Dear Members of the St. Theresa of Avila School Community,

As we celebrate this holy season of peace, hope, joy, and light, I want you to know how much I appreciate the kindness and warmth of this entire community.  I continually feel blessed to be principal at St. Theresa of Avila School  and to have been so welcomed by so many of you. I have the opportunity to participate in the growth of the beautiful children in my care each day, and I am moved by their kindness toward me and others.  In the last year and a half, I have watched them form relationships with God and others as they grow spiritually, academically, physically and emotionally. I cherish my time with them each morning, and know that I also learn from them every day.  Your support and involvement in the mission of St. Theresa of Avila School unites us to the work of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and makes this the extraordinary place it is, and a sacred place to be!  My heart is filled with gratitude and I look forward with hope to the New Year and getting to know the many special people who are members of this community.  God Bless!
