our participation in the Box Tops and Labels for Education programs, we are conducting a contest among the classes to see which class can contribute the most BT4E and L4E points labels (per student average per class).  The class that contributes the most label points/per student will win a popcorn or cupcake party*.

 

For example:  A class with 20 students that contributes 200 label points has a per student average of 10 label points; a class with 15 students that contributes 200 label points has a per student average of 13 label points.  The class with 15 students would win the competition for class with the most point labels per student average.

 

The contest includes the collection of both Box Tops for Education (BT4E)

and Labels for Education (L4E).

 

 

The contest runs now through November 27, 2012.

 

Attached is a contest flyer - it will be sent out via Wednesday Blast and the Room Parents.


Also attached are instructions on how the points are tallied and sheets that the students may prefer to use over bundling their labels in plastic bags.

 

Your class does not have to participate.  Of course, participation is greatly appreciated.  Especially since the proceeds benefit STM - the earnings fund the purchase of additional equipment and supplies. 

 

With previous years' earnings, the PTO bought the school playground items such as soccer and footballs, lemon twists balls, jump ropes, cones, etc.  Our wish list is long and our goals are high, so please help us in earning more for our school.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Cristina Farias-Gomez and Mickey Grammatica Fletcher.

 

We appreciate your attention to this matter and thank you in advance for your kindness with this activity.  More Information.

 

V/r,

Mickey and Cristina

Cold Weather Wear
It seems our winter has started abruptly.  Please make sure your student has a warm jacket or overcoat for recess and time spent outside.  Hat and gloves kept in their backpacks are also useful for those especially windy days.  We are not allowed by Diocesan rules to let the children go outside with a jacket, coat, or some type of garment to wear over their school uniform when the temperature dips in the 30s and below. Thanks for the help.
