THANK YOU Moorefield Fire & Rescue Company 23 for the excellent fire safety presentations this morning for our 1st & 3rd grades! Our students learned about fire safety with an up-close look at a firetruck, and participated in Q&A sessions with firefighters. What a terrific learning experience!

What an event! On Monday, we celebrated the 10th Annual Friends of St. Theresa School (FOSTS) Golf Tournament at Belmont Country Club. The weather was perfect, the golf was outstanding, and the silent auction and dinner provided a fun way for our parish and school community to gather together - Covid style - to raise funds for tuition assistance. Thank you to all golfers, sponsors, donors, and volunteers for making the event such a success – we are truly grateful for your support! MARK YOUR CALENDARS for next year's tournament: Monday, Oct. 4. 2021!

Mrs. O is such a wonderful principal!! It was so special to celebrate her birthday yesterday... and on the same day as our Parish Golf Tournament/Dinner/Silent Auction to raise money for tuition aid! 🎂
