Introduction
My name is Allison Lee and I am this year's PTO President. This is my 4th year on PTO and my 5th year at St. Theresa's Catholic School. I have a daughter in 4th grade (Avery), a son in 1st grade (Parker)...and then a future STCS Tiger (Preston - Class of 2033)! I am excited to serve you and our STCS community in this position this year. I have BIG shoes to fill following last year's president, Carey Engesser! Without her leadership and organization, we would not have so many strong PTO-run programs. I'm so thankful she has agreed to stay on this year as Community Service Chair. THANK YOU, CAREY!
With such uncertainty in the weeks and months to come, there is one thing that is certain. We, as a community, will continue to rally around each other, our staff and our children....and come out even stronger on the other side! Our goal as a PTO this year is to find unique ways to build unity, spread school spirit among families, and spoil our well-deserved faculty and staff! Each family is a paying member of the PTO (dues paid through activity fees). Therefore, we will also try to effectively communicate programs, events, and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
We will continue to pray over our school leadership, our amazing teachers and families (old and new!) as we prepare to kick-off this unique school year. My hope is that we can give each other patience and grace in the upcoming weeks. I'm sure I'll be the one driving the wrong way in the parking lot as I figure out middle school carline for the first time! Go Tigers!!!

PTO EVENTS
VIRTUAL Rosary
Wednesday, August 12th - 7PM
Join us as we pray over our faculty and staff as they prepare for this unique school year. The Spiritual Committee will host a virtual rosary via zoom. Several STCS students will lead decades of the Rosary. We encourage your whole family to participate together.
Meet the Teacher - Drive-thru!
Monday, August 17th - 9-11 AM
PTO is working with school leadership to organize a socially distant "meet the teacher" opportunity. Drive your students through carline and meet your teachers in-person before the first day of "virtual learning". We are still working out logistics, but you will most likely will be given a window of time to drive thru and meet your teacher, pick-up any paperwork for the first two weeks of school, as well as get your student-assigned chrome book. We will also have a PTO tent to distribute Tiger Mart uniform purchases and some other "goodies"!
Back to School BINGO Night!
Thursday, August 20th (6PM or 7PM Timeslots)
PTO will host our first VIRTUAL Event with our new Principal, Mr. Wheeler! He will be calling BINGO and PTO will have some fun prizes for the winners. BINGO cards will be available for purchase ($5/card or 5 cards for $20) through the Spirit Wear online store. BINGO cards will be distributed at the PTO tents during the "Meet the Teacher" drive thru on Monday, August 17th. Those who purchase BINGO cards will receive a zoom link via email the morning of the event!
