Letter from the Principal
|
Dear Saint Theresa School Families,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish each of you a blessed Easter. May the spirit of the risen Christ be with you and your family on Easter morning and every day throughout the year.
A reminder that next week we have our scheduled spring break and school will re-open on Tuesday, April 18th. Also, please note that Wednesday & Thursday, April 19th & 20th, we are scheduled for parent teacher conferences from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Dismissal for K-8 on these days will be at 12:30 pm.
Tickets for the Sports Banquet, which is scheduled for Monday, May 1st, are now on sale in the office. The cost is $20.00 per person. Please purchase your tickets early so we can have an accurate count.
Finally, today we conclude our NEASC accreditation visit. I wish to thank all of you for your support and cooperation throughout the process. A special thank you to those parents who assisted with the self-study, the interviews, and the reception this past Sunday. The students really stepped it up during this past week as the visiting committee was impressed by their discipline and maturity.
Happy Easter and enjoy the Spring break!
S. Vittoria

NEASC Accreditation Visit
|
A huge thank you to everyone for all of the hard work with the self-study report, the rooming committee, the hospitality committee, the hallway displays, and everyone who was welcoming a gracious to our guests! This visit was two years in the making. It's important because it affirms what we do well, and helps us grow and change where we can improve.
The very first thing the chair and co-chair said was that none of them had ever been in a school, including their own, that lived their Catholic identity so beautifully. Ms. Carney, a principal of many decades, said she would recommend our school to anyone who want to see what a Catholic school should look like.
They said our community could not have been more welcoming. From the food, to the cards, and gift bags, the smiles and the conversations they all felt extremely well cared for. They really enjoyed meeting with our students, so please thank your class reps. To all of the SAB and HSA Board members who came for the welcoming dinner and interviews, thank you for helping them see the full picture of who we are as a school community.
We will receive the report from the committee with the affirmations, recommendations, and areas that need change. This process has been wonderful for helping us to strive and grow. We look forward to working with you as we continue to improve and celebrate our wonderful school.
Living in Faith, Growing in Knowledge.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tamarkin and Mrs. Larsson

CEO Scholarship Next Steps
|
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.

Students Invited to Reach Out to a Grieving Child
|
When a child loses a sister at such a young age, it is hard to know how to reach out and offer support.
On St. Patrick's Day, a little, six year old girl from Trumbull named Mia McCaffrey went home to Jesus.
Mia has a 5 year old brother named James, who is terribly sad about the passing of his big sister.
My hope is, that as a community, we at Saint Theresa School would join with, Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer (this is an organization that helps support cancer patients and their families) and mail James a card with a happy thought, an idea for something fun over the summer, or a joke that will make him smile. It would be lovely if every student composes a short note or card and upon completion, the classroom teacher collect them all and for efficiency sake, mail them all in one large envelope addressed to:
Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer
c/o: The McCaffrey Family
P.O. Box 4064
Middletown, NJ 07748
If you need an idea to start, James loves Star Wars and anything related to super heroes!
Should you have any questions, please feel free to see me and I would be only too happy to give further direction. If you would like, I would happily mail the cards/notes off as well.
Thursday, April 20, 2017 has been designated as a dress down day and all proceeds collected will go toward a gift card for the family and a toy for James.
May we all continue to live our mission as we remain grounded in faith, supported by hope and surrounded by love.
Thank you,
Ronnie Larsson Pre-K 5
