Letter from the Principal
|
Dear parents and friends of St. Theresa School,
I know that many of you have expressed concerns regarding the alleged "online clown threats" towards various schools that is currently in the news. I appreciate the concerned families who shared information regarding this with the school.
Coincidentally, I had a meeting yesterday with the Trumbull Chief of Police, Michael Lombardo. We discussed the "clown threat." He assures us that currently there is no credible threat at this time, but advises all schools to be vigilant. Here at St. Theresa's we will continue to monitor the situation, as well as, increasing our
surveillance
.
On a more positive note, our Fall Walk-A-Thon is almost here. Students may begin bringing in their pledges in an envelope with their name on it starting Wednesday. Pledges may also be brought to the Walk-A-Thon, which is October 16th at 1 pm. We are very proud of all the students working so hard to support our school.
Our next Home School Association Meeting is October 17th at 7:15 pm in the Art Room. We received great feed back about this new format. Parents are
encouraged
to take advantage of the new setting which allows for greater parent participation and feedback.
Please make sure you check your student's backpack this week for the first quarter Progress Reports for grades 1-8. They will be going home by Friday. It is important that parents and teachers work together to support our students in their learning and growth. There are several weeks until the end of the quarter on November 4th to improve any areas that need to be strengthened. We always look forward to celebrating our students' successes and growth.
Sincerely,
Salvatore Vittoria

Saint Theresa's Feast Day - the Blessing of the Backpacks
|
To celebrate Saint Theresa's Feast Day the school community gathered in the gym for a prayer service led by the seventh grade. Fr. Gannon then blessed backpack tags that were given to each student, staff member and parent at the service by eighth graders.
These tags state that we are blessed members of the St. Theresa School Community. They are a reminder of God's love and our mission here at St. Theresa's. The mission statement was included on the back of the tag, as well.
The Pre-K had their own celebration, with each student carrying up his or her lunch box to the gym. They were very good at answering Fr. Gannon's questions about God and prayer. After the blessing they ended the service by saying the Hail Mary and the Our Father. It was very impressive.

The Eighth Grade Investigates Physics
|
The 8th graders worked in groups throughout
the classroom to observe how force & motion interact. It turns out Fabio is quite good at analyzing which Jenga piece should be pulled out, possible future physicist!
Everyone had a good time while learning about balanced and unbalanced forces, and how dominoes and marbles can illustrate Newton's laws.
We look forward to more hands on labs.
