Dear St. Teresa Families!

Congratulations to our 8th Grade Graduates!

Tonight at 6:00 PM, we proudly celebrate our 8th grade graduates as they take the next step in their journey. Graduation will be held at St. Teresa Catholic Church. We are incredibly proud of this special group and all they have accomplished during their time at St. Teresa. We wish them many blessings as they begin an exciting new chapter!

As we enter the last week of school, please take a few moments to review your FACTS account and ensure all balances have been paid in full. This includes tuition, lunch, sports, extended care, book fees, and any other outstanding charges. Report cards will be held until all accounts are settled. We appreciate your attention to this and your continued support.

Also, several students still have library books checked out. Please help us by ensuring all books are returned before the end of the school year. Any library books not returned will be charged to your FACTS account.

Thank you for helping us finish the school year strong!

📅 Last Days of School

This weekend, be sure to stop by and visit artist Sarah Skiold-Hanlin at Art on the Square! Sarah was generous enough to spend time with our St. Teresa students, sharing her artistic journey and discussing the beautiful work she has created. Experiences like these give our students a chance to connect classroom learning with real-world creativity and inspiration.

We are grateful to Mrs. Myers for coordinating this opportunity and helping enrich our students through meaningful experiences in the arts. Learn more about Sarah and her work at www.SarahSkioldHanlin.com
