Letter from the Principal
|
Dear Saint Theresa School parents & families,
Happy Spring to everyone!
In this edition of the e-news, you will find a list of dates for the end of school year activities, including the dates for graduation and the last day of school. Please note that Thursday, June 6th will now be an early dismissal instead of a day off. This change was necessary in order to make up snow days. I am in the process of working on the first draft of the 2017-18 calendar, and I hope to send it out by mid-April.
We are closing in on the big 5K Race scheduled for Saturday, May 6th. Please consider signing up a minimum of two runners/walkers so that we can achieve the desired results for this important fundraiser. I wish to thank those families and businesses who already stepped up to sponsor and assist with this event.
We are less than two weeks away from our accreditation visit scheduled for April 2-5, 2017. I thank you for all your support and participation in helping us prepare for the visiting committee, as well as getting our school ready for re-accreditation. I will keep you informed on the results of the visit.
Again, please take the time to review the end of year dates and activities included in this newsletter.
S. Vittoria

If you receive a letter from CEO stating your child has been accepted for the 2017-2018 scholarship year, you must bring the letter to the St. Theresa's school office. The letters are being sent out weekly as students are approved.
Your enrollment for next year and your address must be verified by the school. The principal must sign the letter and the
school must return the letter to CEO.
The letter must be back to CEO within two weeks from the acceptance date in the upper right corner of the letter to secure your scholarship. Verified letters returned late will not be guaranteed a scholarship. The offer may be passed on to a wait-listed student.
Please take care of this immediately if you receive a letter. If you have any questions, please call the school or check with CEO.

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 30th. 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!

Fairfield University Quick Center Summer Camps
|
The Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University is pleased to offer a range of arts and educational summer camp programming each year for youth in our community. As part of the Quick Center Arts Education and Outreach Fund, we aim to make sure that no child is denied the opportunity to participate in our education and fun camps due to financial difficulties, so we are encouraging you to share the information below and attached with families at your school and in your community that you believe will encourage a youth to attend our summer educational programs for free or partial scholarship.
We are in the midst of fundraising through our generous patrons to support scholarships for students and ask that you encourage youth to apply soon so that we know the need for our community.
The Quick Center Summer Camp Intensives and Missoula Children's Theatre Camps offer a wide array of educational experiences that offer students a crash course in the arts but also develop their skills in expression and confidence building.
We have availability in all of our Summer Camp Intensives (ages 9 and up depending on Intensive) including Fashion Design, Hip Hop Dance, Graffiti, and Singing for the Stage and more limited access to our six week-long camps as part of Missoula Children's Theatre (ages 6 and up).
