Students in Grades 3-8 Invites to March in the Memorial Day Parade!
|
The parade starts at Marissa's Parking Lot which is where parents will be able to pull in drop off and pull out (I will have a St. Theresa parent in front of Dunkin Donuts to direct people to me until 9:00 sharp.)
We are in the White division. The White division is assembling along Whitney and Broadway (first left after Marissa's). Students should look for our St. Theresa Banner and any cheerleader who will be in full uniform with gold pom poms, very visible!!
Please dress in PROPER Gym uniform, St Theresa Gym shirt ONLY, proper shorts for grade or sweats and if shorts, white socks and clean sneakers. You may wear or bring any American Flag, Pinwheels, or hats appropriate for Memorial Day.
Bring a bottle of water which you will have to carry so I advise a disposable with name on it.
The parade kicks off PROMPTLY at 10 am. We march up Main St. Stop in front of Town Hall and we terminate in Stop and Shop's parking lot where I remain with all students until a parent picks them up in front of Old Town Restaurant.
Most important note: YOU ARE REPRESENTING ST THERESA SCHOOL, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE FUN BUT THERE WILL BE A NO TOLERANCE POLICY TO BAD BEHAVIOR AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE AGAIN. We are only allowed to wave and smile to the crowd, NO ANSWERING BACK TO ANYONE WATCHING
THE PARADE.
Thank you for representing our school!

Eighth Grade Explores Historic Boston
|
In Boston, I learned a lot of new information that I never knew before. One thing that I learned was that Paul Revere did not actually yell, "The British are coming!", seeing that the British were kind of working with America. Another fact I learned was how the Native Americans and the Pilgrims lived and what they had to deal with in the 1600s.
The most memorable moment on our trip was definitely the dinner cruise seeing that we all had specific times that each one of us bonded with each other. By Mia Graziano
In Boston I learned many things. I learned how corn was ground by a stone wheel in the olden days and how water was cycled through the buckets and wheel. I learned about how families lived, such as Paul Revere's family. Around sixteen children had to fit in one small house. When families back then had darker fabrics in their home, that means they were wealthy. I got to see a demonstration on how candles used to be made on the plantation. Also, I got to see the way the Wampanoag families lived and survived. I learned about how their crops irrigate themselves and how they had no set meal times, meaning they got to eat whenever they were hungry. I expected this trip to be more rushed. I enjoyed the second day because we got to relax and take our time at the plantation. Even though this trip did go by fast, I enjoyed being able to go to a few different places and really interacting with the exhibits there. The USS Constitution was very fun because it gave us some time to go off on our own while we bonded and learned at the same time. By Sophia Tuozzoli

Nature's Classroom Takes Students' Learning Outdoors
|
The 7th Grade Class traveled to Nature's Classroom from May 9-13. At Nature's Classroom, they learned about respect, cooperation, and how to work as a team. On morning field group activities, the students would go on a hike through the woods and learn about wild animals, build shelter, and maybe even eat certain wild plants. They also may do some fun activities, such as playing games, for example Camouflage, or go test their limits in the Forest of Challenges (challenges,
challenges,
challenges
). In the afternoon, students would have the opportunity to sign up for special classes. Some of the classes offered were fire building, building water rockets, building a rope bridge, plenty of
dissections, and many more to choose from. In between each activity, the students would have time to refill their water bottles and socialize with the new friends they have made, as well as their classmates. All of the St. Theresa students had a blast during their week at Nature's Classroom! They hope that all future 7th Graders will look forward to this wonderful experienc
e.
Mrs. Ronnow would like to thank the chaperons ( Rich Benevides and Joe DiGirolamo) who helped make this week such a success, as well as all the parents for providing your children this exciting opportunity to learn about themselves and nature. Thank you to Jillian Nunez for this wonderful write-up!

Fifth Grade Steps Back in Time
|
Our fifth graders spend an enlightening day at t
he Derby Historical Society. What was different about this day? Well the year was 1762. Students learned how the time was spent such as how to weave, spin, and prepare lunch on an open hearth by trying these activities. The students learned what life was like in the eighteenth century. We should ask them which time period they would rather live in.
