St. Thomas More is more than a school! It is a community of families who care for each other and for their children. The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) brings this community together in family-oriented events, as well as supporting the efforts of teachers and school staff to make St. Thomas More School an enriching environment for the students.
The success of the PTO depends on each family contributing their time and their skills to support our students and our school. It is this involvement that allows the school to provide an excellent education while keeping tuition rates down.
PTO Events include Newcomer Buddy Program, Back-to-School Dance, Grandparents' Day, Field Day, Used Uniform Sale, and so much more!
The STM Parent-Teacher Organization meets the 1st Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:15 p.m. If you are interested in attending, please feel free to contact Diana Le via email: [email protected]
Please consider being a part of PTO!

My husband Joseph and I have been married for 12 years and are parents to Hudson (4th Grade) and Sophia (1st Grade). We joined STM in 2020 and have really enjoyed being a part of the community. In the past, I have served as PTO Secretary, Room Parent, Parent Coffee Event Chair and PTO Vice-President. We're looking forward to a great school year and to serving the parish-school community as PTO President!

Hi! I am signing on as the newest Vice President of PTO! I’m wife to Jonny (14 years) and mom to Sophie (7th grade) and Teddy (5th grade). We’ve been at STM for 8 years, in which I have served as Room parent and secretary. I’m looking forward to an incredible year at STM and to supporting our parent/teacher community as we soar through the 23/24 school year

Howdy! My name is Hilary Barelas Sullivan (STM Alum, Class of '93). My husband John and I have two children at STM, Joshua (4th grade) and Gabriella (PK4), plus 3 grown and launched kids. When not serving as chauffeurs for baseball, Cub Scouts, or ballet, John is a carpenter and I'm a nurse. In past years, I've served as an At-Large representative and as a Room Parent. Looking forward to being y'all's PTO Secretary for 2023-2024.

My family and I are excited to be starting our third year at St. Thomas More. My daughter Mackenzie will be in the sixth grade while my son Ethan will be going into the third grade. Previously, I have been active in the Dad’s Club as well as room parent. Mackenzie’s 5th grade class Scout families will recognize my wife Emily, who is the Popcorn Kernel for Scout Pack 99. We look forward to meeting many new families this year.

Hi! I am serving as the PTO Treasurer for the 2023-2024 school year. Last year I was a Room Parent for Hayes' third grade classroom and I'm excited to embark on my first year as a Board Member. My husband, Shea and I moved our son Hayes to STM during the fall of 2020 (Covid) and have never looked back. Hayes will be in fourth grade this year and our younger son, Hudson, will be in second grade at Parker Elementary. I'm looking forward to a great year! Go Tigers!
