Dear STM Families,

Today, in your child’s folder, you will be receiving a school supplies list for the 2018-2019 school year.  The PTO has organized an option for families to purchase your child’s school supplies from a company called Educational Products.  If you would like to order supplies through this company please follow the directions on the flyer.  If you would like to purchase your supplies individually you are welcome to do so.  The PTO wanted to make sure our families had options when it comes to school supplies shopping for the 2018-2019 school year.
