Peek of the Week

JANUARY 26-FEBRUARY 1, 2025
Dear STCS Families,
On behalf of the entire St. Theresa Catholic School faculty and staff, I am delighted to announce the upcoming celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, from January 26th to February 1st, 2025! This special week is a time for us to come together as a community to celebrate the unique and invaluable education we provide to our students.
Catholic Schools Week is a vital opportunity to:
- Showcase the Excellence of Catholic Education: We will highlight the academic rigor, faith-based values, and enriching experiences that make our school so special.
- Express Gratitude: We extend our sincere gratitude to our dedicated teachers, supportive parents, our community and its leaders, and generous benefactors who make our school a vibrant and thriving community.
- Strengthen Our Faith: Through prayer, reflection, and community events, we will deepen our connection to our Catholic faith and its enduring values.
- Reach Out to Our Community: We will share the blessings of Catholic education with our neighbors and encourage others to consider the transformative power of a faith-filled education.
The theme, "United in Faith and Community," perfectly encapsulates the spirit of our school. We believe that a strong foundation in faith, coupled with a supportive and inclusive community, empowers our students to become compassionate, responsible, and successful individuals as well as serve our motto: faith, service and knowledge. Throughout the week, we will be host a variety of engaging events for students, families, and the wider community. Please read below regarding specific activities and how you can participate.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the many blessings of Catholic education during Catholic Schools Week. Let us come together as a united community, strengthened in our faith and grateful for the unique opportunities that our school provides.
Love and Light,
Mrs. Sarah Fox
Principal
