Senior Parents/Guardians: now is a great time to clean out your student's closet and donate any gently used STVM items your student no longer needs.  Items (uniforms/spirit wear/sports items) may be dropped off at the school office any time during school hours. So, you could bring them with you when you come for Senior Farewell Mass, or send them with your student when they come for graduation practice. If you have any questions, please email parentsclub@stvm.com. Thank you!
