Students and educators at St. Theresa Catholic School work to alleviate
hunger through educational and service-learning projects.
Students and teachers work together as a grade level, as a class, and
individually to serve their school, parish, and community. Saint Theresa
students provide over 3000 hours of service each year.
The school devotes an entire week annually to Social Justice. For
example, middle school students packaged meals for the hungry at the
2015 Iowa Hunger Fight, and in 2012, the students raised over $17,000 to
build a kitchen with Mary’s Meals that feeds over 500 students in Malawi.
