Peek of the Week

MARCH 30-APRIL 5, 2025
Dear St. Theresa Catholic School Families,
As we continue our Lenten journey and enter April, dedicated to the Holy Spirit, we are reminded to open our hearts to His guidance. This week, I encourage you to pray as a family, reflect on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, make small sacrifices, and find ways to serve others. These simple acts help us grow in faith as we prepare for Easter.
We also look forward to the joy of upcoming celebrations, especially Field Day! Moments like these remind us of the importance of faith, fellowship, and fun in our school community. May this season bring you peace and renewal.
Love and Light,
Sarah Fox
Principal

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL PARENTS REGARDING EARLY PICK-UPS & CAR LINE/KIDVENTURE STATUS
To ensure the safety and efficiency of our dismissal process, we kindly request that parents notify both the Front Office (frontoffice@sttheresa.cc) and their child(ren)'s homeroom teacher via email whenever an early pick-up is necessary. Likewise, please email as early as possible in the morning if you have a change to your child's carline pick-up or Kidventure status. This advance notice allows us to prepare your child for a smooth transition and ensures that we can accurately track student departures. Your cooperation in providing this information helps us maintain a secure and organized environment for all our students. Thank you for your help!

7TH & 8TH GRADE DANCE TO OCCUR ON APRIL 4TH!
STCS SCHOOL LIBRARY TO HOST READ-A-THON!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more. Our Read-A-Thon starts Tuesday April 1, 2025.
About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/VTpgqd/1 and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
St. Theresa Catholic School Library
