Last Thursday, we had our Second Annual Bring Your Parents to School Day! 50% of students had a parent representative attend, and teachers did a fabulous job helping parents understand what to expect with a child at St. Theresa Catholic School!
It has been an amazing, spectacular, grace-filled, joyful, friendly, blessed week!!!

***BREAKING NEWS***
KARK/FOX16 plans to be at our school in the morning to do a segment on back-to-school!
If you're a parent or teacher, maybe they'll want to talk to you on camera. If you're a fan of St. Theresa Catholic School, watch for us on the morning news!
We want to take the time to publicly share our thanks for St. Theresa Altar Society!
We asked them to help us make a real, cozy, awesome, amazing teachers lounge...and they went all out for us! For the last several years, the teachers' lounge has been in various spaces not much larger than a closet. This teacher's lounge - the size of a classroom - is amazing for meetings, lunches, break times, and more!
The teachers are getting to meetings early in order to get comfy seats! They love eating meals together. They are so happy!
Thank you, again, Altar Society! Please support their bake sale Aug 24-25!
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Matthew 16:24-25
What a staff we have at St. Theresa Catholic Church and School! (And this isn't everyone!)
We are grateful for this ministry at this sacred place.
We are ready to see our school families today between 2:00 and 6:00 for Open House! You will enter the school at the covered sidewalk (dropoff entrance). Parking in the front lot is a good idea. Carts will be available for parents bringing in lots of school supplies.
Everyone is invited to a prayer service in the library at 6:00 pm, followed by a time of fellowship. Please bring food to share, potluck style.
