Spring Break
There is no school at STM from Friday, March 12th through Friday, March 19th. School resumes on Monday, March 22nd. I hope everyone enjoys a nice and healthy spring break. My family and I will be heading to Florida to spend the week on the beach. I have talked to the students about enjoying their spring break to get refreshed and ready to come back to finish the school year strong.
