Dear Parent,

 

Congratulations to our very talented students who performed at the annual STS Variety Show last Friday night.  It was a very enjoyable evening!  Thank you to Jean Dziedzic and her volunteer staff for making sure everything flowed smoothly….from the wonderful acts to the delicious snacks to the clean up! 

 

A huge thank you to Barb Weiss for printing the program and to Greg Weiss for compiling the music for the show, taping it, and producing the DVD.  Orders for the DVD are due by February 19.  Order forms are available at the front desk.  If anyone is interested in coordinating this event next year, please call Jean Dziedzic at 847-612-0963.

 

Tragedy has come to St. Theresa School again.  Mr. Larry Schroeder, husband of Rita Schroeder, suffered a massive stroke over the weekend and passed away on February 9.  Please check the Smith-Corcoran website for wake and funeral details.

 

SIX FLAGS READING CONTEST

The Six Flags Reading Contest ends next Friday, February 19.  Students in grades K through 6 must read for 6 hours and turn in a completed “Keeping Track” form by February 19 to earn a ticket to Six Flags.  Please call or email Patty Jasonowicz or Wendi Maniscalco if you have any questions.  Happy Reading!

 

BOXTOP CONTEST RETURNS

Our second Boxtops for Education contest is underway until February 17.  The three classrooms with the highest total of boxtops will receive a dress down day of their choice.  The school receives a check that benefits all students.

 

ABSENCES AND CHANGES AT DISMISSAL

Parents, please review the School Handbook for policies on absences and changes in dismissal.   Instances of non-compliance have been brought to my attention this school year.  When a child is absent, you must call the front office by 8:15, giving the child’s name, room number, reason for absence and what you want done with homework.  When you have a change in normal dismissal procedure for your child, it must be in writing the morning of the change or a call must be made to the front office as early in the day as possible.  E-mail notification for absences and changes in dismissal to the teacher are not acceptable.  Thank you for following the guidelines of the school.

 

BAKER'S SQUARE FUNDRAISER NIGHT

On Sunday, February 21, from 5 - 8 PM, Baker’s Square on Northwest Hwy. will donate 10% of the event sales to St. Theresa’s Women’s Club to be used for various parish needs. (Please mention St. Theresa Women's Club when ordering.)

THANK YOU

Thank you to all the students and parents who participated in Community Service Day.  Middle school students helped out at 13 different locations including nursing homes, Cancer Society and the police station, and thanks to the younger grades, lots of Valentines and placemats brought smiles to the faces of the elderly at 6 nursing homes.  A great day all around...thanks to all!

Jan Sasso, mother of teacher Kate Sasso, who is ill,
