Red Day

This Friday is another Red Day! This time, it will be to rally our senior football players as they prepare for Homecoming on Saturday.

We encourage all students to wear as much red as possible.

Just a reminder about appropriate attire:

On Red Days, students can wear:
• RED STMC hoodies
• RED STMC athletic gear
• STMC fan gear as sold on ONETeam Sports online catalogue

If students prefer to be in dress code, that is also acceptable.

After School Academic Support

Want to excel in academics? Need extra help with school assignments? Doing well in your courses and wanting to help others succeed? If you are thinking “Yes” to any of these, then the After School Academic Support is the right place for you.

The After School Academic Support offers a wide range of support to students who need help in completing their homework assignments and preparing for any upcoming assessments. Our academically excelling Tutors help their peers that need some extra support to be confident and do well in their academics. Also, Peer Tutors get their Service Hours for the amount of hours that they have tutored. The program runs throughout the year every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 2:45 – 3:45 pm at the Learning Commons. You are free to attend any/all of the days depending on your own schedule.

If you are interested in Peer Tutoring or getting some academic support, then show up on our starting day Monday, September 16 from 2:45 – 3:45 pm at the Learning Commons for sign-up and ask any questions. For further information contact Mrs. Eugine.

STMC Bee Club

The STMC Bee Club is selling honey at the Homecoming Game on Sept 14. $10 a jar for fresh, natural honey extracted from our hives up on the roof of the school. All the funds raised are put back into the program to buy more supplies and to replace older equipment. If you do not have a chance to come to Saturday’s game, come upstairs to the Academic Counselling office during the school day and buy honey from Mr. Bouwman, Mr. Dawson, or Mr. Spanjers.
