Letter from the Principal
Dear St. Teresa Families!
What an exciting week we've had here at St. Teresa School! From celebrating our Veterans, to our 8th graders participating in their Confirmation Retreat, and our 4th and 6th graders visiting the Relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux—it has truly been a week to remember.
Today, 2nd Quarter Progress Reports will be sent home for students who currently have a D or an F in any class. As a friendly reminder, FACTS (https://factsmgt.com/) is a great way to check your student's grades and stay up-to-date on missing assignments.
This weekend is a joyous occasion for our 8th graders as they receive the Sacrament of Confirmation tomorrow, Saturday, November 15th at 5:00 PM. All are invited to join us in celebrating the next step in their faith journey.
Reminders
-
Friday, November 21st is an Early Dismissal Day. There will be no extended care or lunch provided.
-
That evening, come join Perpetual Help’s Annual Holiday Game Night in the gym. It is always a wonderful time for all!
Finally, as we look ahead to the Christmas season, we’re preparing for a much-loved tradition — Santa’s Kottage! A Sign-Up Genius is provided for parents who would like to volunteer and help make this event a special experience for our students. You can sign up here: Santa’s Kottage Volunteer Sign-Up.
Thank you in advance for your help and for bringing the spirit of Christmas to life at St. Teresa!
As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership. TIGERS LEAD THE WAY!
Sincerely,
Nicole Green
Principal

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 $30,000!
Together, we can make a lasting difference.
Once a month at the 11:00 AM Mass at St. Teresa Church, we celebrate our Children and Youth Mass.
During this special liturgy, the young members of our parish are invited to take part in the ministries of the Mass—serving as greeters, ushers, readers, and gift bearers.
Our next Children and Youth Mass will be held on Sunday, December 7th at 11:00 AM. We encourage all families to mark their calendars and join us for this joyful celebration.
If your child would like to participate, please use the sign-up links below to select a ministry role.
We look forward to seeing our youth involved and growing in faith!
