Tiger News

Dear St. Teresa Families!

As we close out another wonderful school year at St. Teresa Catholic School, I want to thank each of you for your support, prayers, and partnership throughout the year. It has been a joy watching our students grow academically, spiritually, and personally.

Today marks the last day of school, and while summer is here, our Tiger family will always remain connected. I hope your summer is filled with rest, laughter, family time, and many blessings.

Thank you for entrusting us with your precious gifts from God each and every day. We are grateful for the many memories made during our Centennial Year and look forward to continuing the legacy of faith, learning, and community at St. Teresa Catholic School.

If you have not already done so, please log into FACTS to ensure all tuition, lunch, extended care, sports, and other balances are paid in full. We also ask that families complete registration for the 2026–2027 school year if you have not already registered.

Have a safe and blessed summer, and we will see you back in August!

📅 Last Days of School

Double Your Impact!

All donations made this year to the St. Teresa’s Endowment Fund will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor. That means your gift goes twice as far in supporting our students, teachers, and programs.

Give generously. Give graciously. Help us reach our goal of $25,000!

Together, we can make a lasting difference.

We have great news! Rapid Expressions has launched an online perpetual order form, allowing families to order shirts anytime throughout the year—whether it’s one, two, or twenty!

No more waiting until May to get your Faith Family Shirt.

These shirts are optional for Field Day and also qualify as Spirit wear for Fridays!
