Letter from the Principal
|
Dear Saint Theresa School families,
I ask you to attend the October 19th HSA meeting. There will be a special presentation on the 5 year Strategic Plan. This plan is the result of a year of hard work and will be the guide to our growth for the next five years.
Yesterday was a wonderful day for the St. Theresa community with the major relics of St. Maria Goretti available for veneration in our church. It was wonderful to see our students and families there praying and volunteering. I'd like to extend a special thank you to Fr. Gannon for organizing this event so beautifully, and for bringing this opportunity of grace to St. Theresa's.
To make up for the day off yesterday, there will be a half day of school on Tuesday, November 3rd. Please make this adjustment to your calendars.
Our Walk-a-thon is just a short distance away. We appreciate everyone who is working hard to support our school. Your work makes a difference; making this not just a place to go to school, but an extraordinary community of students and families supporting each other and the mission of our school.
Sincerely,
S. Vittoria

HAUNTED HOUSE 2015 - Help Needed
|
Dear parents:
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE NECESSARY-PLEASE
This year's haunted house is in need of LARGE stuffed characters, furniture, costumes, scenery or anything from Disney's "Frozen". Halloween masks and decorations would also be appreciated.
Please put your family name on the items so they may be returned to you. Please remember, these haunted houses are created with no budget, so without your help, there is an empty space. Please leave the items backstage at the school and
DON'T FORGET to put your name on them!
Also, volunteers will be needed to help run the haunted house the night of the Halloween Party: Friday, Oct. 23. Please consider this opportunity and get involved with your children's fun!
Many thanks for your support!
If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to email Lori Hackenson.
