Our last newsletter for the current school year! How does the time go so quickly?
Mass was even more wonderful this morning with so many family members joining us! Thank you for helping us send off our fifth and sixth-grade friends to their next learning adventures.
This afternoon, our preschool through third-grade friends learning about Pope Francis's encyclical, Laudatio Si. An encyclical is a letter from the pope that is sent around to all of the bishops with instructions on an important topic. In Laudatio Si, which is Latin for Praise be to you, the first line of the encyclical, Pope Francis asks us to be good stewards of our resources, to take care of Earth our common home, and to be responsible consumers. As a part of this, we watched the movie, Wall-E which explores the same themes. This learning is another step in our progress toward each of our students becoming Junior Master Gardeners.
We also wrote letters of gratitude to Fr. Evelio. We are so grateful for his love for our school and his support over the past few years. As much as we will miss him, we are looking forward to welcoming Fr. Max when we return to school in the fall. The students are writing words of advice for Fr. Max, those important things they think he should know about our school.
Report cards will be coming home on June 15. Starting on Monday, the school office will be open from 9 am to 2 pm, Mondays through Thursdays. The office will close for the summer on Thursday, June 29.
K-Camp and Summer Reading Club will start on Tuesday, July 11. We are looking forward to these fun summer learning events!
Thank you for all of your support and for your commitment to St. Therese over the past year. Have a safe and relaxing summer.
St. Therese, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, pray for us,
Sheryl O'Connor
