Tiger Families,

Last Thursday and Friday, we were able to celebrate our 8th graders and all of their accomplishments at the 8th Grade Banquet and Graduation. We could not be prouder of them! Then on Monday, Mr. Voss hosted the annual Sports Banquet, where we celebrated the successes of our St. Teresa/Notre Dame teams. It has been a wonderful five days of celebrating our St. Teresa Students!

During Graduation our 8th graders were given a challenge, to live their life like Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. It is a challenge that I know our St. Teresa Students have been prepared for through their educational career here at St. Teresa Catholic School.

It is a challenge I now pass on to our St. Teresa Community:

Serve like Martha - she served others even when she was frustrated, she knew the importance of service. Service to others is one of the greatest things you can do as a disciple of Christ.

Love like Mary - always put Christ first and have a profound love for Jesus. No matter what circumstance you face, always put Christ first. When you do that the love for Christ and others will show.

And lastly witness like Lazarus. Be a witness for Christ. In your daily lives in your actions and words, show that you are different from everyone else because you have the Holy Spirit within you.

There is no obstacle too great if you live your life like Martha, Mary, and Lazarus.

As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership.

Sincerely,

Nicole Green

Principal

Dear Tiger Families,

It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is quickly approaching. With that being said, there are several items that need to be taken care of before the last day.

All tuition, extended care, lunch, and book fees MUST be paid in full in order for students to receive their report card OR to receive records for transfer.

Please ensure that you are checking FACTS for the latest information on items that are due.

If there are any damages or missing Chromebook items, students will be charged the fee listed below that was agreed upon at the beginning of the year in the Chromebook/Technology Handbook.

Loss and/or Damaged

St. Teresa School will repair or replace damaged equipment resulting from normal use. Any damage or repair not due to normal wear and tear, will be the responsibility of the student and their parent/guardian. St. Teresa may be able to order replacement parts for the student, but the student and their parent guardian will be responsible for reimbursing St. Teresa for the cost of such parts. St. Teresa will make its best attempt to purchase replacement parts at the best possible price.

Important Dates to Remember:

May 17th - PreK-4 Graduation

May 21st - Last Day of School 11:30 Dismissal (no lunch provided)

Thank you for entrusting your students with us, and we look forward to seeing them for the 2024-2025 school year!
