Friday, January 20 is a $1.00 Jeans Day. I aplogize for the late notice. Mrs. Hawkinson

This year’s Catholic Schools Week theme is: Academics. Faith. Service. The students, parents and parish community will gather to begin our week-long celebration on Sunday, January 29, 2012 with our Home School Breakfast 9am-1pm, where school parents and parish members serve terrific homemade items and bakery goods.

The school community will attend the 10am Mass celebrating our faith together.

Our Open House, where we will have the tuition scale for the 2012-13 school year, is open to all families interested in a challenging Catholic academic program. We accept children of all faiths. St. Therese of Jesus School offers a full day academic PK 4 program, a full day academic Kindergarten program and Grades 1-8. We offer Religion every day, going to Mass once a week and intregrated throughout the curriculum for a strong Catholic identity; we use PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) as our discipline outline; we have small classes to meet individual needs; and we have athletics, art, computer, music and physical education.

Those families needing after school care, we offer teacher supervised care from dismissal to 5 pm for only $3.oo per hour.

Teachers, students and parents will be available during the Breakfast and the Open House to answer your questions. If you cannot attend these activities on January 29th, please contact the school office at 630/898-0620 for a personal tour.

Friday, January 13 is a free Jeans Day. This reward for the first all school Bingo of this new year! Keep up the good work!
