FEAST OF THE VISITATION

This Friday, May 31st at 7PM, is the Mass for the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary at South Tacoma Chapel. There will be a light reception to follow hosted by the PSJSTEM 3rd grade class.

WEEKEND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for helpers who can help out with woodworking on Saturday and Sunday for the next couple of weeks from 10AM - 3PM. One of our school family members is an accomplished craftsman and is leading an effort to refurbish our handrails as well as a variety of other wood projects inside our K-8 school building. Volunteers will be sandpapering and scraping, removing paint from stained surfaces and scuffing finish around doors so they can be recoated. Supplies will be provided but if you can bring your own masks, gloves, knee pads, or other types of things to help you with the work it might be helpful.  Please no kids or young student volunteers for the time being. Middle school students may help out. Volunteer hours can be applied to your 2023-24 hours, or next year’s hours. Please email Marc Nuno at nunom@psjstem.org or Kelli Bostwick at bostwickk@sjstem.org if you are able to help out. 

SNACK SALE

The 8th grade class is hosting a snack sale at both lunches on Wednesday, June 5th and will continue daily while supplies last. Prices will range from $.50 to $2.00. If sending in money with your little one, please be sure to put it in a ziplock or envelope labeled "snack sale", with the amount and your child's name. Thank you for your help with this.
