TALENT SHOW ANNOUNCED

STA students were told there will be a Talent Show hosted this school year. Tryouts will be announced sometime after the Fair. Students should start talking with their friends to decide what they’d like to do or as a single student what talent they’d like to share. Dancing, singing, acting, playing an instrument, are some choices to consider. We know we’ll have some amazing talent at try-outs. Please note that only so many acts will be chosen for the show.

WATER BOTTLE ISSUE

We have allowed sales of water bottles from the cafeteria for students to take outside to recess due to the heat. Unfortunately we have had students popping holes in the tops of the bottles and then throwing them in the air to see if they will land standing straight up. Yesterday at recess on bottle landed on a power line. Others are getting wet from the water coming out of the bottles. Students have been notified if there are any more instances of waters bottles being thrown in the air, a consequence shall be issued and the privilege of bringing water bottles outside will no longer be allowed.

THANK YOU 4TH GRADERS!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our fourth graders who provided some interesting facts on Constitution Day last Friday to our student body. They helped all realize how important the United States Constitution is to our everyday lives as citizens. Very brave men stood up against the British, who wanted control of the country, and set down in writing the rights of the people in America. The actual celebration of Constitution Day is September 17th each year.

SEE YOU AT THE POLE

SEE YOU at the Pole day is on Wednesday, September 28, at 7:00 a.m. local time. All around the globe, in every time zone, students will be gathering at their flagpoles, praying for their school, friends, families, churches, and communities. SEE YOU AT THE POLE is a day committed to global unity in Christ and prayer for your generation. God’s Warriors invites students and parents to join us at the St. Theresa Middle flag pole on Wednesday (September 28th) from 7:00 a.m. – 7:10 a.m. We hope to “See You at the Pole”!
