Chromebook Heroes!!!
Our thanks to families who have stepped up and became Chromebook Heroes! 

The Pacific family has sponsored 2 new Chromebooks! Greg is an alumnus from the class of 1996.

An anonymous donation was made in memory of  Charles Kreussling to support the purchase of 5 Chromebooks!

Thank you both for answering the call!

If anyone would like information on the Chromebooks or was considering becoming a hero with a full or partial Chromebook donation, please see Mrs. Tamarkin or reply to this eNews.
Computer Lab Monitors Available for Purchase
Looking to make multi-tasking on your computer easier? The desk top CPUs from the Computer Lab (2007) have gone to a better place, but the monitors are great for extending your screen and being able to work on two windows at the same time.  

The connection is an AVG port.  If you are interested in purchasing one of the 17 monitors, please see Mrs. Tamarkin.  The cost is $20 each.  

The funds raised will be used to purchase 2 new Chromebooks. And if there is a hero or two out there who wants to help sponsor new Chromebooks for the Computer Lab, we would love to meet with you! Also, please see Mrs. Tamarkin. :)
First Grade Creates Good Deed Beads for Lent
One of the special activities that the first grade does each year is to create their very own set of Good Deed Beads to keep in their pockets. St. Theresa was given a set by her oldest sister to help her remember to do acts of kindness, prayer and small sacrifices for Jesus during Lent. Each time a student does one of these they slide one of their beads.  The students beads are colorful, fun and all unique, but best of all are the good deeds they will inspire.  Why not make your own set for Lent?





Yearbook Available for Pre-Order.

Gently Used Toy Drive

Hello Parents, Students and Friends,

The Tigers In Action, is starting a Gently Used Toy Drive. We are having this drive because there are many kids in need, who are not as fortunate as us, and don't have many toys. The drive started February 28th and will end March 20th. There is a white bin in the lobby of the school. Please place the toys in there. Any gently used toys would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
