School Supply Kit Sale - Don't Wait!! Open through June 30th!
Hot Dog Bash - June 4th!!
Used Uniform Drive - June 4th!
The Uniform Closet Committee invites you to bring all outgrown uniform pieces in good, clean condition to the Hot Dog Bash on Monday, June 4! Help us replenish our store ahead of our August Thrilling Thursday sale! We especially need skorts in all sizes.
Also, if you’ve altered a jumper to create a middle school skirt, please take a moment to put a size tag in it. We wind up with many unsized skirts in great condition, but they’re very hard to sell when we don’t know the size.
WANTED: USED CHILDREN'S BOOKS for STM LIBRARY USED BOOK SALE!
STM library is having its annual used book sale during the Hot Dog Bash. Cub Scout PACK 194 is helping Mrs. O'Rourke by collecting gently used books during car line pick up. If you are doing any spring cleaning and want to donate please bring your gently used children's books to the library during car line pick-up Tuesday, May 29 thru Friday, June 1.
Books can also be donated during the Hot Dog Bash book sale. All proceeds go directly to the STM Library. Thank you!
KEEP CLIPPING BOX TOPS!!!
And, please check your collection today – If any of your BoxTops have summer expiration dates, send those in via backpack mail by May 25 so that STM can get credit for those before they expire. Thank you for clipping!
