A Note From Dr. Sandra E, Derby:
Each year at this time, Catholic Schools around the country celebrate their existence! Here at St. Theresa School our week will be characterized by special events and activities, by the opening of our doors to family, friends, alums, and visitors, and by special times for prayer, worship, and celebration. French Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin once wrote: Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God. If this is true, I would venture to say that there is evidence of God's presence every single day at St. Theresa School. It will be our delight to welcome many into that joy this week!
On behalf of the students, parents, and staff of St. Theresa School, I want to thank you for the many ways you support our mission and our students. Your interest and generosity help widen our school community to include the entire parish. For all your calls asking if we are in need of furniture, books, toys, or volunteers; for the ongoing support given to our students by the St. Theresa Women's Club, the Knights of Columbus (who last year inaugurated a raffle to benefit our 8th grade trip), the Friends of St. Theresa Golf Tournament Committee (who over fourteen years has raised a remarkable $770,000. for St. Theresa School, for your generous contributions to our tution assistance fund and our annual appeal; and most especially for the witness of faith you give our students by your active presence in our worshipping assembly - our sincerest thanks.
Be assured of our prayers on your behalf as we celebrate this very special week. Know that your presence in this community is essential to our eductional mission and both supports and inspires our work. May God, we has begun this good work, continue it to fulfillment (Philippians 1:6)
With warmest appreciation,
Dr. Sandra E. Derby, Principal
