Peek of the Week

APRIL 13-19, 2025
Dear St. Theresa Catholic School Families,
As we journey through the sacred season of Lent, we are reminded of the importance of prayer, reflection, and acts of kindness. This time invites us to grow closer to God and to one another as we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.
This coming Sunday, we will celebrate Palm Sunday, marking Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week. It is a meaningful time for our community to reflect on Christ’s love and sacrifice.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our families for the incredible support shown during our 1st Annual Read-a-Thon! Your encouragement, enthusiasm, and generosity helps make this event a joyful success and a true celebration of our love for reading.
May this season continue to be a time of grace for your family, filled with peace, hope, and renewal.
Love and Light,
Sarah Fox
Principal

REMINDER: UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE POLICIES
Dear Parents or Guardians, We thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our school's dress code and uniform policies. Lately, we have noticed an increase of uniform violations, specifically regarding earrings and makeup. To ensure consistency and maintain our school’s expectations, we would like to offer a few reminders:
Earrings: Only small stud earrings are permitted, and only for girls. Hoop earrings, and dangling earrings.
Makeup: Students should not wear makeup of any kind to school. This includes foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, blush, and eyeliner.
Permitted: Clear chapstick or lip balm.
Fingernail Polish: Only solid-colored nail polish is allowed.
Artificial Nails: These are not permitted at any grade level. If your child currently has artificial nails, please ensure they are removed over Easter Break.
Thank you for being so supportive in upholding the standards that reflect the values of our school community.
