PARENT TEACHER GROUP
The Parent Teacher Group (PTG) provides support to the faculty and staff of the school, serves as a voice for parents and offers community building opportunities for the mutual benefit of the children, parents, and educators. All parents, guardians, and educators of St. Teresa School are welcome members. Meetings are held quarterly during the school year and there is no cost to join. We encourage everyone to be an active member to the St. Teresa of Avila PTG.
Support Our Annual Walk-A-Thon | April 26
The countdown to the 10th Annual St. Teresa School Walk-A-Thon has begun! The Walk-a-Thon is a half day event where the students walk a designated path along Rulison Avenue. The Walk-A-Thon is an important school-wide, community fundraiser with 100% of the profit going to support the school through the Parent Teacher Group. Besides being financially beneficial to the school, the Walk-a-Thon promotes school spirit and emphasizes the benefits of exercise for the students. We thank you for your support!
