Together in Christ, we inspire the passion to learn.

Happy New Year
Welcome to 2012. We continue to work with our students to help them to “Be the person God made them to be.”
With the start of a New Year, we reflect back on the blessings and challenges of last year and set goals and resolutions for the upcoming year. We have been blessed with supportive families, staff and our parish, St. Theresa’s. Thank-you for all the hard work that you do to make our students and school a success.
We have had a needed break; one of rejuvenation and relaxation. We are now ready to continue with our learning and growing together as a community.
January is one of our most productive months in school. As we move into the new year, it is critical for students to develop solid work habits right from the start, as the concepts and curriculum will be more in depth and the pace quicker. Supporting your child(ren) by ensuring homework, home reading and assignments are being completed will help them succeed.
We are continuing our literacy focus. Our staff continues to learn and apply strategies in order to improve our student’s skills in both reading and writing. Take time to look at your child’s writing, strategies and feedback that is provided through assessments or assignments. Guide and encourage them to read their writing to be sure it is descriptive, detailed and that it makes sense. Make a resolution with your children to work on improving their writing skills by reading over what they write and encouraging them to make changes to make it better
We continue our commitment to providing our students with healthy options and opportunities. In January all students will receive Hip Hop lessons and Grade 4-6 students will be invited to participate in the upcoming Edmonton Journal Games Relays in February. Our leadership team will also be continuing to provide health tips and activities on MHTV.
