Letter from the Principal
Tonight is an exciting night for our 7th grade Lady Tigers as they take on Queen of Peace for 1st place in the 7th Grade Volleyball Tournament.
Then tomorrow come cheer on our speech team as St. Teresa Hosts the Speech Meet. Watch out for our Mighty Pawns as they head over to St. Clare on Saturday for a Chess Tournament. And then on Sunday join us at St. Teresa Church for 11am Children's Mass. We can't wait to see you this weekend!
Don't forget to send in your School Board Annual Awards Nominations by March 19th to the St. Teresa School Office. Please write a letter of recommendation for the individual you would like to nominate and send it to St. Teresa School Office in a sealed envelope. The awardee's will be announced in April or May.
A thank you to all of our Annual Fund Donors, we greatly appreciate everyone who has donated to the St. Teresa School Annual Fund this year. You are making a difference in students lives!
“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.
Mother Teresa
As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership.
Sincerely,
Nicole Green
Principal
