Letter from the Principal
|
Dear Saint Theresa School Families,
I hope you enjoyed a happy Easter and had restful spring break.
Please note that I am scheduling a very important meeting for all Saint Theresa School families next Wednesday, April 26th at 7:00 pm in the gym. We would like to share the results of our NEASC visit, and make you aware of a few changes that MUST be made immediately. These changes will affect everyone and therefore it's important for all parents to attend this informative meeting.
Tickets for the Sports Banquet are now on sale in the main office. All attendees MUST purchase tickets in advance at a cost of $20.00 per person. The Banquet will be held in the school gym on Monday, May 1st at 7:00 pm.
The other major event that is quickly approaching is our 5K Race scheduled for Saturday morning, May 6th. It is our hope that each family, Pre-k to 8th grade, will sign up at least two runners/walkers for this important fundraiser. There is still some time to also considering being a sponsor. As always, please step up and help Saint Theresa School make this event a huge success.
I thank you all for your support and partnership.
S. Vittoria

NEASC Results Meeting for Parents - April 26, 7 pm
|
The reason schools go through the accreditation process is to have impartial observers help you see your strengths and places where you can improve. On Wednesday, April 26th, at 7 pm in the Gym we will meet as a school community to go over the highlights of these results. We will also be sharing changes that will be put in place in the next few weeks.
We need all parents at the meeting to insure understanding and to help with smooth implementation of these new procedures. We are dedicated to improving our school community, but that can only be achieved with everyone's participation.
Representatives of the HSA who speak Spanish and Portuguese will be there to help translate.
We thank you for making time for this important meeting.
Living in Faith, Growing in Knowledge.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tamarkin and Mrs. Larsson
NEASC Co-Chairs
EN ESPANOL - Reunión importante para todos los padres
La razón por la cual las escuelas pasan por el proceso de acreditación es tener observadores
imparciales que le ayuden a ver sus fortalezas y lugares donde puede mejorar. El miércoles
26 de abril, a las 7 pm en el Gimnasio nos reuniremos como una comunidad escolar para
repasar los aspectos más destacados de estos resultados. También estaremos compartiendo
los cambios que se pondrán en marcha en las próximas semanas.
Necesitamos que todos los padres allí para asegurar la comprensión y para ayudar con la
aplicación sin problemas de estos nuevos procedimientos. Estamos dedicados a mejorar
nuestra comunidad escolar, pero eso sólo puede lograrse con la participación de todos.
Le agradecemos que haya tomado tiempo para esta importante reunión.
Vivir en Fe, Crecer en Conocimiento.
Sinceramente,
Mrs. Tamarkin and Mrs. Larsson

Dress Down Day Tomorrow - $1
|
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
