Letter from the Administration
Dear Saint Theresa School families,
 
Spring weather has finally arrived! And with our April break behind us, it will seem as if the school year shifts into over-drive. There are lots of events on the calendar for Saint Theresa. Here are a few that are coming up fast:
 
1.        Our annual Saint Theresa Sports Banquet will be held on Wednesday, April 27th at 6:30 pm. Tickets are on sale now until April 25th and must be purchased in advance. The cost is $20.00 per person with players and coaches admitted free of charge. You won't want to miss this celebration of our athletes' hard work and team spirit.
 

2.      On Friday the results of the Terra Nova Testing will be sent home with students in grades 3-7.  Please sign the envelope and return it on Monday to the homeroom teachers.

 

3.       The Spring Band Concert is scheduled for Monday, May 16th at 6:30 pm.  Although the concert this year will feature the band students only, all classmates and parents are welcome to attend. It promises to be a wonderful event.

 

4.      The Annual Saint Theresa Awards Night will take place on Monday, May 23rd  at 6:30 pm.  We have wanted to be receptive and responsive to parent feedback over the years; thus our awards night will follow a slightly different format this year.  Within the middle school especially, not every student will receive an award and some of the program will be trimmed down. As we get closer to May 23rd, more details will follow on this important event.

 

5.      Our next Home School Association meeting is scheduled for this coming Monday, April 25th.  We wish to extend a special invitation to next year's middle school parents as we would like to explore some program changes for the 2016-2017 school year.  The HSA officer elections will also be held during this meeting.

 
Finally, we apologize for any confusion regarding the official "switch to spring/summer uniforms".  Monday, April 25th will mark the first day that students may opt to wear their spring uniforms. Students may continue to wear winter uniforms if they so choose.  The weather will surely get better and better!
 
Best,  
Kerry Stratton
Scholarship Awards
 Families who received an award from the Bishop's Scholarship will have their 2016-2017 tuition adjusted to reflect the award.

Families who received a letter of award from the CEO Foundation of CT should bring the letter to the office to be signed and copied for the bookkeeper. Tuition will be adjusted once the school receives the confirmation letter from CEO.

Please note that scholarships for financial aid will be honored only after all current tuition is paid in full.

Students Recognized for Going Above and Beyond
The 8th grade just finished completing their saint reports for Mr. A's Religion class. Earlier last month, students chose to research a saint based on their confirmation name. Each student was required to complete a five to six page (minimum) MLA formatted report on that particular saint. The majority of the assignment was completed at home. The students gathered their information through both books and online resources. They each used at least four reliable sources and integrated them throughout their report. They also connected the report to the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and their personal life. The entire 8th grade did a fantastic job with their piece, and will certainly apply these research and writing skills in their future.
Science in Action
The sixth grade went to the Maritime Aquarium to study sea life first hand.  Students were able to touch and see the creatures and learn from the volunteers about their importance in our ecosystems.



Welcome to the Fourth Grade Staff Interviews!
What could be better than a game of Red Light, Green Light?
How about playing in your very own car!
What a great surprise to happen upon our future drivers in training! Students in Pre-K 4 created their cars and then took to the road to learn the importance of following traffic signals. If they had a few laughs along the way all the better! They are an inspiration to drivers everywhere.
Walking Club Resumes Next Wednesday!
Intentions for the Grotto in Lourdes
The Order of Malta is going on their annual pilgrimage to Lourdes, France where Mary appeared to St. Bernadette.

If you would like your petitions to be placed in the Grotto, please give them in a sealed envelope to Liz Tamarkin by the end of the day on Monday. Please make sure the envelope says Lourdes Intentions. Thank you!  A candle will be lit for all of the intentions of our school.
