Peek of the Week

JANUARY 19-25, 2025
Dear STCS Families,
As we head into the long weekend, we pause to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a remarkable example of faith, courage, and service. His unwavering commitment to justice and love echoes the teachings of Christ and the "little way" of St. Therese, who taught us that small acts of kindness can transform the world.
May this holiday inspire us all to seek peace, show compassion, and make a positive difference in our community, just as Dr. King and St. Therese modeled through their lives of faith and service.
Wishing you a blessed and restful weekend.
Love and Light,
Mrs. Sarah Fox
Principal
