This week we are beginning our donation drive for Ride the Rockies to benefit the Samaritan House. We are asking students to do extra chores, babysit, help neighbors with yard work, etc. in order to “earn” their money for donation. There will be a letter sent home today explaining the details. If you write a check for donation please make it out to STM Catholic. Thank you for your support of this endeavor!
