St.Thomas More Catholic School

The Raptor Center stopped by to introduce our kiddos to some incredible feathered friends this morning! Through an up-close show-and-tell, we learned about each bird's unique qualities, habits, and how the Raptor Center takes great care of these amazing birds. How cool is it to say that a bald eagle was in the building today!?

A huge thank you to our friends at The Raptor Center for sharing your knowledge and helping make today one to remember! 🦉🦅

Last week our summer program took advantage of the beautiful weather with a picnic lunch outside! Every day at Saint Thomas More is an opportunity to build friendships, enjoy the great outdoors, and create lasting memories together. We hope you're soaking up all the joy this summer has to offer! 🧺🌳

For the second week of Theater Camp, our talented young performers stepped into the enchanted world of Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim! Known for his lightning-fast lyrics, beautiful complex harmonies, and timeless life lessons, Sondheim's musicals are no easy feat, but our campers embraced the challenge. We are so proud of them!! 🎭

We’re officially halfway through summer, and we hope it’s been a wonderful one! Whether you've been traveling, spending time with loved ones, or tackling projects around the house, we hope you've found time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the season.

What have you been up to this summer? We'd love to see! Share your favorite summer photos in the comments. 🌞✈️🌷

One of our Saint Thomas More students was invited to sing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” with Steven C and Friends. This celebration of music and fireworks was held at the Cathedral on the 4th of July.

The student and siblings were also lucky enough to meet with our Saint Paul Mayor, Kaohly Her.

Our Theater Camp kicked off the summer with an incredible performance featuring selections from Matilda Jr.! After just four half days together, these talented performers learned songs, choreography, and dialogue scenes before taking the stage for family and friends. We are so impressed by their confidence, creativity, and hard work!

We can't wait to see what they bring to the stage next! Break a leg, campers! 🎭

Our Summit Saints are back in the building!

Today's Summer Program highlight was a giant waterslide on the front lawn, and our kiddos had an absolute blast! The only complaint? The water was a little colder than expected! 🥶

Our Summer Program calendar is packed with fun adventures, special activities, games, and surprises all season long. Our Theater Camp has also started, so stay tuned for more summer fun ahead! The party never stops at STM! 🥳💙

At the end of May, we gathered to celebrate our Class of 2026 with a beautiful graduation Mass and ceremony! Fr. R.J.'s homily had the perfect message: these kids are so easy to celebrate. Looking around the church that evening, it was impossible not to be moved by the outpouring of love and support surrounding them. Their presence was a testament to the impact these young people have had on the lives of those around them. Our graduates are not only accomplished students, but also kind, thoughtful, and faith-filled individuals who have built meaningful relationships and touched countless lives throughout their time at STM.

To our graduates: we could not be more proud of you. While it is difficult to say goodbye, we are filled with excitement and hope as you take the next steps in your academic journeys. As you begin this new chapter, we pray that you carry with you the values of your Jesuit education: a commitment to faith, justice, compassion, service, and being a person for others. Know that you will always be part of the Saint Thomas More family, and we will always be cheering you on! May God continue to guide your path, bless your endeavors, and lead you closer to the person He needs you to be. Congrats Class of 2026! 💙🎓

The Paul Molitor Award is presented each spring in honor of Major League Baseball great, Paul Molitor. Paul attended our school when it was known as Saint Luke’s before continuing his baseball career at Cretin-Derham Hall and the University of Minnesota, eventually going on to have a distinguished Hall of Fame career in the MLB. ⚾

This award is given to one eighth-grade boy and one eighth-grade girl who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to athletics throughout the year. These students embody the true spirit of sportsmanship, show respect for the game and for others, and continue to be supportive teammates long after the final whistle blows.

Congratulations to our 2026 Paul Molitor Award recipients: Fintan and Lucy! We are proud to celebrate your dedication, character, and leadership both on and off the field! 🏆🎉

Today was our last day of school, and what a year it has been! 🎉☀️

Thank you to our amazing students, families, faculty, and staff for making this year so special. We are so proud of our STM community and are so grateful for the joy of sharing this journey together. We pray that everyone a safe, happy, and blessed summer break! Happy summer!! 💙
