Letter from the Principal
Dear St. Theresa School families,
 
Last week we held a meeting to discuss the Annual Saint Theresa School Basketball Tournament  and I am happy to report that we had a good turnout for this meeting.  As a result, we will be able to host this tournament in January once again.  Mrs. Mary Ellen Lieby will be the chair of this event.  We have our next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, November 17th and we welcome additional members to join us and help with this important fundraiser.
 
I wish to thank Mr. Chris Lieby and everyone who worked on the five year strategic plan.  It has now been adopted by the school board as an official document and will be used as part of our upcoming accreditation.  I wish to also thank the parents who volunteered to help work with us on the NEASC standards.

Sincerely,
S. Vittoria

Other items of note from the HSA:
If you've been in the school recently you may have noticed our vending machine is gone.  For those of you who depend on it for a quick snack or drink after the kitchen is closed, no fear.  We have a new Healthy Vending machine being delivered next week.  This new H.U.M.A.N vending machine will offer healthier options in both beverage and snacks to keep our athletes and after school participants happy.
 
Also in December we will be having a Christmas Store for the kids to purchase small gift items for family and friends.  Kids Kastle will be supplying us with the items and the HSA will keep a portion of the proceeds to help support the other events we offer to the children and families.

Our Inspired Artists
The students in grades 4, 5 and 6 were inspired by Van Gogh's "Sunflowers." After learning about Vincent's life and work, the students proceeded to create their own interpretations of his iconic painting. Their colorful artwork is a joyous display enlivening the halls of the school.

The Basketball Blast
JJV GIRLS
The St. Theresa Girls JJV Basketball placed 4th in the St. Jude Tournament that took place over the past two weekends.  Taking the court for the second time ever in their lives, the St. Theresa School Tigers are learning the fundamentals of the game and a love for basketball. But most importantly, they are playing as a team and having great fun. They lost to St. Catherine's 21-2 but were good sports congratulating their opponents.
