Peek of the Week

MAY 18-24, 2025
Dear St. Theresa Catholic School Families,
As we approach the final days of the school year, my heart is filled with gratitude, joy, and pride for all that we have experienced and accomplished together.
Today, we celebrated a truly special milestone—our 8th grade graduation. Surrounded by their families, teachers, and our community, the Class of 2025 was honored during a beautiful graduation Mass and ceremony. These students have grown into remarkable young men and women, and we could not be more proud of the leaders they have become. We send them forth with our prayers and blessings as they begin their high school journeys.
As we wrap up this school year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you—our students, teachers, staff, and parents—for the faith, hard work, and dedication that have made this year so meaningful. The final few days will be filled with joy, reflection, and celebration, and I encourage everyone to take a moment to recognize how far we’ve come.
Let us finish strong, with grateful hearts and hopeful spirits. May God continue to bless our school, our families, and especially our graduates as they embark on new beginnings.
Love and Light,
Sarah Fox
Principal
