St. Theresa Catholic School

What a fun way to celebrate the end of an amazing school year! Our 4th grade students put their knowledge to the test as they reviewed the essential standards they learned throughout the year during Glow Day.

From glowing activities to engaging review games, students worked together, had fun, and showcased all they have accomplished in 4th grade. It was the perfect way to celebrate a year filled with learning, growth, and success!

Way to shine, 4th graders!

The hallways may be quiet without the sounds of students learning, laughing, and playing… but don’t let the silence fool you!

These days, the sounds filling our building are a little different:

🔨 Drilling
📦 Moving
🚧 Shifting
🛠️ Building

While our students are enjoying summer, exciting things are happening behind the scenes. We can’t wait to share what’s coming next!

Big things are on the way… stay tuned!

More photos from our day spent at the Iowa Cubs!

To celebrate a wonderful year together, our 3rd–5th grade students enjoyed a day at the ballpark cheering on the Iowa Cubs! It was the perfect opportunity to make lasting memories, enjoy time with friends, and celebrate all of the hard work, growth, and accomplishments from this school year. Mrs. Castellano even caught a hot-dog!!

From baseball and sunshine to laughter and friendship, it was a day our students won’t soon forget. What a great way to wrap up an incredible year!

School may be out… but who’s still in the building?

Our teachers spent their final day together in the chapel, reflecting on the many blessings, accomplishments, and growth of our students throughout the year. We prayed, laughed, and even shed a few tears as we celebrated another wonderful year at STCS.

Afterward, our Core Team met to review and strengthen our MTSS systems, ensuring that we have the supports and structures in place to best meet the needs of every student.

While summer has officially begun, the work of serving our students and helping them succeed continues.

Our last day of school was filled with one of our favorite traditions—the All-School Talent Show! 🎭🎶🎻

It was extra special to welcome back our eighth graders, who helped run the show and made the day even more memorable. We were amazed by the many talents of our students—from playing the cello and singing to dancing, comedy, and even a fashion show!

With more than 30 acts, the talent show was a wonderful celebration of the creativity, courage, and gifts God has given each of our students. We are so proud of everyone who stepped onto the stage and shared their talents with our school community. What a fun and joyful way to end an incredible school year!

During STEM class, first-grade students are learning about the phases of the moon and how the moon follows a repeating pattern.

They have learned that, in the Northern Hemisphere, the illuminated portion of the moon appears on the right side first as the moon waxes.

Students created models of the moon’s phases using Play-Doh to demonstrate their understanding of the lunar cycle. After completing their models, students were given time to explore their creativity by using the Play-Doh to make objects of their choice!

Teacher Appreciation Week left our hearts (and snack drawers!) very full!

A huge thank you to our incredible leadership team, generous parents, and thoughtful students for the beautiful flowers, delicious snacks, sweet treats, and heartfelt cards. Your kindness and encouragement mean so much to our teachers and staff.

We feel incredibly blessed to work in a community that goes above and beyond to make educators feel valued and appreciated. Thank you for reminding us how loved and supported we are each day!

We are grateful for each of you and our community.

Our 4th grade students spent the day stepping back in time during their Iowa history field trip to Pella! 🌷

They explored the beautiful Vermeer Windmill, visited the Historical Village to experience what life was like for early settlers, and learned more about Pella’s rich Dutch heritage along the way. Students also enjoyed stopping by one of Pella’s famous bakeries for a sweet treat—because no trip to Pella is complete without it!

From walking through historic buildings to learning about Iowa’s past firsthand, this trip was filled with meaningful lessons, fun experiences, and memories made with friends. We love seeing learning come to life beyond the classroom walls!

Our God is an awesome God.

Today, our track team had their last practice before the championship meet. Fr. Reed asked the team if they would like a blessing and to pray as a team before their meet.

Let’s go, STCS!
