St. Therese News Dear Parents,

Greetings! I am so excited to share a change in focus for next week's remote learning. Rather than sending home a packet of information, the teachers have been hard at work planning a school-wide virtual field trip! We will all be going to the San Diego Zoo via their website. We are currently putting the final touches on your travel guide. In order to limit our reliance on Facebook, everything you need will be posted to our website over the weekend. We are so so looking forward to sharing this virtual adventure with you!

As I write this, we are scheduled to return to school on Tuesday, April 14. However, our governor has been indicating that it is very possible we won't be returning to the classroom for this school year. Please know that while our first choice is to be back in school, no matter what the governor decides, we will continue to support you and your children. We will just need to be increasingly creative! Whatever happens, please know we are with you in prayer and in spirit!

St. Therese, pray for us! Sheryl
