World Down's Syndrome Day--March 21
Down Syndrome Awareness Day is March 21 each year. The community celebrates it in various ways with one of the main collaborative actions being to wear fun socks. The reason socks were chosen is because down syndrome comes with an extra chromosome on the 21st spot. Socks are said to look a little bit like the shape of a chromosome. Here is a link to resources from the world down syndrome day webpage about the sock campaign: https://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/wdsd-resource-hub/ St. Teresa children may wear fun socks to school on Friday March 20th. They may wear uniform shorts with the socks if they wish. God bless.Parent Satisfaction Survey
Microsoft says it is supposed to take three minutes; we'd appreciate your input. The first part after demographic info is about what you think is important for our school. The second part is about how well we do or do not do each item as a school. Thanks for helping us work at serving your families well. Parent Satisfaction SurveySt. Teresa School and Gloria Deo

The Scale and Structure of the Cosmos
Nathaniel Cunningham will enlighten participants on how astronomers have figured out "How far away are things?" from the moon, Sun, and planets, to the most distant galaxies. It is a fascinating story, with many layers! And how do scientists get a sense of what things are made of, when they can't actually get them (or bits of them) into the lab to measure directly? March 19th, 7:00 p.m., at the Weslyan Planetarium. Please RSVP to Jean Timmerman: jean-timmerman@cdolinc.net
