Tiger News

Tiger Families,

Congratulations, to our 2nd graders on making their 1st Reconciliation! What an exciting time for them in their faith walk!

WOW!! What an auction! As I sat at the auction, I was reminded of the love and commitment each of you have for St. Teresa School. It is truly awe inspiring and humbling to be a part of this community who wants to do better. I am honored to be a TIGER!

Just a few reminders that Valentine's Day Parties are Tuesday, February 13th starting at 2pm. We know that our students are looking forward to this fun day!

Also, this February 15th our very own Mrs. Dedmon will grace the cover of The Messenger. The Messenger is a Catholic Newspaper that reports on the great things Catholic Schools and the Diocese are doing. Interested? Check out the link below for yearly subscriptions.

As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership.

Sincerely,

Nicole Green

Principal
