Living In Faith, Growing in Knowledge

Letter from the Superintendent
Letter from the Principal
Dear parents and friends of St. Theresa School,

First, I would like to say thanks to all the students and parents who attended the Mass this past Sunday here at St. Theresa Church. The Student Council did an amazing job with the Liturgy.
 
The Basketball Tournament just ended this past weekend. A special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Lieby for all their time and dedication for keeping this tradition and important fundraiser going strong. We are also very grateful to the many individuals who volunteered so much of their time throughout the month of January.
 
This Friday, February 3rd, we close Catholic Schools Week with a school liturgy, followed by "Coffee with the Principal" from 10:15 to 11:30 am. Please join the bookkeeper, Mrs. Ann Dunn, and myself as we discuss the 2017-18 registration process. This includes how to apply for the Bishop's Scholarship, eligibility for the CEO Foundation of CT scholarship and application process, and financial aid. We will ask some of our bi-lingual parents to be there to assist with translating this information into Spanish and Portuguese.
 
The next Home School association meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 13th at 7:00 pm. Please consider joining us for a discussion on the 2017-18 tuition and details on the exciting Tiger Tail 5K Race/Walk scheduled for May 6th.
 
Thank you for your support of St. Theresa School. 

Sincerely,
S. Vittoria

Catholic Schools' Week Opening Mass and Reception
Catholic Schools' Week is celebrated across the country. It is the time to stop and acknowledge that we are blessed to be able to learn and work at our school where we learn about God, live our faith, and grow in knowledge.  

St. Theresa School began the week with our opening Mass and reception.  Thank you to the many families that made attending so special!

The Student Council led the liturgy. It was so impressive that the readers looked up at those attending the mass the entire time. They had made to the effort to memorize the reading s for the Mass. Our thanks to Mr. A for working with them during recesses. At the end of the mass one of our 7th graders shared a beautiful essay on what it means to go to school at St. Theresa's and be a part of this school community. She did a fabulous job articulating her experiences. Everyone enjoyed the reception with wonderful food provided by Mrs. Connelly.






Heritage Day Celebrates Our Diversity
On Tuesday we celebrated Heritage Day. Students we invited to wear clothing that represents their culture.  It was wonderful to see the special dresses, country jerseys, and creative ways students expressed their heritage. Unfortunately the early dismissal shorted the day. Mr. Agostino has a special presentation on immigration for the 8th grade, who is studying the subject in Social Studies.




Magic Show Makes the Value of Reading Magically Appear
The Pre-K through second grade was treated to a magic show on Tuesday.  The students were amazed by the tricks.  They loved seeing their classmates get to help as the magician's assistants. But the big message of the day was that READING is the real magic that helps us use our imagination and get smarter. Our thanks to our special guest!





Remember to use your imagination and pick up a great book today!
Teacher Appreciation Day
On behalf of the St. Theresa Home and School Association we would like to take a moment to Thank each and every one of our teachers and staff for all the love and dedication to our students.  Happy Teacher Appreciation Day.  

Students also joined in the celebration with essays read at morning assembly, hugs and treats for the teachers. The HSA provided the staff with a beautiful catered lunch and gifts for each of the staff members.

 

Yearbook Available for Pre-Order. 
Personalization Help Session Feb 15th!

Our students have been invited to assist with the mass.  Talk to Mrs. Tamarkin or TIA for more information.
