St. Theresa Elementary School

Yesterday, we had the pleasure to welcome Louis Mercier to our St. Theresa community so he could share some of his traditional French Canadian's traditions, including stories and songs, with some of our students. They sure learned a lot and all had a chance to play music with wooden spoons! Lots of learning and fun!
Thank you to / Ottawa Catholic Schools (OCSB)

Hey Squires! Don’t forget it’s Spirit Week! Remember to wear your Squire gear tomorrow!

Important notice: Our upcoming PD Day, originally set for April 26 has been rescheduled to Monday, April 8, 2024, pending Ministry approval, aligning with the solar eclipse in Ottawa. This decision addresses safety concerns during the eclipse, particularly at school dismissal time. The Board of Trustees has approved this change for the safety of our students and staff. Check out our calendar page for the latest updates and access educational resources about the eclipse. Thank you for your understanding!

As we enter 2024, we embrace the
month of January, a time to recognize the Holy Name of Jesus, the giver of all our blessings and grace.

Wishing our Squires a happy new year filled with lots of joy, kindness and good health. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow!

Filled with wonder at the sight
Of the child on Christmas night.
