Letter from Mrs. Stratton
Dear Saint Theresa Family,
 
A short while ago I realized that my first year at Saint Theresa was the same year that many of our graduating 8th graders entered the school as Pre-K 3 students. When I started as a part-time English teacher in 2005, I never imagined that I would be watching these same students graduate eleven years later, nor did I realize that I would enjoy eleven great years here as well.
 
But this June, as our 27 wonderful 8th graders graduate, I will also move on to a next chapter.  After much prayer and consideration, I believe that God has called me to a new opportunity at the Bridgeport Rescue Mission, and also to be more available for the work near and dear to my heart with the children of Njathaini, Kenya and the school there that you all have helped me support over the years.
 
Though I will not be at Saint T's on a daily basis, I will still be involved in several ways, including assisting with the NEASC accreditation process and starting up a new after school service club in the fall.  I am confident that we have qualified staff in place to take over many of my responsibilities, and we will be working hard to insure that the transition process is smooth.
 
Of course there are still quite a few days left in this school year, coupled with lots of exciting end-of-year events, and I am looking forward to each one of them.
 
Best,
Kerry Stratton
