Hello, St. Teresa families!
Welcome to a brand-new school year at St. Teresa of Avila School! I am so excited to begin this year with you and your children. The first days of school are always filled with energy, anticipation, and joy, and I look forward to seeing our hallways and classrooms once again come alive with laughter, learning, and friendship.
At St. Teresa of Avila, we are deeply committed to creating a safe, caring, and Christ-centered environment where every child is supported to grow in both their learning and their faith. Our dedicated staff have been preparing with care and enthusiasm to ensure that your children feel welcomed, valued, and inspired from the moment they walk through our doors.
This year, our Division launches a new three-year faith theme: Anchored in Faith: Guided by Grace, Uplifted by Hope, Transformed by Love. At St. Teresa, we will begin our journey by focusing on being Guided by Grace. Grace calls us to treat one another with kindness, patience, and forgiveness, helping us to see Christ in each person we meet. Together as a school community, we look forward to exploring how God’s grace can guide our words, actions, and relationships throughout the year.
We warmly invite you to join us for school celebrations, liturgies, and masses, as these are moments where our community truly shines. Your presence enriches our shared faith life, and together, we strengthen the bonds that make St. Teresa of Avila such a special place.
As we step into this new school year, I am filled with hope and excitement for the learning, growth, and joy ahead. Thank you for the privilege of partnering with you in your child’s education and faith journey.
Wishing you and your family many blessings in the year ahead!
