St. Teresa Tidbits

We are so excited to have all of our K-8 students back at school Wednesday, August 23! Just a friendly reminder that buses may take longer to arrive than usually on the first day as we try really hard to make sure everyone is on the correct bus. If someone misses the bus, please assure your child that a staff member will get them to where they need to go.

Did you know that our entire playground and shelter in Ossian was made possible through Eagle Scouts from Troop 88? We have a scout who has raised money to build a handicap accessible gaga ball pit with treated lumber but would like to upgrade to structural composite board as seen in the picture. If you are willing to help our scout upgrade, please send your donation to St. Teresa of Calcutta School and put in the memo eagle scout project. Additional funds will go towards rubber matting. Thank you so much for your consideration.
