Peek of the Week

As we continue our journey through the season of Lent, we are reminded of the beauty of sacrifice, prayer, and acts of kindness. This week, I encourage your family to embrace a "Screen-Free Evening Challenge." Set aside one evening to disconnect from screens—no phones, TV, or tablets—and instead, spend time together in meaningful conversation, prayer, or a simple family activity. Use this time to reflect on the ways we can grow closer to God and one another by being fully present.

I also want to extend a huge congratulations to the cast and crew of Junie B. Jones The Musical Jr. for their incredible performances! Their dedication and enthusiasm made the show a true success. A special thank you to Mrs. King and Mrs. Glad for their leadership and creativity in bringing this production to life. We are so proud of our talented students!

May this season of Lent bring renewal and peace to your families. Thank you for your continued partnership in faith and education.

Love and Light,

Sarah Fox

Principal

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!

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,
