Notes From Father JC
‌
Would You Like to Vacation on Venus?

As I write these notes, I am chiming in from Riverside County mountain town of Idyllwild. I am with the 6th Graders at AstroCamp! If you didn't know, I am a big kid at heart and I am the first one to sign up for these field trips! I have now been to CIMI three times, Washington DC and Sky Y with the students of STCS. This is yet, another great opportunity that Saint Theresa Catholic School provides for its students. These opportunities are pretty fabulous! They support our curriculum with hands-on experiences that focus on Marine Science, Island Ecology and Adventure, and they strive to meet our school’s individual scholastic needs.

Teacher Spotlight
Kindergarten-
Mrs. Danielle Wright
Mrs. Wright is one of our Kindergarten teachers. She came to us in 2016 and has quickly become a favorite!!

Parents love Mrs. Wright’s constantly positive approach to teaching kindergartners. She encourages her students to use their imagination and work on problem-solving skills, particularly with a variety of STEM-focused class projects. She uses the Class Dojo app to update parents with photos and videos from class, as well as a behavior tracking and motivation tool. She keeps students engaged with additional fun in-class rewards (such as fun “minion parties”). Mrs Wright also uses a flexible seating plan where students choose among a variety of tables and seats to complete their in class work. Students are encouraged to try different seating configurations to see how they learn and focus the best. Mrs. Wright is particularly beloved for her creative and research-backed approach to teaching, which accommodates a variety of learning types and skill levels.

She and her husband Dustin love spending time with their son and going on family adventures. Mrs. Wright is an Arizona native and loves the desert and all of its beauty. She and her son love to read and are always on the hunt for storybooks to read together. She is a gem of a human and we are so incredibly blessed to have her at STCS!!










IMPORTANT PARISH NEWS
Reflections from Father Chuck- NOV 10, 2019
My Brothers and Sisters,

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the Armistice to end the four years of fighting of World War I began. The Armistice was the result of an agreement signed by representatives Great Britain and France (on behalf of the Allies) and Germany, who accepted blame for the “Great War” as part of the agreement.
Armistice Day or Remembrance Day came to be commemorated on November 11 th  in many countries that were involved in the First World War.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Knights Corner: #GivingTuesday :  Thanksgiving = giving thanks and giving back.  December 3 is Giving Tuesday  — an international day of giving that follows the gratefulness of Thanksgiving with the generosity of charity. This Giving Tuesday, the Knights of Columbus will raise money to purchase more than 6,000 new coats for children in need. We’ll only have 24 hours to raise $125,000 — the amount needed to bring the gift of warmth to thousands — and we’ll need your help to do it. Sincerely, Knights of Columbus Charities.
