Letter from the Administration
Dear Saint Theresa School Families,
 
This Friday, June 10th, we will end the 2015-16 school year. School will be open on Monday, June 13th for teachers and specific students who need to make up work.
 
This coming Wednesday will be the last full day of school and the last day of the after school program for this school year. On both Thursday and Friday, dismissal for everyone will be at 12:30 pm. As always, I will send you a letter by early August with the official school calendar, as well as updates on personnel and other pertinent information.
 
Please note that the summer office hours will be Mondays - Fridays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
 
I wish you all a happy, fun, and safe summer.
 
Sincerely,
Salvatore Vittoria
School Calendar
Help grow our community, become a St. Theresa's Ambassador
Mission: To welcome and assist new friends and families during their transition to the St. Theresa School Community.

Serving our community is one of the most vibrant ways we show our faith here at St. Theresa's. We are a warm, welcoming and supportive group. Now you will have the opportunity to reach out to others who are new to our school community during their time of transition as a St. Theresa's Ambassador.  

Look for infomation after August 30th from the HSA for the Ambassadors meeting.  If you are excited about serving in this ministry of our school, please email Sue Turotsy and Adriana Nunes at hsa@stesonline.org. Thank you for giving back and growing our family!

2016 Eighth Grade Graduation
Saying goodbye is always hard, but it is easier when you know that your students have learned well and have grown into themselves, when you know that they are going to thrive in high school, and that many will come back to share their stories. So instead of saying goodbye, we will say, "Welcome alumni class of 2016."

The evening Mass and Graduation ceremony were very special for this very talented class with tears and smiles.  The most touching part of the evening was the speech given by Mrs. Kerry Stratton, who is also moving from St. Theresa's this year. She recognized the struggles overcome, and the successes earned, but most importantly she told the class of 2016, " EACH ONE OF YOU IS MORE THAN A CONQUEROR! And here is the key...what it all comes down to: You are more than conquerors because of Christ in your life; because you have chosen to have a relationship with Him." So stay close class of 2016 and come on home to see us soon!






Congratulations to our scholarship winners!

2016 Summer Music Study at St. Theresa!
This summer, Mr. Brownell will be offering music lessons at St. Theresa School.  Summer vacation is an excellent time for students to improve their musical skills and/or start a new instrument ahead of the 2016-2017 School Year.  Students in Grade 3-6 will have the option of studying the following instruments:
 
Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion
Other instruments may be available; inquire with Mr. Brownell directly if you have an interest.
 
In other schools across Connecticut that use Future Musicians, success has been noted in students who elected to start or augment their instruction over the summer.  Mr. Brownell will be giving 30 minute group lessons (due to Virtus rules, private lessons are not available on school grounds) on the following Thursdays in July and August:
 
July 7, 14, 28 and August 4, 11
 
Other dates may be available; contact Mr. Brownell if you need special accommodation.  The cost is $20 per lesson.  Parents are encouraged to sit-in on the lesson.  Please circle the dates above that can you can attend below. 
 
Please return this form and a check made payable to Daniel Brownell for the total amount of lessons you wish to take (for example if you circle two dates, you pay for two lessons) by Thursday June 9th.  The students signing up for the most total lessons will be given preference of time.  I will also be organizing students into like groups.  You may reach me at dbrownellband@gmail.com.  I will be in contact with all new parents to discuss instrument rentals and the required method book.
