Next week is Catholic Schools Week at St Theresa! 

I look forward to seeing everyone at 10:00 Mass on Sunday and then in school at the Open House after Mass.  Any student in uniform will receive a dress down pass for Monday!

A special thanks to our Parents Association for their help in organizing Dads n’ Donuts for us on Wednesday – don’t forget to RSVP!

Thanks as well to our Student Council for organizing the whole week around a special service project for the DuPage Animal Shelter. They have planned fun activities and fundraising opportunities for us to help them support the good work of preservation and education by this organization.  I would like you to note that this project was organized entirely by the Student Council. These students, ranging in age from 10-14 years old, chose and defended their idea, met with the Shelter, organized the activities, and arranged for the presentation to the students next Friday. They had to make a presentation to the faculty and coordinate with various staff members to facilitate their projects.  While I am certainly proud of them, I am impressed with their efforts, their leadership, and their follow through. It’s going to be a fun week!

Thank you for your cooperation with the late start on Tuesday.  It allowed us extra time to get our parking lots and walks salted and extra time to get our staff in.  In the future, this call will be made much earlier, ideally, even the night before. 

I would like to invite everyone to come to the Parish Town Hall meetings during Catholic Schools Week.  At these gatherings on Monday at 1:00 in the Lower Dolan or Wednesday at 7:00 in the O’Brien Fr. Tim will present his vision for the future of the parish and how we can be a part of this next part of the history of our parish. I encourage you to attend one of these meetings and learn more about the exciting future of our parish!

Are you looking for an easy way to volunteer here at school? We are looking for a parent to come and run our laminator! Job takes an hour or so, usually one day a week. It can be at any time including after school. We will teach you how to use our laminator and you will run any laminating the teachers need for the week!  Interested? Please email me at mkeenley@sttheresaschool.com

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

8th Grade Graduation Picture Day! Such an exciting time of the year as our 8th graders begin to prepare for their journey to high school! Countdown to graduation, May 23, 2024! 

Congratulations to Jessie! She is the youngest 1st place winner of the VFW 4th District Patriot Pen Award since 2018! The essay contest encourages young minds to explore America's history. In addition, consider their own experiences in society by drafting a 300-400 word essay, expressing their views. 

Our kindergarten smarties collected some creative embellishments to decorate their snowman!

Students in first grade have their thinking caps securely fastened and their headsets on as they focus on their iReady Math diagnostic testing.

Students in first grade love library Time! In addition to storytime, and book checkout, there are some fun and engaging activities for students in our primary grades to participate in.
