Ambassador's Program - Volunteer Request
|
To welcome and assist new friends and families during their transition to the St. Theresa School Community.
The NEASC visiting team recognized that we are a diverse community, who need to look to supporting the members of our community. To work towards that objective we invite you and your family to become and A
mbassadors.
This is a new program that will help formalize how St.Theresa School approaches, nurtures, and welcomes new families into our community. To become an ambassador you need to have a child enrolled in the current school year and he or she should have attended St. Theresa for more than one consecutive school year. The ambassadors will help St. Theresa School's new parents become more quickly acclimated to the community. Ambassadors will be assigned to specific families who have a student in the same grade level.
As an ambassador, you would be expected to:
- Reach out, introduce, and welcome new parents to the community
- Share any relevant information about the school's expectations, handbook rules, etc.
- Be accessible to answer questions and/or concerns (primarily by e-mail).
- Encourage new parents to participate in school events and activities (i.e. meet the new family at the Ice Cream Social and/or Walk-a-thon to make introductions to other St. Theresa families).
- Seek out new parents at St. Theresa events and help them to get involved in the community.
Please respond to the HSA email if you are interested in becoming an ambassador. If you speak a second language, have community ties and knowledge or are just interested in making new friends please consider helping out. Sue Turotsy will be the coordinator for this program.

Second Grade May Crowning Liturgy
|
The second grade did a beautiful job leading the May Crowning Liturgy! This year a parishioner had donated a statue of Our Lady of Fatima and statues of the children she appeared to in honor of the 100th anniversary of the apparitions. Our thanks to Mrs. Gibbons for a helping the second grade do such a great job!

Nature's Classroom is a an interactive,interest based learning experience 5-day field trip that the seventh grade class is able to participate in. Nature's classroom allows students to be separated from electronics and experience nature in a way many can't. Students eat full breakfast, lunch, and dinner whilst trying to control "Ort," an old english term for uneaten and wasted food on your plate. Students participate in new and intriguing activities every day and always enjoy two daily activities. A hike through nature with your field group (8 other students and a group leader, a nature's classroom teacher). as well as "Special interest classes," which are similar to a choose your own adventure type of course where students could choose how and what they wanted to explore, such as dissections or rocket building, even to learning about the Salem witch trials.
Nature's classroom has many positives an upsides: I was able to be detached from technology for a week which allowed me to understand more about nature and the world we live in. I was able to experience a course where I was able to walk down a flowing stream. I learned about edible plants and the difference between hemlock and pine leaves. I learned not to scapegoat people as they did in the Salem Witch Trials. We were able to learn space management and organization to be neat and organized in our cabins. It was a wonderful experience and I am glad our entire class went and was able to experience this exciting experience.

The news from Mrs. Ronnow
|
|
The 7th grade class made their annual trip up to Nature's Classroom the week of May 8th- 12th. A good time was had by all. The weather was rather chilly for the first several days, but that did not stop our students from enjoying the wonders of the outdoors. They took long hikes and night time adventures, dissecting some animals and extracted DNA from fruit. We took a journey on "The Oregon Trail" one morning and enjoyed the skits of "Thursday Night Live".
Mr. Aaron Cieniawa volunteered as our chaperone for the boys cabin while Mrs. Ronnow was in with the girls all week. Mr. Lieby graciously picked up our Speech Contestants on Monday night so he was able to enjoy dinner and the Team Building Activities (how do you make a lower case B with our field group without talking?) as well as the Nighttime Singalong. Mr. Vittoria was able to join us on Tuesday and
then St. James 7th grade arrived on Wednesday.
It was a wonderful week of learning about Nature, ourselves and Team building and everyone had a good time.

Eighth Grade Visits FDR's Library
|
The 8th graders had the opportunity to visit President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Presidential Library in Hyde Park, New York. The students truly enjoyed exploring FDR's former home and museum. The students toured the interior of FDR's home, explored the library's museum, and visited the grave-site of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt. Inside the library's museum, the students were able to see exhibits on the Great Depression, World War II, and FDR's four terms as president, among others. Additionally, the students has the opportunity to explore the grounds of the museum, which included FDR's former stables and gardens. Overall, the students had an educationally fun experience!

Seventh Grade Math in Action
|
Mrs. Drew's 7th grade class just finished statistics and analyzing data. They learned to analyze line plots, histograms, bar graphs, circle graph, and scatter plots. They also calculated the mean, median, mode, upper quartile, lower quartile, and the interquartile range.
Mrs. Drew's students are using M & M's, Smarties, and Skittles to make circle graphs and histograms.

We are so proud of our students for taking time to care for the sick children at St. Jude's Hospital by participating in the st. Jude's Math-a-thon. These students asked sponsors to make a small donation for each math problem they completed. This is a wonderful example of St. Theresa's little way. Their actions grew into a big difference. The raised $2,500 for the children! Our thanks to the students and sponsors!
