🍁🍂We are Seeing Signs of Fall Everywhere!🍂🍁

Medical Incident in our Class this Week:

Thank you all for your concern and prayers for our little sweetheart who suffered a medical incident in our class this week.  She received prompt medical attention.  She bounced right back to her bubbly self and is doing well.  Your prayers and positive thoughts are very much appreciated.  I would also like to thank everyone for respecting our friend and her family's privacy.  It is a true testament of the character and  values of our families here at St. Therese School.  💗

Weekly Recap:

We had an exciting week creating such a clatter in PreK-3!  We loved using our ears to hear, parading in a marching band with our Rain Sticks, reading, singing and dancing along to Pete the Cat, learning about and creating our own Crabs, Candy Corns, Cats and  Cars, and talking about our feelings and how it is ok to be a little "crabby" sometimes and so much more!
