Happy Shopping With STS!

 

*2022 STS Raffle Calendars went home today with students…we would ask each family to sell at least the five calendars that were sent home.  Our goal is to sell 750 calendars before the end of January.  In order for this to happen, we would appreciate if every family could help us reach this goal by selling more than the five calendars.  Just email the school office to tcain@stthomasphilo.org with how many more calendars you would like the office to send home with your child.  Thank you so much for your support.  All of our fundraisers help keep our tuition rates affordable.

 

*Student Elves are invited to ride along on the STS float on Friday, December 10th in the Philo Christmas Parade.  Dress in your best elf attire and come sing-a-long for all to hear!  Meet at 6:30 p.m. at the RE Franks Center Downtown Philo (West Side of Building).  Contact Sara Lane with any questions at 217-821-5007.
