THE BRUIN BULLETIN St. Teresa of Avila

Gratitude Corner We extend our sincerest thanks to the Education

Commission members who served as tour guides for this

year’s Open House. It speaks volumes when current

parents welcome prospective families to our school and

share their experiences and opinions with them.

Thanks to Mrs. Drinkuth and her daughter who baked 500

cookies for the Open House! Thanks for sharing your

“sweet” gift of time.

We would like to thank Mrs Miller who planned our

festivities for Catholic School’s Week. We appreciate all

of her organizing and preparing of the week’s activities. It

is good that we can celebrate and show our gratitude for

our faith and our school.

Thanks to the 8th grade who helped with the Canned Good

Collection on Tuesday and to the families who

contributed.

Thanks to the 8 students who represented our school at the

Catholic Schools Week Mass at the Cathedral. We also

appreciate the parents who drove to the Cathedral.

Thanks to the Student Council who helped during Open

House and sold the paper links for the school in Ghana.

Thanks to the students and families who supported it.

Thanks to the moms who worked the Hot Dog Lunch for

students.

Thanks to our great teachers and staff who made time in

their schedules for all of our special activities through the

week, attended the Cathedral Mass, played on the

volleyball team and were part of the Surprise Patrol.

We appreciate the PTG who provided the teachers with a

lunch on Thursday and will top off the week with a treat

for students on Friday at lunch.

Of course, our Catholic Schools Week gratitude list

would not be complete without thanking our principal,

Mrs. Willmes. Her commitment to our school’s academic

goals, spiritual development and sense of fun are what

makes our school the greatest!

As always, we are like one big family all coming together

to make a success of whatever we do. We are proud to be a

Catholic elementary school! May God continue to bless

St. Teresa of Avila School!
