Tryout Workshop for Spring Musical
will be held on Friday, Dec. 14th @ 1:30pm in the Music Room
|

Shortly after returning from Christmas break, Saint Theresa Catholic School will begin rehearsals for our annual spring musical. Due to schedules, the production will be earlier in the year than in the past - yet still another exceptional opportunity for our students to learn and display their theatrical talents.
It will take many volunteer hours to insure that our students have this experience that has come to be known as unique to the Saint Theresa community. Please help by sharing your talents and time with the many others who join forces each year.
To help and learn more details about the musical, please see the online volunteer sign up page.
Thank you for all that you do for the students of Saint Theresa!

From the Pastor
Security Enhansements Update ...
|
|
First and foremost, our goal has been to strive for highest quality with reasonable cost - to arrive at a comprehensive campus security plan (rather than simply a knee-jerk response) involves multiple steps, beginning with thorough assessment of current campus usage and existing security features (e.g., gates, intercoms and working cameras).
