Catholic Schools Week 2025
St. Theresa Catholic School
JANUARY 13, 2025
Dear STCS Families,
The faculty, staff, and I are genuinely thrilled to celebrate Catholic Schools Week from January 26 to February 1! This week is dedicated to honoring and showcasing the significance of Catholic education throughout the United States, emphasizing the unique opportunities and positive influence that Catholic schools, like St. Theresa, offer to students, families, and communities. Throughout this special week, we will concentrate on faith, service, and academic excellence through a variety of activities and events. Additionally, we will have some fun with a few free dress days, shopping at the Book Fair, and enjoying Career Day alongside our parents and community.
Below, you’ll find daily details about Catholic Schools Week, as well as links to register for various activities.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your child's homeroom teacher.
Let’s make Catholic Schools Week 2025 a wonderful celebration!
With love and light,
Sarah Fox
Principal
