From the Principal's Office...
Thank you to everyone who donated goodies or helped out at our St. Valentine's Day Celebrations this week. It was wonderful to stop and remember are blessed we are to have so many friends and so much love in our lives. It is good to be part of the St. Therese School Family.
We may have just passed St. Valentine's Day, but we are already gearing up for March is Reading Month! All students are invited to submit the title of their favorite picture book to Mrs. O'Connor by Thursday, February 23. Children may write the name on a slip of paper or the teachers have small voting slips. There is a bucket in the office to collect votes. We will draw the names for our very own "Sweet Sixteen Tournament of the Books" on Friday. February 24 at the end of the day. Classrooms will have a read-off and vote for their choice as we read through the month of March and choose a Book Tournament Champion for our school.
As we turn our focus to reading, we will also be exploring ways to turn off the tech and do a digital detox. See our first idea here in Growing Saints today!
Finally, we are seeing a bug make its way through the building (again!). This one brings on an upset tummy and diarrhea, but not necessarily a fever. Please remember that your child needs to be free from vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever for at least a day without medications before they attend school. We have attached a copy of the health department guidelines as a reminder.
St. Therese, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, pray for us!
